It was confusing at first

It gets more confusing when the instance you joined decides to unfederate and half of your subs stop working! Then you have to join a new instance and start over because subs nor usernames carry over.

Do you have a grasp of the fediverse now?

It was confusing at first

The confusion never went away. Beehaw defederated, so I understand that you would then have to create a specific Beehaw account in order to engage with Beehaw communities, but why would I want to as a Lemmy.world user, is what I'm confused about.

I have like three now, because it wasn't clear that that wasn't required. I think I'm getting it more now, but it's taking a bit to get there.

As of now I have an account on lemmy.world and kbin.social

I have no idea whats going on

Nope, still confusing

i need a tutorial

And this is why you roll your own instance just for auth

Reminds me of the good old days creating a different identity for each forum I signed up at.

I hope this place gets better with time.

So, I’ve a question. Is there a back button?
I’ll select something from my feed, but then get stuck having to then go all the way back and scroll all the way back down to where I left off.

I will stick to only one account. Too much accounts are pain.

Lol. I can barely figure out one.

Lmao I did this, but for Mastodon. Mastodon kinda helped me to understand the concept a better

If you have an account at one instance, you can see everything from all of the instances that are federated with that instance. If there is another instance that is not federated with the 1st instance, then you have to make an account there to see anything there

New here, does it mean my username propagated to other instances?

It started to click in my head today and then once all the defederation talk started I am confused again

I have 2 with the idea that if my home instance went down I’d still be able to see what’s going on. Not that I’m concerned about a mass failure, more for like server maintenance downtimes.

I have no idea what’s going on myself honestly lol. I just made a Kbin account so I can see and comment on this thread even though it’s a thread that came from lemmy it looks like considering it states (lemmy.world). I’m confused why I’m seeing this thread. Was it shared to the Kbin server? And why can’t I comment and upvote posts on lemmy.one for example? Shouldn’t I be able to due to everything being connected in the fediverse?

Personally. Attacked.

I still don't get it lmao

I made an account with kbin because the interface most resembles reddit, but apparently that means I have a lemmy account or something?

I made an account on feddit.de and I'm not even German (learning to be, though)

@Lemmyin Takes about 1 day and then you are a pro. I have a mastodon account and lemmy account. and i'm satisified. just downloaded ivory for my iphone for mastodon

¿Confuso? No... más bien un mini reto descubrir nuevas posibilidades exponenciales. Simple.

Lol my first account was on Lemmy.film O.o

Yeah, it took me some time to wrap my head around this when I started getting into Mastodon. Thankfully it became intuitive pretty quick.

mmm... pretty relatable....

This is so true

Hilarious

Will one account work on all the instances?

Do any of you guys and gals know how to best check with which instances my account instance federates? I see https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ but omg I am not able to run this page on my PC :D
