New guy here. Signikg up was a bitch but glad to be here :)
What made it a bitch? Genuinely curious.
Instances - what are they and how does it work together. Also slow password reset emails. I have three accounts now.
I still don’t really understand but i am in 🤷♂️
Think about instances as email providers. You pick a provider (feddit.dk, feddit.uk, lemmy.wtf etc.) to access everything from all the other Lemmy providers + the rest of "the Fediverse", which fx consists of Mastodon, PeerTube and Pixelfed.
Was it on Feddit.dk you had issues with slow emails? That might be something the admin, @[email protected] should look into.
Thank you for the reply. The thing is, and I think this will apply to others too, I’m just a casual user. Unknown boxes scare me.
Couldn’t they be hidden away on signup (prefilled) and only visible when you click ‘advanced’.
Also, I have a mastodon account too. Are they now the same thing?
If it helps, you can check out PieFed.social - the topic areas are at the top, no need for an account until you have decided to become active with voting, comments, or posts, and in that case there's a sign-up wizard offering to subscribe you to topic areas of your choice, and put up keyword filtering for "Trump" or "Musk" or some such, to either see that content never, only a little, or not filter it at all.
Maybe you don't need all that anymore, perhaps you've already found an app that you like that does similarly (Sync or Connect?), but I thought I'd mention just in case:-).
Måske det hjælper hvis man skifter til dansk, så vi ikke bliver forvirret af sprogbrugen :)
Som @[email protected] siger så er fediverset decentraliseret - det vil sige at i stedet for at der kun er en udbyder (fx Reddit), så er der mange udbydere af sociale medier som hænger sammen. Man plejer at kalde hver udbyder en "instans", altså Feddit.dk er en instans, lemmy.world er en anden instans. Så man vælger en udbyder/instans, ligesom man vælger om man går i Netto eller Rema (selvom de jo tit har de samme ting).
Mastodon fungerer på samme måde, dvs. der er mange instanser der kører Mastodon-softwaren som alle hænger sammen. Faktisk hænger Mastodon og Lemmy også sammen, da de bruger samme underliggende protokol. Det er der hvor det bliver rigtig fedt for så kan man begynde at skrive fra Mastodon til Lemmy eller den anden vej. Det ville svare til at skrive fra Twitter til Reddit eller den anden vej, noget man aldrig kunne forestille sig i de traditionelle kommercielle sociale medier.
Jeg forstår godt at meget af det her er anderledes end hvordan de traditionelle centraliserede sociale medier virker, og jeg er sikker på du ikke er den eneste der er forvirret. Jeg tror faktisk det ville være rigtig fint hvis du stillede dine spørgsmål og forundringer som et indlæg i [email protected], så kunne andre på Feddit.dk også måske få glæde af forklaringerne :)
What "boxes" are you talking about here, when signing up on a Lemmy provider?
Mastodon and Lemmy is different software, serving two different functions, but they are connected. So it is possible for a user on Mastodon to create and comment on posts from Mastodon, on Lemmy.
