    I think registration finally worked this time. Good news, everyone!

    First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help get us started? I’m using the Connect Lemmy app!

      Best I can say is that you have your local server, which is the server you originally signed up in. You then have all the rest of the connected (federated) servers that can see what you say.

      Each server is its own mini-lemmy, so it is broken down into communities just like subreddits. Each has its own server administrators and each community has its own moderators.

      Regarding content delivery, it seems to be about the same process: a link, image, video, or text from a certain community. The responses are similarly threaded with buttons for interaction.

      The largest differences I have seen are that each server instance can have duplicate communities. Different servers have different tolerances for communities. In extreme cases, whole servers can be blocked (defederated) from your server. This is usually due to unwanted behavior from the users that is not curbed by the moderators or extreme communities that cause hardship for other users.

      This is what I got after about a week of lurking. If I’m not correct, please let me know.

    Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!

      So far. Once it becomes completely mainstream, all the bad people will come in as well, imo. It do be like that with every community, sadly.

    I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I’m doing.

      lemmy.world/c/bayarea is sort of active. I hope this site doesn’t fade out of popularity similar to the migration to voat back in the day. I do think the federation of lemmy will prevent a repeat of what’s currently going on with reddit ruining itself and 3rd party apps. Still learning how to use this site myself.

      Thanks for the work you did on the SF sub; I got the sense it could be a handful on occasion. Nice to recognize some of the cool ex-redditors here. I modded /r/chaosmagick and a half-dozen other tiny subs. It’s pleasant to get away from the flustercuck spez has turned reddit into.

    When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.

      Yeah looks like lemmy.world is slow today. Not surprised due to the influx of users. Ruud and the team has been working on it diligently the last couple of weeks, expanding hardware, writing code, fixing bugs, etc. Please be patient as we grow!

        Then maybe stop passing this off as an alternative? For people whining about the UX of the new reddit app, this is also garbage.

    First comment on Lemmy… Been a lurker on Reddit for years who’s recently become more active… Looking forward to contributing more on Lemmy! Network errors galore right now, but that’s a good thing right? Everybody coming over from Reddit in droves, I would imagine… Let’s f’in goooooo!

    Edit: this comment gave me all sorts of problems while attempting to post, sorry for the duplicate versions… but I imagine this will calm down soon and all will be right as rain in no time 👍
