users can move between them freely
but… they really cant though can they? atm, every community on beehaw just lost a massive chunk of their userbase, and they can’t even move to a diff instance. Masto allows you to automatically move your followers to a new account on a new instance, but there just isn’t that option on Lemmy
This got flagged as “erotic content”
Ah yes, the c
Fit that you can’t look at for too long
Never moderated anything before, how much of a time commitment is it usually?
You can copy the link to the other community in full (something like instance.url/c/community_name) and go back to your community and go into the search menu. Paste the link in and you’ll see the community in the search results. Click that link and you can subscribe
You can but it might be a little unstable. Post from mastodon and mention @community@instance.url to make a post
It’s gonna take a while for the chaos of everyone migrating from Reddit to die down and for the place to become useable.
Also, Lemmy seems to have the same annoying friction Masto has where it’s too easy to get redirected to another instance’s webpage. You suddenly can’t comment, like, or basically do anything and it’s not immediately obvious why.
Once again suggesting federated social media start using a centralized frontend on one single website and just let the servers themselves be federated. You would go to the same one website, ex lemmy.com and log into your chosen instance, staying logged in even if you visit another instance.
Clicking a link should first check if the link is to another lemmy instance, and if it is it should attempt to open that post while remaining in this instance.
I think if you use Lemmy (and mastodon and other fedi platforms) through a client you can avoid this issue. I use Tusky and Pinafore for mastodon, but haven’t found a good one yet for lemmy
