It's crazy to me that whatever program you used to make that account on that server didn't automatically force a backup location on the same device where the account is used. On Android, some folder. On desktop, some folder. And it's crazy to me that we can't just import all of our votes, comments, and posts in that backup to another account on the same device or another.

That is a terrible system. No answers from me. Just questions

Lemmy Explorer

Instance and Community Explorer for Lemmy

(lemmyverse.net)

Type a word for something you might be interested in, and if there's a community it should come up there. The main problem is still that the fediverse doesn't have enough people to support niche (or even kinda niche) interests yet

Yeah I join two neither are great. And unlike here you can't see anything outside your instance. Guess I will keep posting to YouTube until they get their shit together.

This is exactly what happens with Churches. Someone starts a "hip" new church plant. Everyone leaves the local long-established churches. Long established churches shut down. Church plant falls apart because the guy starting it doesn't know what he's doing. No Church.

Lemmy isn't too hard, it's just annoying at times. Like when your instance hasn't downloaded the content of a given community and it just looks empty until you subscribe to it.

I was struggling so hard to find the original post, finally found it over on aussie.zone and then I saw that it was a lemmy.world post, an instance I've blocked on my local instance, feddit.dk. Stuff like that is what makes lemmy a bit confusing haha

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

I'm still mad at the 196 mods for causing even more 196 commies to be made for me to block.

Isn’t moe the bartender in the simpsons?

Wow, so that's how it works. I signed up to a couple because they interested me and hoped in the future something would be posted, or I would, and then saw a heap of posts.

It wasn't dark magic after all. Perhaps it was psionics?

3 legged dung beetle jump racing isn't niche!

But, after all that it's still better than Reddit.

Lemmy isn't hard, it's just different

.

It's not even that different really.

Those all caps you're using are cruiser control. The ones used in Reddit are to show excitement. Get excited for the product, "wow" /s.

I already forgot what the troll said, intentionally as it is irrelevant

Derp. ...it's the sensible thing to do here, I know.

yeah, the ui is a total ass, but its fun

I still don't fully understand what Fediverse and instance means.

Fediverse = universe of federated instances.

Federation = many entities connected together and interoperating, etc

Instance: every individual Lemmy site with its own domain name runs an instance (a running copy of the software) on its server.

Those servers are talking to each other so users on one can talk to users on another server. That's federation.

Dude it's 2025 is that good ass or bad ass
