Boost stopped working a couple days ago so I'm now fully on Lemmy. Can somebody help me understand how this works?
So the subreddit made a .chat instance (which my boost for Lemmy app does not open in app), and these are the two mirrors for that one instance? But I feel my assumption is off because they have different posts.
what is it that you want explained?
Excellent, thank you. The last time I used the Lemmy was when the Reddit API stuff was happening, so I didn't know the specifics. I appreciate your patience in explaining this.
I knew I could link to other instances and see their posts, but I didn't know that they needed a longer name.
As an aside, am I fine overall being part of a relatively small instance, or as an average user who wants a replacement for Reddit, am I better off having my account located on one of the larger instances?
Like if Lemmy.zip is too small and eventually shuts down, do I just lose my account?
Lemmy.zip is a great instance. I mean, look at this report: https://lemmy.zip/post/33065677
And they do this every month!
Awesome, thanks for the reassurance.
there's nothing at all wrong with a small instance, although afaik if your instance goes offline your account is lost. I haven't been active much between the api thing and recently, so it's possible they implemented the much asked-for account migration feature in the intervening years.
Can't you open this link in the app? !general@50501.chat
If not there is this one: https://lemmy.zip/c/general@50501.chat
So "general" is the general discussion space from the Lemmy server.
!Mirror@50501.chat mirrors chats from the subreddit
Yes, those links did work, and thank you for explaining what mirror did. I just haven't used lemmy in a while and didn't understand the specifics, another user went into detail to my benefit.
No worries, feel free if you have any questions!
your links and in @Irelephant@lemm.ee comment doesn't work on Interstellar app. guess I have to pass my finding to the dev.
BTW there is a Boost for Lemmy. It's exactly the same as using the Boost for reddit
Yeah I should have clarified Boost for Reddit stopped working, I already had boost for Lemmy since the API stuff.
