For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?
I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?
I'm a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It's definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it's great to see something that isn't Reddit growing in popularity!
Your username in the fediverse is not honorfaz, but @honorfaz@kbin.social, just as an email. It's the same for communities (or sublemmy, or whatever we decide to call it). It's not c/something, but! c/something@instance.com. This is why everyone still has a unique handle, but no unique admin.
I'm on my own instance for example, running in my living room, and yet here we are, talking. Internet as it was intented.
@primalmotion so... the lemmy.antisocial.ly part of your username is your own instance that you made. And I can ping you or reply to you by writing it as @primalmotion. Interesting. My log in credentials for kbin.social will not transfer to another instance like lemmy.world, though, will it?
I just realized I also pinged a bunch of other people in this reply chain, didn't notice it had automatically put all the usernames in at the bottom. Wonder if there's a way to disable that, seems unnecessary.
I don't think that's possible since each instance is kind of a silo from each other with regard to your activity on that specific instance, even if you post on other instances.. Like since you made a comment/post on one instance that activity stays on that instance.
That depends. I think the migration process is part of ActivityPub and would need to be implemented in lemmy. With mastodon, you can move from instance to instance almost transparently.
