I find it is nice to just join a server you enjoy at its core and then simply use the "all" sort of thing. I can see from other servers what is popular and can comment and upvote and downvote. It's all very seamless even if I am not in that home server

I don't think I spent more than 10 minutes total in /r/all in my 12 years of Reddit, so it's quite nice to browse all here and not be bombarded with rubbish.

feddit.it 🙋‍♂️

That looks like a missed opportunity to me not using fedd.it :-)

Well, hello from feddit.de! Since I'm a german user I thought it'd be only logical to register on a german instance. While new registrations are semi-locked, the criteria for being let in are quite easy to pass and they are mostly in place to filter out spam. Got my account approved right on the next day

I just hope it lasts, worst thing would be if people just went back to reddit

Proudly burdening sh.itjust.works instead of lemmy.ml!

[–] necrxfagivs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago (8 children)

I created my account at sh.itjust.works but I don't fully understand Lemmy yet. Finding communities seems confusing.

Join us over in beehaw, it's super chill and welcoming

[–] misnina@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

I tried to start a kbin instance today and I literally ended up corrupting or deleting debian off the VPS.

So look I'm tryin' but uh...give me a little time.

New user, signed up on an alternative. It isn't intuitive to add a community from another server. Got there eventually though!

I'm so sorry, I haven't seen the pinned post before registering. Maybe add notice to registration page?

[–] floppyslapper@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I think people naturally tend toward the servers of the people that started the project and also the servers that have the most people on them. As the federated technology continues to smooth out I think more people might be more comfortable spreading out to other servers.

Personally I started out on the Beehaw server but they had some rules I didn't like so then I found another server.

Beehaw.org says

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF IT. THERE'S WORSE SHIT ON THE LOCAL NEWS.
