I didn’t say Abe Lincoln I said Hey Blinkin

Nah. As long as your instance is federating with all the ones that you want to interact with, there isn’t much of a reason to have multiple accounts. However, if you want to see and interact with content that your main instance has blocked, you might then make another account.

Fish flavored fries? Yuck! No thanks!

The only exception is if one of the two servers has chosen not to federate with the other. In that case, you would want one on each account. However, that’s pretty rare as of right now.

Looks like it can be self-hosted. You should be able to install Docker and run it with the docker run command it shows (then go to localhost:8080). Here’s a link to it on GitHub: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

Even though Lemmy and Kbin use two completely different software platforms, they are both based on a technology called ActivityPub. This allows different servers (instances) to talk to each other using a process known as Federation.

At the moment, Kbin is federating (meaning talking to other servers, including Lemmy), so you can view and interact with Kbin magazines from Lemmy. I am not sure how it works on Kbin, but for us Lemmy users, we copy paste the Kbin link into our search bar.

So no, you don’t really need to make separate accounts unless the instance (website) has blocked yours or vice versa.

It’s different for us Lemmy users. Too unblock a community, you have to go to the community itself and click unblock. Edit: It’s also in settings under blocked on the website

Don’t forget you can also follow communities on other instances too! If you put something like [email protected] into your search box (it can be buggy sometimes, give it a few minutes and retry). It should also already show up if someone else did that already.

I’ve been looking networking/hosting types of communities. So far I’ve found [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. Not sure about Judo but don’t forget you can always create a community!

Yeah! Apparently a PR was open a week ago but they just merged it in today.

Yup. Then it doesn’t hurt the asshole because they can just move to a different instance with like-minded people, which is not a problem because of blocking instances!

Looks like they just merged the change in a few hours ago. Unfortunately it wasn’t released in 0.17.4, so it’ll probably be in the next release either 0.18.0 or 0.17.5

I’ve created the issue. It looks like it only affects when a video is hosted on a different instance than the one you’re viewing on. Here’s a link to the issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1221

~~Thanks! I’m not sure if it’s because your instance is so new or not. Can you post it somewhere on your instance and I can check if it loads there? ~~ Edit: Disregard it looks like it does

I’ll be happy to file it. Can you reply with the original video again so I can point it out? I saw the error message.

Looks like it might be a bug. In Firefox, I’m seeing “No video with supported format and MIME type found” but if I right-click and open in a new tab, it works.

I have seen others explain it like email. Email accounts will still exist regardless of if, say, Gmail shuts down. Same with fediverse instances. Unlike traditional social medias like Facebook and Twitter, people can talk to people on other sites. Imagine if people on Twitter and Facebook could reply to each other

The closest thing I could think of is other instances blocking the troublesome one. Maybe if they add support for moving your account to another instance, then you could just move in protest.

Right? I can’t wait to see how it improves as time on. I didn’t have any real problems with joining on my end, though. When you signed up, was it the approval process on your instance, or just confusing? If it was the approval process, that’s probably specific to lemmy.ca.
