Are you using any lemmy app right now? I’d recommend trying jerboa, atleast till the sync/boost apps are here in a few weeks. You can try to use the search function to find communities/subreddit.

You can think of an instance as a new reddit. So for eg, you can host a reddit called caboose and I can host one with my name. You can have your rules on what’s allowed on your instance. In addition, we can create a “subreddit” called memes on both our instances. You probably want to join the one with the most users. Assuming the meme community on the caboose instance has more users, I’d just join that. Once it reaches critical mass, that’ll become the default memes community on the fediverse! The people on my instance of reddit would just use the memes community on your instance since it’s all interlinked.

To start, I would suggest browsing via all. Joining communities with high user engagement for now. The niche communities will take time to migrate. In addition, when you search for a community, join the one which has the most users.

Think I did ok, but does it really matter when I can just create my own instance and choose whatever username I want?

Man that’s such a good feeling. But for me it never lasts too long haha. I guess that’s what you get for buying a 100$ printer and ship of theseusing it.

A surprising new type of vehicle - a bicycle! What a low effort article.

Eh I don’t know if I agree with that line of thinking. The issue with VAR is that even after taking so long, the decisions aren’t much better. If we have the technology to take better decisions, I believe we should be using it.

Even with VAR, I believe we are better off now that we were before. The most frustrating part of a sport is having the referee decide a pivotal moment in a game and VAR aims to reduce that at the cost of some extra time. I hope in a couple years. The technology will get better too.

Man I really want to learn the piano but the community sometimes feels so gatekeepy. So many people will tell you if you don’t start off with a dedicated piano teacher, you won’t have the right foundational principles and you’ll be forever shit. I just dont have the time to commit to a schedule and regular piano lessons.

Love your comment bout getting better, not good. Maybe I shold just dive in and see where it takes me.

I feel you man. It has to be 88 weighted keys otherwise it’s shit. 500 for the piano and $100 per lesson is what you’re supposed to spend. Put me off it, I bought a Ukulele instead haha.

I don’t think so, but when you’re told that it’s a little intimidating to start.

Just a note, lemmy does have a karma system. The default UI doesn’t show this but I believe apps like wefwef/memmy expose this data.
