People need to realize you can use alternatives
Hello from lemmy.world! Don't come here, I think it's starting to get overloaded too. Lemmy.one looks like it may be in a good "growing but not snowballing yet" position, go over there and get that ball rolling.
Hello from tchncs.de!!
Hello, kumpel.
Totally didn't see the .de at the end lol. I don't even speak German! >.<
Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.
I tried subscribing to a specific feddit.de community using Jerboa and I haven't been able to yet. Not sure whether I'm misunderstanding something or whether that's not possible.
Jerboa doesn't let you create an account. Just do that step on the web first.
I joined lemmy.world and it took 2 minutes.
I have an account and I'm logged in. I'm posting this from Jerboa. But it's not a feddit.de account. Maybe I'm missing something.
Jerboa search only finds communities that at least 1 person on your instance subscribed to, to find new communities from other instances easily I like to use https://browse.feddit.de/
Then when you find a community, go to the web version of your instance (don't worry it's (mostly) mobile friendly) and type !name@instan.ce (don't forget the !) Then you can subscribe there. Close and reopen Jerboa and your new community will show up in the list. The Jerboa devs are working on fixing this.
I was advised by a redditor to join '.word' because ml was overwhelmed
Not really sure what the difference is tbh. I'm here interacting with an ml community so why not?
I'd like to know if I can make my own subreddit equivalent though?
Whaaat there are alternatives?
I just don't get why every other reasonably big alternative bans lemmygrad.
Redditors and their eternal addiction to echo chambers.
Also Hexbear >
Sopuli.xyz has been a reliable instance :)
