Now lets look at Beehaw's technology community from lemmy.world:

On the one hand, this is not blocking 100% of the content from this community, which seems consistent with what I originally thought. Lemmy.world is not defederated with beehaw, so lemmy.world can see new content from Beehaw's communities.

But on the other hand, there is a ton of content missing. And it's not just federated content taking awhile to move from instance to instance, as I'm seeing posts from the last 24 hrs from Kbin that are not showing up on lemmy.world. So it appears that there is content that's being blocked from getting to lemmy.world. But it's not 100% of the content that's being blocked?

To make matters more confusing, I can see content published by Beehaw users on a Beehaw community from lemmy.world. Wtf is going on.

No that's a very valid point!

In a way I'm glad this time around we're building our OWN instead of jumping into another centralized platform. If it happens again, we can just shard off and host out own instance and still follow all our favorite communities etc ....

How are you handling communities of the same name that spring up on different instances?

Using Lemmy. How do I add say a porn sub to my list? I’m so confused

I been trying to search and finally found lemmynsfw.com/c/gaybrosgonewild but I can’t add it anywhere. I searched but nothing pops up. And can’t find a place to subscribe. I’m looking to subscribe to it and have it pop up on my feed but I can’t seem to figure out how. It’s rather frustrating and if I can’t find a...

Follow the link from the LinkFixerBot so it’ll load that community whilst keeping you logged in on your instance, and you’ll see a big “Subscribe” button.

Your instance is defederated from lemmynsfw.com (scroll down to the bottom to see instances they are defederated from) so you won’t see any contant after they defederated. You might want to create a different account just to browse NFSW communities on instance like lemmynsfw.com.

PSA regarding federation (copied from previous comment)

I also want to continue spreading the word about federation issues. I've been on Lemmy for a month now and it's going great. But that whole time, it's essentially been impossible to comment on kbin magazines. The comments simply don't show up. I'm not seeing most of your comments when browsing here from Lemmy, but I am seeing Lemmy comments.

I obviously have this account, but its annoying to keep switching between accounts, plus I haven't really gotten the hang of the kbin interface yet.

Point being, I suspect much of the sluggishness of organic growth is not due to a small userbase, but rather due to the fact nobody can actually find the threads and comment on them efficiently. We need to remain steadfast and trust that the developers will fix this stuff up soon. I really feel that simply making Lemmy and kbin federate perfectly would immediately make this platform 10 times more active. We have plenty of people but right now we are fragmented into parallel communities. This isn't even getting into the server overload at a number of Lemmy instances.

I just don't want people to write off the platform before we can see how it's actually meant to work. I've seen a ton of brilliant comments on kbin and I haven't even had the chance to really mix it up with you guys yet.

Here was the Lemmy post about this story that somebody actually posted here a couple days before this thread. But it doesn't show up here and none of you can see it.

I really don't want people to get discouraged by this bug because it's very disconcerting when you make a high value comment or post and the response is crickets. Its not because the platform is empty, it's because federation is fucked and your post is invisible to everyone not on your local server.

This is a how to use Lemmy question so better suited for one of the support communities - check out the sidebar for suggestions.

With that said, helping people spread out onto different instances is good stuff so I think this is good info to leave up.

GregorGizeh, to asklemmy in Is it possible to migrate my account to another instance?

You will need to make a new one.

Personally I recently did the same because lemmy.world didn’t commit to defederating meta and I didn’t want to stay there, but I am not very happy on .ml either, I get an insane amount of tankie crap on the all feed now and apparently no more nsfw posts.

I’m an anti capitalist myself but I strongly oppose the idea that someone preselects what communities are visible to me, on .world it felt much more organic and well rounded.

Ultimately I will just have to make my own instance i suppose.

GoodEye8, to asklemmy in What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?

To make the ex metaphor. Talking shit about your ex is not productive but talking about what was wrong or didn’t work can be very insightful. Entirely blocking your ex out of your mind is a pretty easy way to make the same mistakes again.

I can see why people think it’s annoying but I think this is also a good thing. Talking about this helps people understand what they want to see in their communities or instances.

Mateng, to asklemmy in Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already?
@Mateng@kbin.social avatar

I'm a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:

/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse

There are probably more... If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.

blendedracer, to asklemmy in What's the best way to find instances and communities?
@blendedracer@aussie.zone avatar

Hello fellow Redditugee, I found Lemmy Explorer https://lemmyverse.net/communities to be very handy. I like the layout and the search/sort capability. The process I followed to subscribe to communities was to:

  • In Lemmy Explorer, click on the community@instance name (eg !maliciouscompliance), which automagically copies it to the clipboard.
  • Then in my home instance (aussie.zone) I clicked on the search icon (magnifying glass) and pasted the details into the search box.
  • I then click Next (not search).
  • The search will initially show “No Result” while it searched the Fediverse, but then the community will show up (I’m using dark mode so it shows up in green as a link).
  • I click on the link to open the community from my home instance and click on the subscribe button. Initially the community may be set to “Subscribe Pending” - I guess it needs to be reviewed. I’ve also managed to subscribe to Kbin magazines from Lemmy using this process. Note: this is on PC using Firefox

There are many helpful bots, like the one that corrects community links to be instance-neutral.

How are new communities created on Lemmy?

There absence of a few subreddits here in lemmy world are making my experience somewhat incomplete. I was really into r/noiserock on reddit and would like to help re-create that community. It does not seem as straight forward though. Am I only allowed to create communities on my instance? I guess, in general, how are new...

DRUMS_, to asklemmy in How are new communities created on Lemmy?

Ok, thanks. My instance is reddthat.com (relatively small I believe) and I don’t think I see a way to create a community. I will reach out to the instance admin and see if that is currently by design.

laenurd, to asklemmy in How many accounts do you have, and how do you manage them?
@laenurd@lemmy.lemist.de avatar

Yes. You can use the search function for that, just search for “community@instance”, so for example “worldnews@lemmy.world”.

Linking to communities from other instances works similarly, using a “!”: !worldnews

You can also append this type of address to your instance url like so:

lemmy.ml/c/worldnews@lemmy.world

As long as another instance is not explicitly defederated (blocked) from yours, you can visit any community from any instance this way.

Zectivi, to asklemmy in Can we talk about porn on Lemmy?

I think I’ve been seeing those posts and communities on the lemmynsfw.com instance.

InEnduringGrowStrong, to asklemmy in Can we talk about porn on Lemmy?
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

/all isn’t really all the fediverse though, it’s “all” from communities at least one user on your home instance has subscribed to.
If no one ever subbed or browsed there from your instance, it won’t show in /all.
It’s plausible some instances have different amounts of porn in their /all feed.

luthis, to newcommunities in [META] [Crosspost] Announcing a new Search Engine for Lemmy

Should be able to search all instances. If you know what instance your community is on, then you’ve already found it so… why search?

What are some of the most federated Lemmy instances?

I chose my instance 9 or so months ago purely because it was suggested by the Jerboa app at the time. In lieu of making numerous accounts to access communities that aren’t federated with my instance, I was hoping to make a second account with a very “federated” instance. Any suggestions?...
