  • medyo mahirap gumawa ng lemmy account, buong araw na pala ayos kung bakit ayaw

    • Mej bad timing lang kasi dagsa rin ang tao na gumagawa ng account sa iba't-ibang Lemmy instances. Tapos kung dito naman, inaayos din ng (instance) admins yung server, para makayanan yung dagsa ng tao.

      That said, I also had some trouble creating my account a few days ago, lol!

      • ano ba yung lemmy instance, parang ba magsesetup ng community server para sa lemmy, medyo noob ako dito eh

        • Sorry medyong baluktot pa Tagalog ko. My friend explained it like this for less techy users:

          • Lemmy the platform is planet Earth
          • "instances" like lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org, etc. are like the different countries on Earth
          • When someone signs up, the user picks one instance to be a part of, like how an Earthling becomes a citizen of a country
          • If you register at lemmy.ml, that means your *home instance */ "home country" is lemmy.ml, but you can "travel" to lemmy.world, another instance / "country", to check out and subscribe to their community
          • When you subscribe to a different instance that's not your home instance, you can still participate in their content, and other people will be able to see which instance / "country" you're from
          • Each instance can have its own version of the same "subreddit", so you can have a c/Philippines in your home instance that is different from a c/Philippines in another instance. But you can subscribe to both separately (sidenote: c/<name> is the naming convention used here I think)

          Someone please correct any of this if any of it is wrong, I'll happily edit

          • Yeah, parang ganyan din yung pagkaka-explain sa akin nun.

            Additional note lang, kung mag-rerefer tayo sa communities sa ibang instance, ang notation is kinda like this: /c/[email protected] Parang e-mail account daw, lol!

        • parang ba magsesetup ng community server para sa lemmy

          Parang ganun nga siya.

          At the risk of oversimplifation, attempt kong i-explain kung paano ko sya naintindihan. Yung Lemmy, program siya na pwede mong i-install at patakbuhin sa server o sa mismong computer mo. Yung ininstall na Lemmy sa server o kung saan man, ang tawag dun, instance. IIsang klase ng program lang yung gamit nila, (Lemmy) pero iba't-iba ang nagpapatakbo. So, syempre, dahil iba-iba ang nagpapatakbo, iba-iba rin ang pamamalakad.

          Ngayon, andito tayo sa lemmy.world instance, iba rin yun sa lemmy.ml or beehaw.org. Pero ang kagandahan sa Lemmy, dahil sa part siya ng Fediverse, pwedeng "mag-usap-usap" ang mga instances. So, kahit na ako andito nag-register sa lemmy.world, pwede akong mag-post or mag-comment sa mga community (equivalent sa subreddit sa kabila), na ginawa sa lemmy.ml or beehaw.org.

          Ang naging problema nga lang, dahil sa dagsa ang mga tao na dumating galing Reddit, yung ibang instances, di kinaya ang dami ng tao, or nag-aatempt na mag-gawa ng paraan para makayanan ang dami ng taoβ€”yun yung ibig kong sabihin kanina.

          • ahh parang decentralize yung paghost ng instance at pwede magcommunicate ang iba't-bang instance, kaya pala noong tinitignan ko bakit meron lemmy.world at lemmy.ml magkaiba ba ito o parehas ba. yun pala parehas naman kaya na lito ako kung saan ako magsisign-up

            • It's also worth noting na may important distinction yung mga instances. lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml for example, are populated by tankies. So, kahit na may Philippines sila dun na community, it's not as casual unlike the version we created here at lemmy.world that uses the Mastodon code of conduct similar to reddiquette.

              Sa totoo lang hindi rin ako familiar sa mga ideological distinctions na yan nung una. The only reason why I chose to create this in lemmy.world is because the other bigger instances weren't accepting any new applications. Buti na lang, haha.

              • Buti na lang talaga! Parang nung sumali ako, fresh off the oven pa itong instance na ito, so wala rin akong idea other than it was created to take the load off some of the other instances.


                Edit:

                Alangan din akong i-bring up yung ideologies that differ between instances (like lemmy.ml is kinda left-y, lemmygrad.ml is communist, hexbear even more so) and ended up hinting at them by saying "magkaibang kultura". πŸ˜…

            • Well, pareho lang silang Lemmy, pero dahil sa magkakaiba ang nagpapatabo, magkakaiba ang pagpapatakbo ng mga yan. So kunwari, yung lemmygrad.ml iba ang patakbo sa beehaw.org. Kaya importante rin na i-check yung instance na sasalihan, mejo magkakaiba-iba sila ng patakaran at kultura.

              Tho that said, as far as I know, chill lang dito sa lemmy.world, and I think it's one of the best instances to join in lalo na kung mejo undecided ka.
