I’m bottom left yet again 😞

Well the host of that instance would still have the data but most of the time I’m sure they’d just delete it to save space so posts and accounts would be gone forever

Being federated is basically your instance agreeing to show posts and users of another instance. I would be really surprised if dormi.zone was defederated since it seems like a pretty normal instance, lemmygrad would make more sense but it’s so popular I don’t think many instances have defederated them either. It’s probably just a bug, Lemmy has plenty and I’ve only ever used it on the Jerboa android app, never in browser. Stick with it, maybe some improvements will be made.

I don’t remember, the info is out there but it’s been over a year since I read it. I do know it was made by a Japanese student for a competition many years ago but that’s all I remember. I don’t intend on getting the text tattooed just the dog.

195 was a subreddit based off the mods dorm in college, the main gimmick is that if you visit you have to post something before you leave. The original sub shut down and 196 replaced it and became a very popular meme sub which then transitioned to Lemmy.

I love this image and actually intend to get it tattooed on my body relatively soon

Lemmy definitely has the steepest learning curve of any social media I’ve ever used. I think you should just be able to log into dormi.zone and you should be able to post or comment anywhere. I registered my account on lemmygrad so I’m not sure if you need to get approved to comment but I don’t think that’s the case.

Once you get the hang of things you could always create and mod a DnDGreentext community here, or atleast in the short term post your writeups to [email protected], if they’re not meant to be funny you could probably put them on the main dnd community.

When I registered the top post I had was a guide made and pinned by the mods of lemmygrad, which was super helpful, hopefully the other instance mods follow suite. Good luck and remember to let me know if you end up creating that community, I would definitely join!

Praise the emperor!

there’s no account karma, only up votes or down votes on specific posts/comments. Maybe that’ll reduce karma farmers but then again karma is useless on reddit and yet they still farm.

I’m new here also but I’ll try my best to answer some of your questions. The most confusing thing about Lemmy to me is the difference between instances and communities. Communities are basically like subreddits and are each housed in an instance. Instances (ex: Lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml, etc.) Can house one or many communities. If communities are subreddits, instances are reddit.com, the difference with Lemmy is there are many instances that are linked together.

Your Lemmy account can be on any instance and will work on all other instances

As for your last question, I’m going to assume you mean searching communities, not instances, I’m still struggling with that myself, I’ve been browsing all and occasionally clicking on active user accounts to see where else they post. I’m sure there’s a better way but that’s what I’ve been doing.

There’s a few help threads on the main Lemmy subs like askLemmy. Lemmygrad has some really good ones too, I’m sure you can find a good one if you look around. Wish you luck in this transition and remember to make a couple posts once you figure out how everything works, the more content the better!

Dug is excellent, good post
