You don’t need to join lemmy.world. Just a heads up.
Yep! Currently communicating with you from my own instance!
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.
Hello fellow lemm.ee user 👋
This interaction makes me happy.
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
How to join any other insurance which is not there in the pre-existing list?
Just type it in
Thanks , got it
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)?
This works on Mastodon, but not on Lemmy/Kbin (yet). Migration between Lemmy and Kbin in general could be tough since they’re completely different softwares and Lemmy lacks support for several Kbin functions (such as Boosts and Microblogging).
Account migration between Lemmy instances has been requested on GitHub but I don’t know much beyond that. If you just want a profile redirect it might not be too complicated, but migrating full post and comment history is a different story.
Scripts have been created to transfer settings and subscriptions from one Lemmy account to another, however:
Being able to link/synchronize accounts a cross instances would be huge for continuing to use lemmy when your main instance is having trouble or goes down.
And I think if accounts were globally federated so that you could just log into any instance, it would take away the main complaint many people have when they claim lemmy is confusing.
