In the meantime we can try to be helpful when possible!

iphone@lemmy.ml

And if your instance needs to search for the full url still: https://lemmy.ml/c/iphone

Yeah, but we can help out in the meantime!

iphone@lemmy.ml

And if you need the full url for your instance’s search: https://lemmy.ml/c/iphone

It’s a little jank. There is https://browse.feddit.de/ to help you find communities though!

Welcome!

People know what they’re doing?

Sometimes understanding how to cross instances can still be a bit cumbersome though.

There is pretty cool support for relative links though! As long as your instance knows of a community, they’ll work.

• [gaming@beehaw.org](/c/gaming@beehaw.org)
• gaming@beehaw.org

And if your instance doesn’t know a certain instance exists, you just have to paste the url into your search bar to get it working: https://beehaw.org/c/gaming

I know that feeling! Like there’s not enough space to properly contextualize what you’re doing!

I think that instance is more a proof of concept, but you might be able to sign up still. The person behind it has made it available for anyone to use and I’m pretty sure if you’re on an instance that uses it then all of lemmy will be in the same style!

No worries! Finding information about communities and whatnot can be a process of just stumbling upon the right comment

I remember in like… 2009? and maybe for a few years after. Someone started that christmas tradition where they would just open a shared drive and people dumped tons of stuff into it.

I believe it is!

There are a few places with more complete information of every instance. I have this one on hand:

You should take a look at this instance: https://fedibb.ml/

In the age of endless uploads everywhere, we all forgot that hosting large files for many people is not always easy!

I think of those early 00 stories in the time before we called content creators, content creators. Too many people visiting their self hosted videos was a bad thing that would end up costing more money than they made!

I wonder if pdub ever did his homework?

Each instance is pretty customizable. Admins can disable things like image uploads and with so many people joining I could see why. Hosting all that could easily get expensive!

There are a ton of twitter bots that do exactly this already. I’ve seen a few mastodon bots do the same so I imagine it’s possible with lemmy as well.

At worst, you could just set it up on mastodon and then have them automatically post to lemmy.

If Yishan is on twitter I hope he responds too

It felt a bit off at first to not have the top comments all be the ones with the most votes, but I like how it works on lemmy after spending time here.

You can join an old thread and not feel like it’s pointless to add to the discussion!

Aaah! So more like twitter or masto. I guess that could be useful for something?

There’s nothing really stopping people from creating an non-federalized instance that would essentially be an old school forum. There was a pretty crazy lemmy frontend thing I saw that brings it all full circle too.
