Welcome, friend!
I'd advice you to be cautious with lemmy.world, it's turning into a new Reddit
(and it's bad for the network/federation to have such large centralised instances anyway. So you'd help keep the network healthy by choosing an instance besides .ml and .world)
Thank you, mate! Luckily I can’t sign up through the .world instance.
You probably already know the join-lemmy.org instance picker, but in case you don't, here it is:
Not yet, mate. Thanks for the link.
Oh that is the instance finder, right? Yes, I already know about that. My bad. Thank you anyway.
Keep trying on other instances unless your views align with .ml. Otherwise you'll be automatically deemed a tankie by a lot of people and that might alter your experience on the fediverse.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Thanks for the advice, mate. But, can I simply move to the other instances or I need to make a new account in that particular instance that I want to move?
youd have to make a new account. also there are other platforms that fully integrate with lemmy like mbin example: https://moist.catsweat.com that dont look like someone forgot half the css.
You can also use alternate UIs, or apps.
I run my own photon instance for use on desktop, but you can use the official one to use any lemmy account with the photon UI.
I discovered Alexandrite on desktop and it looks pretty damn good too. And it's pretty fast.
Thanks for the response and assist, mate.
You will have to make a new account on the new instance.
Oh no! 😭
It will be just another addition to your collection of lemmy accounts.
I’m still a little bit confused about your explanation. The instances are different account from one and another, right? Not like Reddit that we can follow the subreddit in a single account.
You can follow communities located on other instances, but cannot login using your account on another instance
Hey there 🖖
Hey mate!
Btw, I just aware this morning that you’re the founder of Lemmy. 😂 It’s my pleasure, Mr. Founder.
One of them, @nutomic is the other, but we have a ton of contributors now. Glad to have you.
.world is a shithole full of fascists and reddit libs. Probably for the best you joined through another instance.
Really, what your opinion about .ml instance?
It's pretty simple in general: .ml is pretty much left leaning or straight up communist/socialist, while .world is mixture of the rest meaning centre to right (as everyone leftist is already on ml or hexbear, or lemmygrad).
I see. I heard that .ml is consist of the developer of the Lemmy itself, is that true? One more thing, is that .ml the pioneer/first instance in the Lemmyverse?
Yes, lead developer is on .ml and also fits my description.
That’s sounds cool to me that I can even get into the .ml instance. 😂
Overall pretty good.
Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! 😃
Sometimes instances can have technical problems, but they are usually short-lived. It's fun to explore other Lemmy instances though!
Thanks for the wish, mate.
First of all, welcome to lemmy.
Second of all, make a second/ backup account on a smaller instance based on what youre gonna use Lemmy for.
Hello and welcome! I didn't see a couple things mentioned that I thought were very helpful to me with the instance choosing, so I just wanted to pass it along...
If you look at your account kinda like an email, all the emails can communicate with each other, just like the instances can communicate. Though, an instance can also block another so thay it can not be seen/interacted with. Like, gmail deciding they will no longer accept yahoomail, for example.
.ml has been blocked by a variety of others, so you may be missing out on some interests elsewhere, that you would enjoy.
I use an app and have a few different accounts, the app lets me just swap my sign in profiles back and forth as I like. Sometimes a server goes down or an update goes bad. Having another account let's you check in on the action, on those who are still up and running while the other gets worked on. You can even use the same name, your @ will just change.
Initial sign up is roughest step really... but not much harder than grabbing a new email!
OK, that was more than a couple, hopefully something was helpful though and helps your experience here!
Welcome to Lemmy
Thank you, mate.
Welcome, new lemming!
Thank you, mate!
Welcome! Have you found the Lemmyverse Explorer? It's a great way to find communities to join, and other instances in case you want to make a backup account.
Approved.
