It gets more confusing when the instance you joined decides to unfederate and half of your subs stop working! Then you have to join a new instance and start over because subs nor usernames carry over.
Do you have a grasp of the fediverse now?
It sounds like you know enough to use the site properly :)
Heh, yup
It was confusing at first
The confusion never went away. Beehaw defederated, so I understand that you would then have to create a specific Beehaw account in order to engage with Beehaw communities, but why would I want to as a Lemmy.world user, is what I'm confused about.
That's not the most convenient though. You could have an account on any instance that's not lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works and you'd be able to access both beehaw and Lemmyworld/shitjustworks
I got my account on lemm.ee and was wondering how the defederation affected me, good to know, thanks.
It doesn't. Beehaw blocked LW and SIJW because of open sign ups and, what I assume, was people creating new accounts when their old one was banned.
If you're not on any of those two instances or on beehaw, you're not impacted.
Beehaw is sending a message, imho, that instances need take reasonable measures to ensure their users don't repeatedly commit some sort of abuse.
This raises a question about the use case of user-only instances and community-only instances which might not be a bad idea.

I have like three now, because it wasn't clear that that wasn't required. I think I'm getting it more now, but it's taking a bit to get there.
i need a tutorial
I hope this place gets better with time.
Nope, still confusing
Reminds me of the good old days creating a different identity for each forum I signed up at.
On the internet, you can literally just be anyone you want.

I will stick to only one account. Too much accounts are pain.
So, Iβve a question. Is there a back button?
Iβll select something from my feed, but then get stuck having to then go all the way back and scroll all the way back down to where I left off.

Lol. I can barely figure out one.
Lmao I did this, but for Mastodon. Mastodon kinda helped me to understand the concept a better
Yes, you have to create an account on every instance that exists and always use that account to interact with that instance.
If you keep a central account, one day you will anger the wrong person and they will blacklist you off the entire fediverse, losing all relationships and history to overcome ostracisation.
I even consider making a new account per instance per month. Maybe the process could be automated too.
When John Fed wants you off his verse, you are gone

I have 2 with the idea that if my home instance went down Iβd still be able to see whatβs going on. Not that Iβm concerned about a mass failure, more for like server maintenance downtimes.
