I just spent a little time today creating my Lemmy.world account and trying to find equivalents of my favorite subs from Reddit. I really question whether Reddit will survive the uprising that has spawned. I think the IPO is going to go very poorly, then Reddit will turn into some commercial mess. This is my first Lemmy post, BTW!

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?

It's pretty confusing to find a community on another website, then search for it on here a specific way, then you can subscribe and post once it comes up. It's not too bad once I got used to it though. New users basically will need to be given the name of this website and how to find existing communities on other websites and post there. That's 2 things that need to be simple to have this grow.

Why is the header image a red car parked beside a rock? Are we supposed to ignore the car, and focus on the distant, tree covered mountains?

So...I guess this is a chance for a fresh start then.

Not really sure what kind of things I'll get up to on this site, but as they say, the sky's the limit

Good, glad to be here!

I'm enjoying it so far. Still getting my feet wet and trying to get more comfortable with posting regularly. Reddit made it kinda hard to do so in some subs so this is new to me.

Not sure if I Digg this place yet, but will give it a try for sure.

It's a lot different from reddit but I'm getting used to it and loving it more and more. Also this is a test comment

I’ve just been trying to get used to the website, but I’m liking it here

Hello! Looks nice, I realize it will probably take some time to get used to, but I hope the community will grow. I mod a sub on Reddit and we are thinking about a blackout in protest, in any case it would be cool to set up shop here in the fediverse :)

The Jerboa app though could use with some improvements to navigate the different communities.

Echoing what everyone else is saying. The fact that there's servers that can access each other is kinda breaking my brain right now, but I'm also excited for the reddit -> lemmy migration and looking forward to seeing this place grow.

I love the fesiverse. The apps are still a bit buggy and lack in terms of customization. (Maybe some reddit apps can be adapted to work with lemmy, jerbora just doesn't compare to sync) Since reddit also blocks api access to nsfw subreddits I kind of hope that we'll get a nsfw lemmy instance someday.

It seems intuitive coming from Reddit. I’m excited to explore all the communities and see what’s going on

I'm still learning the ropes here, been here for only a few hours now but I already started to like it

Thanks for having us!

Really good.I'm always had an interest in federation and the potential that brings going forwards, so seeing the site grow is an amazing prospect. I got a bunch sub's setup over on Lemmy.ml but I dunno if I should mirror em here or if it won't be necessary.

Really liking it!!!! Joined a instance or 2 so getting used to everything!
