This is my first comment. I just made an account on Lemmy.world. If I’m correct, users from other instances have a second @ in their name while native users do not.
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to [email protected].
I think part of that is the confusion around communities, how does a community on each instance mesh together? As people are being pushed away from the primary Lemmy instance due to overloading, the smaller ones look far less populated and lead people to feel that it’s a ghost town.
So when I follow /c/memes, am I following the one on my instance, the one on the first instance that created it or a hybrid of both?
Each instance has its own communities and they're separate from each other. If someone created a /memes/ community on another instance it would be its own thing, but people from other instances would still be able to view it.
To view a community on another instance you'd have to put the instance name in the URL. For example, if there was an instance called "coolinstance.com" with a community called "stuff", then for users on the coolinstance.com instance the URL for that community would be coolinstance.com/c/stuff. If there was another instance called reallycoolinstance.com, they'd still be able to see the "stuff" community, but to them the URL would be reallycoolinstance.com/c/[email protected]. They'd also be able to create their own "stuff" community, and people on coolinstance.com could access it by going to coolinstance.com/c/[email protected].
Welcome to a better future everyone.

Yo, your fingers are whack
Share stories, comment. Lurking doesn't generate content.
I'll wait and see how things go.
Love it! i lurked a lot on Reddit unless I had very specific questions--I think it's cool having an opportunity to grow a community.
Been doing my part. Logged out of Reddit last night (will delete all data and then the account if no changes are made by the 29th). I wanna see lemmy get bigger and grow. Plus my favorite part of Reddit were the discussions and such, I want to see the same engagement here!
Was mostly a reddit lurker, have tried to change that by hosting my own lemmy instance and actually get involved in something!
I'm a little confused on how to find more communities to join. I'm on the feddit.nl instance, and I know I can subscribe to communities on any instance, but there isn't really a search button or anything like that, at least not on the Jerboa app. Is there, like, a user guide on how this shit works?
It's hard being a lurker for so long, I only started interacting with a few smaller subreddits around sporting events and then within a year, all this crap started happening. Feel sorry for all the 3rd party developers, I used Boost and I'm glad I supported the developer over the years but can't believe how they ended up being treated. Death to Reddit
Scraped my reddit account and here to post Manatee!
No Lurking from me!
In all honesty, Thankful to be here and have something to turn to. Excited to see the massive improvements Lemmy takes on over the coming months with traffic from reddit.
The best thing about Lemmy is that it's still so raw. There is so much potential for it to be turned into something really great. Then again, television was once like that, I suppose - so was the internet, now I think about it. Oh well, at least I'm not lurking.
Just downloaded and installed Jerboa on my phone. This is me trying to do my part to help out a user-friendly Reddit replacement.
Being new here I think I'll mostly lurk at first. But here goes my first comment anyways. Looking forward to a growing community.
i just feel so foreign still, then again, everyone does, but it's hard to find the will to interact when you feel foreign, ykwim? like being a stranger at a party, it's all fun and all but it feels pretty hard to just approach a random group of ppl and be like "henlo guys my name is johnathan and i'm here to show u my cat", lmao, but yeah you're right we gotta push it a little bit. no other way to start than by starting.
Just delete all of my posts and a 12-year old reddit account. So long Reddit...
Trying my best! I'm trying to decide if I want to open my instance up to more users or not as well.
Huh. So that's how you comment!
