Mastodon around a year ago. Hopped around to a few mastodon instances before finding alternatives. Been running multiple fediverse instances since then (and none of them are mastodon)
So, dunno if this is a instance thing, lemmy, or just fediverse in general, but im havin trouble subscribin to communities on other instances. for example, !technology returns a 404, while !gaming loads as expected. is this expected?
The lemmyverse sounds perfect, but it ignores alternatives like kbin etc. It would be better if we didn't end up with the situation we have with Mastodon where people assume Mastodon is the fediverse....
Why should we just accept that some naïve twitter refugees have misassociated the Fediverse as being just Mastodon?
Because no amount of ideological objection will change the fact that this is exactly what has happened. People are using it this way, and what I was trying to raise here is a way to talk about this particular niche of the web without running in exactly the same problem with lemmy
This is the growth of our lemmy instance, without any advertising or spruiking. It was spun up as a test more than anything else, but it seems that it has become more than that!...
I'm experimenting with hosting my own instance. It seems like things are working, e.g. the steps in the troubleshooting doc work, http routing seems correct, etc. I can subscribe to other instance's communities and see the posts. However, comments are not syncing at all not even new ones. I suspected it might be a lemmy.ml...
It's likely your language settings. Make sure the instance (and you as a user) have undetermined listed in your available languages > This post set to English
(This post was set to Undetermined, and you likely won't see it)
This site is currently struggling to handle the amount of new users. I have already upgraded the server, but it will go down regardless if half of Reddit tries to join....
I joined lemmy.ml maybe 6 months ago as I was exploring the fediverse. Fell in love with it, and spun up an instance with my partner. It's been sitting here quietly most of that time, but has exploded recently!
I have a question about communities. Are communities server-specific, for example, is the "Gaming" community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org and will I need to join both?
The same problem existed on reddit, and it will resolve in the same way. There are often overlapping communities, but ultimately, the users will decide what works, and one or two of them will win out.
So in this case @gaming and @gaming are two different communities, both of which can be followed, and both of which federate to anyone that follows them.
It's similar to the way multiple closely related subs can exist on reddit. And it will resolve in the same way, with the users ultimately deciding
It avoids centralisation. You can simply defederate from nazi instances, and the whole platform can't be sold out from underneath you.
And for someone like me, who is trans and runs several instances for the gender diverse community, I'm able to curate the experience so my users don't experience constant hate and aggression. So if someone is posting transphobic stuff that doesn't get actioned on their home instance, I can block that user (or their whole instance) from mine even if I'm not a moderator of the community.
It's a bit of both, but it's also instance specific. Most of it comes from lemmygrad, because there is a lot of cross federation between users and groups on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. On a smaller instance without much interaction with lemmygrad, you won't see the same scenario
I got mine from a song I like https://invidio.us/watch?v=Gy88-5pc7c8&autoplay=0&continue=0&dark_mode=true&listen=0&local=1&loop=0&nojs=0&player_style=youtube&quality=hd720&thin_mode=true
what was your first exposure to the fediverse?
Mine was either mastodon or matrix. I got into both at the same time. What are some other fediverse sites for beginners?

tfw you run a lemmy instance
My email at the moment...
What do we call the Lemmy/Kbin Universe?
The lemmyverse sounds perfect, but it ignores alternatives like kbin etc. It would be better if we didn't end up with the situation we have with Mastodon where people assume Mastodon is the fediverse....

lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead

what brought you to Lemmy?
I'm just another reddit refugee to be honest
Are communities server-specific? i.e, is the "Gaming" community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org?
