I just installed the Mlem TestFlight and I’m very encouraged.

It’s already got a similar feel to Apollo and I’m excited to see it develop further. I like the Lemmy web interface as well, but it has its fair share of bugs at the moment (which is to be expected). In particular searching for communities across all instances is really easy on Mlem.

I’m not sure what is next for Reddit, but I’m feeling more and more hopeful that it doesn’t include me at the moment. If I can have a thriving home on the fedeverse, I’ll take that most definitely.

I woke up and did nearly the same thing!

Yeah! Lemmy.world is a better fit for me overall. I had joined beehaw.org after lemmy.ml asked users to try and find other instances to call home initially. I didn’t completely mesh with their server preferences. They are a great community though and I appreciate what they’re doing. I hope they keep growing as well.

I think lemmy.world is in a great position because the admin has experience hosting decentralized platforms and already has a good pipeline to cover server costs because of that.

lemmy.ml is also the first instance that I joined. I don’t think lemmy.ml should drop off. Since it’s run by the lemmy devs I think they have their hands more than full at the moment, but I’m hopeful that things will stabilize eventually and they will get more financial support with the new users.

I think it’s important to have at least a few big populated instances that are “main” instances. I like what I see with lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and beehaw.org. Personally I think it’s bad if we are too centralized on one instance or too spread out on a bunch of others. It seems like it’s going fairly well so far though, and I hope that when other big instances keep growing (and like I said get some more financial support from the community) they can improve their hardware too.

Heads up, this may not be where you meant your comment to go. @skullgiver had the same thing happen I think.

Oh good to know. I don’t think that will be an issue since the instance I’m signed up with allows NSFW/Pornographic content. I definitely see how that could cause issues elsewhere though.

I was really confused for a second! It looks like the comment above yours may have been the same thing.

Thanks! I’ll try that out.

Edit: That worked! Thanks.

Yeah! Thanks.

Ok got it. I think most instances seem to have a “main” community that is subscribed to everything local, but it’s kinda difficult to browse and subscribe to remote communities from being logged in on lemmy.world without switching back and forth to the remote instance if that makes sense.

For instance (pun intended) if I wanted to cherry pick different communities from lemmy instance A’s local stuff, while I’m logged into lemmy instance B, and lemmy instance A doesn’t have a “main” community where I can see everything from lemmy instance A then I have to switch back and forth.

It’s not too difficult especially on desktop but I kinda wish I could have ‘lemmy.world/[email protected]’ and it would show me everything that is local to beehaw in one feed. I understand that might not make sense design or philosophy-wise though.

Thanks! I understand that part but I’m wanting to browse all the communities on that instance from my instance so I can pick and choose which to subscribe to.

In other words: Is there a default /c/all or will that just vary depending on if they have a base community setup?

I was literally seconds away from asking this!

Yeah, is there a way to sort-of window into another instance so it’s easier to subscribe?

That is a good way to put it! Yeah, I can totally appreciate what they’re doing over there, but I’m excited to have lemmy.world be where I call home now.

If I’m being honest, I was a big browser of NSFW subreddits and I’m hoping that lemmy will grow and create a space for NSFW communities that are well-moderated and safe.

Great! Thanks.

Quick question: when are these changes supposed to take place? ASAP or at a specific time?

I’m glad to hear about the new users (I myself am one.) and the server upgrades!

I think lemmy.world suits me better than Beehaw. (great folks over there, no shade)

I like that lemmy.world let’s communities be openly created by users, as well as the inclusion of downvoting which I personally prefer.
