Most people here are probably already aware of the situation on Reddit. This is a thread to discuss it here.

    Long time user of the sub, checking in on the new hot platform as promised in my last post there.

    Not sure I quite understand the whole instances stuff yet, but it seems useable enough for my needs.

      Looks like you have the basics figured out.

      For those who are new to federation and want to see what it looks like, note that friftar’s account is from feddit.de while this community is from lemmy.world.

        Just reading the descriptions I found was really confusing, but actually seeing and playing around with it, it’s decently intuitive.

        Also, it’s great to see some of the old names on here already! Hoping some more of the legends move over instead of just leaving the community entirely.

        From what I’ve seen so far (less than 15mins here yet :-)) it looks like old FIDONet did in the 80s, but without the 9600 USRobotics modems exchanging bundles of messages all day :-)

          I suspect you’re visiting feddit.de directly and then you can’t post because you don’t have an account there. If instead you visit this link to a community hosted there from the server you’re logged in to, you can post.

          There’s definitely some room for the software to improve its user experience surrounding that.
