(Reminder: if you have shared the original version in a public post with an old version up, replacing it with this one might be more helpful.)

I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement.

Feel free to share this poster as you wish, especially on Reddit. All I ask is that you respect the license and don’t remove my socials at the bottom. If anyone’s addition is included, I’ll credit them, and if this gets added onto (or translated) by someone else later, they can add their info as well.

I hope someone can find it useful with the subreddit blackouts right around the corner.

I want to thank the Beehaw admins so much for their amazing work!

(Poster edited; I spotted a duplicated word, mrmanager@lemmy.today noted the lack of whitespace; current version is slightly larger and has been spaced out. You can still request the 800x2000 size, but know it is a little squished.)

(Edit 2: Removed defederation part as it’s not really required. The email analogy blackcoffee@beehaw.org suggested has been added, thanks!)

(Edit 3: Here’s another version making the interconnectivity a bit clearer and mentioning some cool-looking reader apps that have been suggested! Also made the image slightly longer for ease of viewing. I might do some small cosmetic changes tomorrow)

(I’ll put out Edit 4 tomorrow, which will include the date the edit was made, will clarify mlem only being available through TestFlight, will mention other Kbin instances, as well as a reminder to confirm emails with any new signup in a timely fashion. Thank you all for the help and tips!)

Jerboa has a not very user-friendly interface. Maybe I'm not used to it, but the feed updates jerkily, everything works with a slight lag.

join the same communities together

Let me make sure I have this right:

  • there are separate Lemmy instances
  • I can chat with other people from other instances (like email)

If I wanted to join the same communities as a friend, do I need to sign up for another instance or do communities 'live' on multiple instances? For instance, a community on 'cats.' If there is one on {instance1} and {instance2}. They aren't the same, right?

There are some duplicate communities (e.g. cats@instance1 and cats@instance2 to use your example) but you can subscribe to and interact with either/both communities without leaving your chosen instance - you don't need to make multiple accounts.

Extremely useful & consice! Thanks for the work ~

[–] PiedPipetter@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I was confused by "instance instances" in the first starred note.

[–] Burrito@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you. I'm new to this sort of thing.

[–] fromnewradius@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

How can i collapse comments?

[–] icanmakesound@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the info! Been here for a few days but it can still be a little confusing.

[–] CrimsonFlash@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Question: Why are multiple communities allowed with the same name? Won't that create too much confusion? beehaw.org/c/community is different than lemmy.ml/c/community. Wouldn't it be better that all subs go to a single instance, no matter what the TLD is?

Quick question is there normally a long federation delay between kbin and Lemmy?

For example while making a post/comment may be instantaneous, I noticed when using the edit feature for comment title there is a massive delay (6+ hrs sync delay for title change).

Curious is this common or more of a one off

[–] cielnova@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I'm still not entirely sure of how it works, but I still think this was really useful. Thanks for the info

[–] wreck@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

You are a saint.

[–] Encinos@dormi.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So I'm trying to understand the whole federation thing, I know we can view/reply to the posts/comments on different servers, even to different platforms(?) like kbin/Mastodon while using a Lemmy account, though they might have slightly different formats, but can we sort of "follow" the feeds of other platforms?

Essentially what I'm trying here is to look for a one app/account to rule them all approach, where I can doom scroll through all the feeds from everywhere, kbin, Mastodon, Fedia, Beehaw, you name it.

For instance, since every server appears to have their own Communities/Magazines, I'm wondering if I can just subscribe to something like gaming@beehaw.org, gaming@kbin.social and user69420@mastodon.social, and read through all their posts in a single page?

[–] Hhffggshn@lemmy.click 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes! I use jerboa for android to see all my joined communities on one feed.

[–] Encinos@dormi.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you! Glad to see that option is available. Sadly I’m on iPhone, guess I’ll have to wait until that perfect app pops up.

[–] Hhffggshn@lemmy.click 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is an Apple app, but I don't know the name of it.

[–] Encinos@dormi.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, there are 2, mlem and memmy, but at the moment their functions are very very bare bone. I been using them all day long and I didn't even know I have 2 notifications. Thank you anyway, I'll just wait to see how everything goes.
