After being suspended for criticising Reddit's God King, I've come to Lemmy.
Got suspended for criticising spez. So now I'm spending my time here and have already setup communities for !pathfinder2e and !talesfromretail. Good riddance to Reddit.
Communities/magazines don't sync right away, someone has to try to access the community from kbin first then in the background the federating starts. Sometimes is takes a while but once it's done all the new posts/comments will show up but not the older stuff. It looks like the pathfinder2e is working now at least for me.
That's because the back catalogue of posts don't get sent when you subscribe, any more than the back catalogue of magazines get sent if you subscribe to National Geographic.
Welcome, I came over earlier this week. Once you get your head around different instances and people from kbin and mastodon answering in teh same post (which is cool) and the occasional errors (or isues when errors don't appear whe they should) which should be patched soon, hopefully, lemmy seems to give more freedom than reddit.
Side note: the fact I can make a post and comment on a community in a completely different instance without having to make multiple accounts is awesome.
Not just a completely different instance, but a completely different platform. This thread is hosted on kbin, you and me are posting from lemmy, how awesome is that?
On Kbin, hover the mouse over the "more" menu under the post/replies and click on "copy URL to fediverse", that will send you to the original instance.
By the tooltip on the username, hovering on yours says "0110010001100010@kbin.social" for me for example, if you hover on mine you'll see "ulu_mulu@lemmy.world".
If there's nothing after the @ it means the user is on the same server/platform as yours, if there's something after the @ that's the name of the server/platform they're writing from.
Edit: the same is true for communities, this thread appears to me as posted on RedditMigration to the "Threadiverse"@kbin.social, because I'm on a different server (platform in this case) so I see what's after the @.
You see the community as just RedditMigration to the "Threadiverse" because you're on kbin.social that's the same server where the community exists.
hey thanks for making this clear to me. can I view and post on other places like mastadon? that's the part I can't wrap my head around trying to do from my instance
