@Pulptastic @lostwonder I don’t know why people are holding on. If u/spez can do what he is doing now who says he won’t do it again? Let’s say he let’s third-party apps back. It’s a matter of time when he shuts it down, this time for good!

@DaughterOfMars Yep. :P

@DaughterOfMars True that. I did my own research and now know what the fediverse is about and wish I didn’t jus blindly follow people. I could have joined an instance of what I liked. Oh well lesson learned. There needs to be a faq about the fediverse before people just come.

@DaughterOfMars That’s why you do your research and create an account on a successful instance so you don’t have that problem. I have a lemmy account and mastodon. I have lemmy because of the blackout but didn’t know what I was doing. I note know how to use lemmy and mastodon from the user side of things. Lemmy for my subs and general looking at the sub home page and communities. Mastodon to chitchat and everything else

@AllonzeeLV I deleted my account and left my sub to a mod I trusted. He opened it backup but the feedback he was getting from the Redditors told him to shut it back down lol

@UniversalFlamingo I think you have to login to your instance with the server you made then you can interact with everyone. Example my mastodon I can login via mastodon and interact with all lemmy people. If I have a lemmy account I login through lemmy and can chat, comment on mastodon people

@Dusty @NotBadAndYou Twitter and Reddit are a dumpster fire. Only difference is that Twitter knows already and Reddit is slowly finding out!

@joeygibson @IncidentalIncidence u/spez literally looks like he could lick Elon’s boots

@IncidentalIncidence u/spez doubling again basically. Glad I left that dumpster fire and it sucks what will come next !

@Alkalyon @shindig1457 I deleted my reddit account today. It’s going to crash and burn and I’m here for it

@gt5 Sort by new for post and comments, You will thank me. Your feed will always be fresh

@sab @clueless_stoner @yads Yea when the blackout started I didn’t know what I was doing. Created a username on lemmy.world and some subs. Found about mastodon created an account there and didn’t realize I only needed one Lol. I use the lemmy username for upvoting and my subs but I use Mastodon for everything else. Comments, replies etc… I like the local and fedeversetabs on Mastodon. I guess everyone got there own niche.

@yads @clueless_stoner The ! Has never worked for me. Just the @name@whateverinstanceis works for me

@MadCybertist @SonNeedGym @hydra @Hedup Yep. They might seem like there talking but you will be talking to yourself. They have to federate to be able to talk and see all there comments and post. you might see some stuff now cause its cached but once they reboot or whatever you won’t see anything

@serfraser @youshouldknow What’s happening? Are you on an instance and want to see everyone’s comments/post on other instances? What client are you using? Are you on the website? Are you on desktop ?

@Hedup Yep. They defederated yesterday. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

@Hedup Try https://lemmy.world/instances

@Lemmy @anuckols On Mastodon you can just type in the name and press enter and it finds everyone with that instance. Normally though you would type @[email protected] in search and you can find who or what your looking for. Works like that on lemmy

@wecalledhimmavis @TipRing Once they get rid of old reddit then I’m gone completely. Old reddit makes reddit bareable. I prefer mastodon and lemmy now. Only been on since the 12th and can say both are hands down better then Reddit

@Dymonika @rimlogger Give it some time. Took Reddit 13 years. Mastodon and lemmy are gaining traction. We got to get out of the Reddit mentality to every break free
