Remember you can join any instance and still talk to everyone

...Unless they do a massive defederation like Beehaw.

For all new users: I'd recommend picking an instance that:

• Is geographically close to you first
• Has the same "moral compass" as you (ie if they allow NSFW content or are defederated from instances that has sensitive content)
• That isn't hammered by too many new users

It's not that hard to check out this info, usually after a day or two on Lemmy you'll figure these things out.

My instance lemm.ee is sooo bad, totally don't join our awesome club so I get longer load times. 🤫 How can we bare having not banning the evil porn and federating with all the other instances!

Also a cute lil instance at https://literature.cafe/ opened up too.

Lemmy being so confusing is partly why I was upset about Reddit taking a dump. I don't understand the difference in all the Lemmy things or what to sign up for. I was excited about Sync because it seems to make it easier to understand and see everything. I just want something that will replicate a frontpage which is what Sync is trying to do. I don't have the desire or time to learn the ins and outs of it all.

You can also pick instances that are more lax and federate with everyone, then filter instances you don't want to see, on sync. Huge feature

Come to sh.itjust.works, we have the best name.

Switched to lemm.ee because lemmy.world is down like every other day, for multiple hours at a time. Been better so far.

FYI lemmynsfw.com is down right now. That's why you couldn't log in.

I used to see reports that you could "carry over" your account from one instance to another. Do you have any details on this, or whether this also works between different services (e.g. KBin and Lemmy)?

Yep! Currently communicating with you from my own instance!

Can someone explain what instance mean? Why are there different instances?

I'm on a few instances for this reason. Too many people on lemmy.world making it unusable most of the time.

@[email protected] Account migration isn't possible yet. But you can sign up to as many instances as you like with the same username and email. Also you can post to any KBin or Lemmy instance as long as it's federated with your home instance.

However sometimes there's issues, like right now with me not being able to reply to you directly.

Shouldn't I be able to reply on lemmy using my mastodon account?

Unless you identify as a communist then your instance is preemptively banned from lemmy.world

How to join any other insurance which is not there in the pre-existing list?

How does sync work on pc?

lemdro.id is taking new users as well!

Some posts and comments don't show up on some instances. I prefer to stay with the bigger ones for that matter

Sync actually helped me figure out that I can sign up for lemmy.this and still see stuff for lemmy.that. the organization is the tricky part it seems. I can look at the everything section and see it all but I would like to see an everything that includes my subscribed things (subreddits for lack of knowing the correct term) I'm sure that will come though as Sync gets more and more polished
