At some point you’re just so tired that comfort and time is much less of a factor, I mean I feel like I can fall asleep anyti

Holy shit you’re right. I feel like I just grew a brain cell

Lol what do you even do in this situation? I don’t even know what I did wrong, just trying to connect

OUT. SIIIIIIIIDE!

It’s always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this. Interlinked.

I think it’s okay if there’s a service charge, but it should be obvious like this and tipping afterwards shouldn’t even be brought up. It’s not the best solution for everyone but it’s a step in the right direction of no fucking tipping

Yes. Like you said, it’s not a bad thing, but I do miss the energy younger people bring.

Wow, this is crucial reading. Previously I was basing my dislike for Threads federation because Meta but this has refined my overall stand greatly. Thanks for this.

Reddit preaches democracy but suddenly when this same democracy votes to focus on John Oliver content, they threaten to take control.

From “redit is 4 evry1 guise lets be demcratic” to no, not like that. Fuck it I’m taking this shit "

What a disaster man

I hope we see more donations. I for one will for sure make a few over time

You just described my entire journey for my first two days on Lemmy

Next month, I would have been on Reddit for 12 years. I’m with you here man, hope to see your community thrive smoothly

This is the only one I know of at the moment, though I’m still relatively new as well so there might be a better link for a list of instances and their sizes. Based on some posts I’ve read here, lemmy.ml has the most users, with lemmy.world at about half of lemmy.ml’s and beehaw.org at about a third.

Also, yeah, I think we’re on the same boat when it comes to why different communities are spread out. From what I’ve observed, “duplicate” communities in separate instances seem to all have their own “flavor” of that particular community. Taking the meme communities as an example, sh.itjust.works’ memes have a bit of a French-Canadian flare to them, lemmygrad.ml’s memes are made with a hammer and sickle, lemmy.world has more of that “general everyday memes” feel, etc.

On Reddit, it used to be r/memes -> r/<specific theme here>memes, but here it seems like it’s the opposite, like c/<instance-specific theme here> -> c/memes. It’s like having pizza in New York vs Italy – they’re both pizza but each country has its own twist to it.

I subbed to your community btw as I love me some Paramore myself. Hope to see everything work out easily for your community!

I thought of it this way too and I think as long as people can get the gist we should be all good, though for me personally I prefer using the planet analogy considering all of these platforms are on the Fedi-universe, and trying out different platforms like Mastodon feels like it’s “on a whole other planet” as a less tech-savvy person

I was a bit confused about the place at first too. Here’s a comment I copy-pasted from a previous post of mine:

My friend gave me a great explanation:

• Lemmy the platform is planet Earth

• “Instances” like lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc. are like the different countries on Earth

• When someone signs up, the user picks one instance to be a part of, like how an Earthling becomes a citizen of a country

• If you register at lemmy.world, that means your home instance/ “home country” is lemmy.world, but you can “travel” to lemmy.ml, another instance / “country”, to check out and subscribe to their community

• When you subscribe to a different instance that’s not your home instance, you can still participate in their content, and other people will be able to see which instance / “country” you’re from

• Each instance can have its own version of the same “subreddit”, so you can have a c/Memes in your home instance that is different from a c/Memes in another instance. But you can subscribe to both separately

• c/[community name] is the naming convention used here I think like r/[subreddit name] on Reddit. If talking about a community in a different instance, it’s c/[community name]@[instance name] so like c/memes@lemmy.ml

• Donations will help with the cost of running lemmy.world only and not lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc.

Someone please correct any of this if any of it is wrong, I’ll happily edit

Hope it helps even a little

Welp, tbh the dude is a pro at making a molehill out of a mountain
