got into reddit fully just a few years ago. it was my go-to for silly frog pictures to cheer me up. any other instances (i hope i'm saying that right, something similar to a subreddit) that are frog related? i'd love to contribute some :)

I like the website. I like the idea. I like lack of advertising and hyper-paranoia and consumer algorithms.
What I don't like is some of the devs describing themselves as 'communists' and 'anarchists.'
Extremism is never a good look, and the fact that Lemmys founders are... Definitely tickling that dragons tail is concerning to me

Pretty good, can someone explain how federation works with Lemmy? Are communities linked?
I'm commenting here from another instance (feddit.de) where I'm logged in and this community is available at https://feddit.de/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
Similarly, you can just access communities from other instances here, e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
but like if there are two Gaming communities on different instances, do they merge? or are they separate?
They are separate. Think of community names like email addresses: john.smith@here.edu is different from john.smith@there.com
Similarly, gaming@lemmy.ml is different from gaming@beehaw.org

is there any advantage of using one instance vs another? I made accounts on both kbin and lemmy.world, is it all the same except whatever UI i prefer?
When i visit some communities in kbin, it tells it the posts might not all be up to date

How do instances decide to defederate other instances popping up in the future? E.g. an NSFW instance is created but I don't want to see any of it when I browse "All".
It's quite laggy (understandably) and I'm having trouble navigating myself, finding communities/topics, finding people to interact with etc. Naturally there will be teething problems early on, and different problems will arise as the reddit exodus increases. Still, I think Lemmy has huge potential.
Check out https://browse.feddit.de/ for finding communities, it's not 100% perfect but it's a good start :)
I tried to do that and it logged me out :-/
Sorry, what exactly did you try to do and what happened? Happy to help I just don't want to go off on a tech support ramble and have it turn out I completely misunderstood the problem :D
I clicked on the link to communities, and it said "you must log in". I stupidly didn't write my (auto-generated) password down and Opera isn't letting me view or c&p my saved passwords. So I had to go back to the home page and refresh to be logged in again.

Is there an easier way to find communities on other instances? I wish I could browse another instance as if it were "local" to organically find more communities.
Pretty cool to see. I'm excited to see it grow. I'm pretty adamant about Mastodon being a great platform and seeing other decentralized platforms grow is awesome. I wanted to know how I can see a list of instances, or if anyone has any recommendations? I know myself and a lot of others likely joined the largest instances first, but I don't want to add onto an already stressed server.
I've stumbled upon this Github repo listing Lemmy instances and their differences

It feels quite right. We need to set up lots of niche communities, but what I miss the most is the user base. It was diverse, and lemmy is known to have an specific user profile. Would be nice to reach out, wear a former redditors badge, and wear it with pride!

I have finally managed to create an account, so do we have CSS like original reddit? Other then that lemmy seems pretty cool

I'm optimistic although I know I probably won't have the same kind of conversations about esports I had on Reddit.
I guess I will have to scout around a bit to see if there are groups for things in local feeds on other lemmy instances that I can't see here? Rather than re-inventing the wheel?
