Except behaw sniped connection to some servers
Most servers do. Even Lemmy.World defederized from those tankie servers.
Imo that’s the beauty of how all of this works. If you’re on Beehaw and don’t like how they’re doing things, you can leave and go to another server without issue. It’s not like Reddit where you’re just sol.
Is there a tool to sync account’s community subscription? It takes time to re-subscribe to all the communities of interest so it’s not so trivial to migrate instance
https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate calls itself “migrate”, but judging from a quick glance at the code it takes one primary account and adds all the subscriptions the primary has, but the secondary doesn’t, to any number of secondary accounts.
So it’s really a one-directional sync without deleting.
If you were using Apollo you could export a list of your subreddit s and import it to wefwef.app (currently the best client for mobile)
It’ll still take you time to migrate over, but in the end it will be worth it. Remember, with Lemmy YOU do the organization - there could be multiple instances with your favorite subreddit, it’s up to you to pick what you want.
Don’t blindly consume content, be picky.
I’m new to all of this, but my understanding is they defederated with lemmy.world as well. Would this impact them negatively in the long run considering this instance has such a large user base?
Yes and no. It might hurt their potential userbase, but beehaw also is about quality over quantity, and these moves are an effort to enfore that policy.
Overall Id say its about even.
This is good, but misses a glaring issue/confusion that you can have an “aww” community on each server which are totally unrelated.
How do usernames work? Can the same username be claimed multiple times (via registering on multiple instances)?
I don’t see why not… It’s like registering jack@gmail.com and jack@hotmail.com… Same name but not really
You can have a display name different from your username (just learning all this myself). Then you can use the same account across instances with different display names or vice-versa.
Love the usenet-ish federation. Now if only we had federated killfiles linked to our accounts. It’d be cool to raise/lower scores privately to bubble things up you care about and kill what you don’t.
Technically you only need to register in one instance and can interact across lemmy and kbin instances, but you can register the same username in various instances in case of defederation. Lemm.ee federates with all and all instances federate with it for example, beehaw.org doesn’t allow signups and has defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
And now to blow everybody’s minds, by visualizing that lemmy, mastodon and most other federated services are also inter-connected and can interact with one another.
See, I keep seeing people say that the federated services can interact with each other but I have yet to understand what that means. I have a lemmy and a mastodon account but I can’t figure out how they’re supposed to connect.
This right here is my question as well. Currently I have created an account and login for Lemmy, Kbin (because there were some instances I couldn’t see from Lemmy even though my native instance isn’t being blocked or blocking any others), and Mastodon. Do I need a minimum of a Lemmy and Mastodon account to access everything or will one work across all the fediverse?
You don’t need different accounts. I have an account in Mastodon where I follow a community from Lemmy for example.
The thing is you have to manually search and follow communities and people from other services.
So if you go to Mastodon search bar and type “@linux@lemmy.ml” for example, it will show you the community content as a Mastodon profile and you can follow it and see the posts on your timeline.
Yep same thing happening here. I don’t think it happened when i was at jerboa.
I think you can find the community from the server u are logged in (using the search thing) then finding the post there. This whole thing is still gibberish to me tbh.
How come when I try to comment or upvote on a post from another instance it says I am not logged in.
As an example, OP was cross-posted from https://vlemmy.net/post/388759. This post lives in the community https://vlemmy.net/c/chat.
An equivalent to the URL https://vlemmy.net/c/chat is https://vlemmy.net/c/chat@vlemmy.net (‘/c/chat’ as seen from ‘vlemmy.net’). If you have no account on vlemmy.net, these pages will display you logged out.
If your account lives on feddit.de, you can visit the same community while being logged in, using https://feddit.de/c/chat@vlemmy.net
Similar to reddit’s /r/syntax, you can do this: /c/chat@vlemmy.net. This will visit the community @ that instance, but while being logged in to your https:// home instance.
TLDR: Whenever you appear logged out, make sure your URL starts like this: https:// home instance
