Long press in the spot in red and actions will appear. Its not very intuitive and might be a bug.

• you’re right, the username isn’t showing the domain for me. I have to click on the profile to see the full username. Maybe it was the web UI where I was seeing the extension. That would be an improvement.
• yea I think the idea is to have a bunch of hosts
• I agree, if this is going to work the popular communities need to spread out between many different instances.
• I have seen that advice but I think it is somewhat important for the reasons you said.

Yea I don’t like the new interaction. I would prefer to just see it to begin with.

I know a few of these and can speculate a bit on the others to try to give an answer before someone else replies.

1. I believe that they just disappear so you want to be sure to choose a home instance you expect to stick around. In the long term if Lemmy develops a way to “link” communities between instances then it would be a way to prevent communities from disappearing in those cases.

2. Yes they can have the same username but for your home instance you see the name like “gamer_guy123” without the @lemmy.world but on another instance they would be “[email protected]”. Just like how email works they can have the same username but the domain is different.

3. An instance will limit the number of registrations to keep the bandwidth costs down. A lot of these people hosting are hobbyists but believe strongly that Lemmy is the future and are covering the costs which with limited registrations would not be massively expensive. I do wonder how much storage is required though.

4. A corporate could spin up a Lemmy instance which would likely be a more stable home instance. Since Lemmy is federated though all the activity can be synced between instances and each instance would be able to control their API so the corporate could lock down the API potentially but other instances would still be able to use their APIs. The concern I would have here is that a single Lemmy instance becomes a walled garden and doesn’t federate. That would give them the same control as Reddit. It’s up to users to make sure not to centralize under one instance.

5. Your home server can block instances if desired. It’s important to have a home instance with a policy you agree with. For lemmy.world you can see the list here: https://lemmy.world/instances right now there is only 1 blocked instance.

Hope this helps!

I also don’t see them by default but if I click or hold on this area in red those actions appear for me.

Edit: specifically it appears to be when I hold, not just tap

This is great. Just installed and the image viewer is great along with the fonts being consistent.

Looks like 6…at least on jerboa android app

Any idea if there is a delay in community searching? Someone mentioned a newly created community (1 hour ago) on sh.itjust.works and I searched on lemmy.world for it and nothing but I can visit it directly.

Exactly, like I get notifications from time to time and I may log in and say I’m not interested at the moment but otherwise I just forget it.

If reddit allowed 3rd party apps to operate at reasonable prices and charged separately for AI training use so that apps like boost and Apollo could exist I would consider using it. I loved it for the communities, some niche, but I am onboard with Lemmy now and I hope that grows here.
