Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

(Reminder: if you have shared the original version in a public post with an old version up, replacing it with this one might be more helpful.)

I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement.

Feel free to share this poster as you wish, especially on Reddit. All I ask is that you respect the license and don’t remove my socials at the bottom. If anyone’s addition is included, I’ll credit them, and if this gets added onto (or translated) by someone else later, they can add their info as well.

I hope someone can find it useful with the subreddit blackouts right around the corner.

I want to thank the Beehaw admins so much for their amazing work!

(Poster edited; I spotted a duplicated word, mrmanager@lemmy.today noted the lack of whitespace; current version is slightly larger and has been spaced out. You can still request the 800x2000 size, but know it is a little squished.)

(Edit 2: Removed defederation part as it’s not really required. The email analogy blackcoffee@beehaw.org suggested has been added, thanks!)

(Edit 3: Here’s another version making the interconnectivity a bit clearer and mentioning some cool-looking reader apps that have been suggested! Also made the image slightly longer for ease of viewing. I might do some small cosmetic changes tomorrow)

(I’ll put out Edit 4 tomorrow, which will include the date the edit was made, will clarify mlem only being available through TestFlight, will mention other Kbin instances, as well as a reminder to confirm emails with any new signup in a timely fashion. Thank you all for the help and tips!)

Thank you! Super helpful

This is awesome, thank you for making this. Trying to get friends and family to move platform seems like such a daunting task and I wasn't sure how to put forward the information - feeling much better about it now.

This is great. Does a good job of outlining the important information and making sure that things are approachable for new users. There really should be content like this on join-lemmy.org and similar sites.

Great post. Mind if I repost on subreddits that are open during the blackout?

Learned lot of things, quite new into the fediverse. Is there an equivalent Community like the r/coolguides, that would be the perfect place

I really like this, nice work 🙂

[–] WindInTrees@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (13 children)

Related question for all you experts: if I have an account on both (for example) lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, what is effectively the difference between them if I can view content from any federated instance?

first comment. it took me waaaaaay too long to realize I had to go all the way to the bottom to reply.

@unsunny that link doesn’t appear to work

Why didn't you mention Jebora or the iOS app? People are into apps, makes things easier and quicker. For example, I never would have transfered to Lemmy if it wasn't for Jebora.

Small correction, the app is Jerboa.

I 100% agree, and the existence of a mobile app is the main reason I picked Lemmy over kbin. I also like that the backend is in Rust, vs PHP in kbin, so I'll feel more comfortable contributing since I'm more familiar with that ecosystem. That probably doesn't matter to the average user though, but the app existing certainly does.

Thanks for the info! Been here for a few days but it can still be a little confusing.

[–] B4tid0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Extremely useful & consice! Thanks for the work ~

[–] z3k3lon@lemmy.pt 3 points 2 years ago

Great post, looks awesome.

[–] UnsupervisedScum@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I cant add my account on mlem. I wonder if I am putting in the correct information for homepage.

Question: Why are multiple communities allowed with the same name? Won't that create too much confusion? beehaw.org/c/community is different than lemmy.ml/c/community. Wouldn't it be better that all subs go to a single instance, no matter what the TLD is?

[–] elonspez@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's the point of a fediverse. When lemmy.ml admins go crazy and adopt ridiculous policies, you can simply switch to another instance. If all the subs go into a single instance, then it's just the same as reddit, which is a single point of failure.

Because they are separate communities on separate instances. And despite having the same name can serve highly different purposes. You might start an instance relating to your local city or town. Then if you had a technology sub on that it might be more specifically geared towards talking about technology in your city or town. Others might be more general in topic. But all are just as valid. And you can subscribe to all of them or none of them.

[–] remi_pan@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This sounds great ! So if I take a famous video game as an example (for the sake of the argument, pong). maybe lemmy.world/pong is a global english-speaking community and mylocal.place/pong is the community of players near me (in a localized language). What might be strange is a transition period when you look for the biggest worldwide community, but don't know on which instance to subscribe... Very new user here... I am right ?

[–] 1993_toyota_camry@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Yep. and if you're having trouble searching for a community because nobody else on your local instance is a member of the community yet, you could check a site like this:
