Hey, thanks for setting this nice little server up.
Just wondering if it is just me or that most non-local communities seem to have no replies / votes, but when viewed from their home instance I can see them. Is this because viewing comments and votes across instances is not yet possible?
I say most non-local communities because the posts on the All page seem to work fine, but when I want to check a non-local niche community it looks dead - even though there is activity that's viewable from their instance.
As far as I'm aware, posts (and I guess replies) only start being received when at least one person is subscribed to it. So if it's a community you are interested in and you subscribe, pawb.social should start receiving all comments and replies from that point on.
You can also put a direct link to a thread (but not a comment) in the search box, and it will be fetched if it is not already available.
Giving this a shot, hi all. :)
Howdy all! Happy to be here :D
Heyo!
Thanks for hosting this! Is it worth creating an account on Mastodon too? Still trying to wrap my head around the whole fediverse thing.
I’d say so, they do serve different purposes and it isn’t yet possible to follow Mastodon accounts from Lemmy.
Mastodon is to Twitter, as Lemmy is to Reddit. :3
Ah gotcha. Have to admit I hadn't actually looked into Mastodon until now, just assumed it was the same concept as lemmy and kbin. But yeah it's essentially Twitter, UI-wise at least. Never been much of a Twitter user myself though
I find they have different use cases. Masto is really good for more immediate conversion, especially with the really responsive home feed.
Not my thing (Reddit refugee turned lemmy host here), but it definitely has its place!
Howdy doo little gay people on my computer
Henlo Lemmy ^-^
I'm a Reddit Refugee who's been exploring federated social media after the recent chaos on corporate sites. Slowly learning all of the jargon for how all this works, but it looks like a neat concept that will foster a nice cozy community :3
I wish the cozy community was the biggest reason for my involvement, but honestly the feeling of having hundreds of people using the server hardware I tinker with is really exciting!
I handle the local hardware and crashdoom handles the software. Honestly he does the hard part IMO.
I'm glad to be here on a furry instance!
Heyyyy! Thanks for firing this up. Looking forward to seeing if this takes off. I like what I see so far. :)
This is pretty cool. I should suggest Lemmy to the cryptography nerds I hang out with :3
