Thanks. So far, I'm really enjoying Lemmy. What I really miss is a good iOS client. But I guess it's hard to build something like Apollo...

Iβm liking it a lot, so far!
This is a very different experience! I'm currently posting from a Mastodon server to a Lemmy server. I'm excited to see how a federated web can serve creators and users alike.
I'm having trouble navigating through lemmy. The Frontpage was different before I created an account. Could someone explain the instances? I logged in to lemmy.world does that mean the content on the rest of lemmy is off limits? I have to create an account for each instance?
I see there is lemmy.ml and others
Edit: I get it now. Thanks for the explanation

How do instances decide to defederate other instances popping up in the future? E.g. an NSFW instance is created but I don't want to see any of it when I browse "All".
Simply block it.
I didn't mean for individual users, but for the whole instance. Like Lemmygrad is blocked by other instances.
A bit uncomfortable with the UI and stuff, as I am an old.reddit user, I like to consume content in my comfortable way. I normally do not tend to have issues with UI changes, but reddit was extremely comfortable in that mode. I will however try my best to get used to this, as I'd do anything to avoid Reddit from now on.

Digging it so far. The only thing that I have noticed, and this may just be due to the large influx of people coming to the site, it's been taking literal minutes for me to submit a post or edit my profile

Pretty cool to see. I'm excited to see it grow. I'm pretty adamant about Mastodon being a great platform and seeing other decentralized platforms grow is awesome. I wanted to know how I can see a list of instances, or if anyone has any recommendations? I know myself and a lot of others likely joined the largest instances first, but I don't want to add onto an already stressed server.
I've stumbled upon this Github repo listing Lemmy instances and their differences

How is the federation supposed to work regarding logins? I made my initial account on lemmy.world but I'm unable to login and subscribe to communities on other federated servers. I presumed the primary server I setup on would allow me to subscribe and comment on communities on other servers?

Honestly struggling a bit. Finding the communities for my interests was very easy on Reddit, kinda having a hard time here.
Hey! You should totally create those communities by yourself, takes less than 5 seconds!! (Via the website though -- sadly the apps don't yet have that functionality...but will soon)
For example, I created [email protected], since there's no Beatles community here. Never modded any subreddit in my life, so it's a first for me.
I'm soon gonna make a list of maybe 8-10 communities I like and create them over here. Then I'll post links to them on the corresponding subreddits.
I don't plan to actually mod them actively, so I'll pass the modding powers to others if/when the communities get a good number of followers.
You could do the same, it's like being Johnny Appleseed!
I thought about creating them but I figured someone already did and I don't want to fracture the community. Someone already created a boardgames community in a German server (content seems to be English), is it best to jump in there and add some content or create a new English community? No clue.

Jerboa kinda sucks and Lemmur straight up doesn't let you sign in.
A lot of communities are unfortunately missing, the Lemmy devs should do a better job of advertising the platform to Reddit expats so we can have more content.
I'm hoping some third party Reddit apps rewrite themselves to support a Lemmy backend.
Jerboa seems pretty good as an app in is infancy thrown together quickly to address the sudden need. It does lack the maturity and stone features Reddit 3rd party apps had (I was partial to Boost and Relay myself) but it's pretty usable and given time I think it'll get even better. Also add Lemmy and Kbin reach critical mass we may see more apps soon.
Indeed, considering how young it is, it's a good start.
Definitely needs a way to look at inbox comments in the context of the thread, right now I need to go to the thread and scroll to find my comment and its reply.
I think that exists already, click the little link looking icon to the right of downvote when looking at the reply in inbox and it permalink to the reply.

Glad to see an alternative is gaining traction! The inversed colours for up and downvotes will take some getting used to!
To double-check that I understand Lemmy correctly: the equivalent to a subreddit is a server, right? So within lemmy.world there arenβt necessarily subforums/topics/subreddits.
Thanks for having us! I'm excited to try this out. I am only just trying to figure out how all of this works.
I have subscribed to several communities now, but when I go to the main page, I still see the generic content that was there before I logged in. How do I view a feed of just the communities I have subscribed to (analogous to the front page on reddit)
There should be a button to view subscribed communities at the top along with local instance communities and all known communities. You can change the default in the settings.

I'm waiting for some new communities to pop up, but the layout is good.

Iβm loving Beehaw! And itβs super cool that we can all interact across servers and communities.
I think this has a lot of potential, I mean Iβm already using it a ton. The only thing missing imo is more niche communities, but those will come along as the user base grows.
Go make them! :)
I know lol it just seems really daunting. And idk if the userbase is even large enough to support what I'd personally want. It'd probably be just me.
But regardless, I'd love a community like the NatureIsLit subreddit, or even AIDKE (animals I didn't know existed).

On Reddit you have your home page or start page that shows combined content from all of your subscribed subreddits and nothing else... how do I get to something like that here, or isn't there anything like that here?
On the main page you can toggle the Subscribed | Local | All thing to get different feeds. You can set the default in your settings.

got into reddit fully just a few years ago. it was my go-to for silly frog pictures to cheer me up. any other instances (i hope i'm saying that right, something similar to a subreddit) that are frog related? i'd love to contribute some :)

I have finally managed to create an account, so do we have CSS like original reddit? Other then that lemmy seems pretty cool
It doesn't look like we have the same css feature yet, but you can start your own lemmy instance just to host your community and customize the hell out of it.
