I'm just sticking to lemmy.world for now. It doesn't have all the communities I want yet but it seems more open than the others. I don't like walled gardens or gated communities. If I wanted a platform with power hungry, elitist moderators creating circle jerk in-groups, I would have stayed on Reddit.
Same. I joined .world randomly because I didn't understand Lemmy when I joined, but I made the right decision!
Yeah same. I did shop around a bit on other instances but i decided the general purpose one here was the most sensible for me.
You can follow any lemmy or kbin community from one account on any instance
Except comms from beehaw if you're on .world; leave those and join another similar comm if you are.
Select "all" rather than "local" and you'll see content from all federated instances.
You don't need to do all that, you only need one account as they are all federated, meaning they can talk to each other.
The exemption is beehaw, because they are defederating temporarily to put less strain on the servers
It's not about the servers, it's about moderation. They have a clear vision of what their instance should be like but they don't have the tools not moderators to make it so while getting traffic from other big instances
I just joined .world because it sounded the most logical
"Oh it says world, that probably means i can see things all over the world"
I'm not disappointed
World here too on the Jerboa app, I'm subscribed to a BUNCH of communities in other instances and can browse and comment on them all with my world profile. Still kinda confused how it all works but I'm liking it so far
You don't need multiple accounts, one account can access all different instances, including subscribing to remote communities. You just have to click "All" in the communities or post list to see them, instead of "Local".
Except for beehaw.org defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, and I think some defederated from lemmygrad.ml.
Also it should be said that edited comments don't seem to pass across the instances. I think they only sync when the comment has been made.
You donβt need multiple accounts, one account can access all different instances
You need a kbin account to find out if you find kbin better than lemmy.
Did beehaw.org defederate from lemmy.world ? I'm on Lemmy world and see posts from beehaw. Is there a way to check who is federated with who like some kind of map?
If I'm not mistaken, you can see the posts and can even comment, but only people on lemmy.world will see your comment. People from beehaw and other instances won't see it. That's because lemmy.world haven't defederated from beehaw.

You can see which instances are blocked here: https://beehaw.org/instances. It's in the bottom of the page of every instance home page or just add '/instance' after the instance's address.
That's actually a really clever approach
Reading an image, page refreshes, lose image. I wish I could turn off the auto-refresh or reduce the interval.
Careful, I said something like that and a guy posted a thousand word rant at me removed about reddit refugees asking for more reddit lol, I was like chill dude I just want a simple platform to shitpost on without a phd in the lemmiverse or whatever jeez
Yeah, some people are reaaaalllyy into the fediverse. It's okay tho
That meme is 11 years old now.
Shocking.
Exact same feel but with Boost for Reddit
Everyday I learn of another 3rd party app for reddit which I didnβt knew existed. It shows how big reddit has become over the years and how spez has screwed over sooooo many people with that decision.
He doesnβt care. All he wants is the IPO to cash out.
It bums me out so much. I was a Boost user for a solid 5~ years, been on reddit for about 5Β½. Finally deleted my account earlier this morning
I find Jerboa to be similar enough for the moment, but it still has a long way to go to match Boost in it's comfort and feature richness.
Jerboa is fine, but it's not "years and years of polish" quality yet. Which is totally okay, everything has to start somewhere and the app works for most things which is enough to not be too annoying.
Relay for me. I really hope that someone ends up implementing some kind of translation layer for the reddit API that would encourage the existing reddit apps to supper Lemmy.
That would be a spectacular idea.
And I'm happy to see another Relay user. They seemed to be left out of the lists even though they've got a fantastic app
I'm loving it honestly. I've gotten myself into a complete fankle with I think five different logins, but it's great. I've made a couple of posts even. Having always been a lurker, I now feel more like a participant rather than a consumer. I don't want a monolith, I like the neighborhood feel, having to figure things out, knit up the threads myself.
Beehaw told me not to join unless I could say specific groups I wanted to join. Nah from me.
This will die down eventually: at the moment there are many different independent ideas of how to build federated reddit alternatives that have yet to really be tested for how the underlying systems and moderation tools scale. In due time there's going to be a standard application or at least standard exchange format between the different services, that just doesn't happen right now since all methods are really new and now get "suprise load tested".
That's also why you experience outages and Beehaw explicitly asking people not to join: everything went from "fringe techdemo" to "the internet is moving off of reddit" in a matter of less than a week (same thing is true with app support) and everything is at its breaking point: from the underlying technology to new communities appearing in a matter of hours to days (usually with less experienced moderators).
just pick one, you only need one, and you see posts from the other 3 from that one source. hi from kbin, viewing and commenting from kbin right now
I need a damn explain it to me like I'm five for how all this works. My brain can wrapped it up into neighborhoods or space fleets but the in an out communications are the part I'm missing.
The Fediverse is like a group of interconnected neighborhoods, each representing a different social platform or community. Just as you might have neighbors on your street who interact and share things over time, these communities can communicate and exchange ideas. These neighborhoods may differ in size or focus, but they all exist within a larger universe - just like planets orbiting around a sun. In this case, think of our star system as something like Friendica (the first step towards the modern fediverse) and Diaspora* (itself originally based on Friendica). And just as there might be traffic or communication issues between planetary systems, there could be friction between distinct Fediverse networks. But ultimately, weβre still talking about a united whole here! Finally, imagine spaceships zipping back and forth through space linking up these distinct points of interest - say hello to the protocols bridging connections between decentralized nodes known as βfederationβ today. Itβs all connected!
kbin and lemmy federate with each other. You only need one account and you can view posts from any instance*
