    Sorry for an unrelated question, but I have a doubt about instances. If I have this username and email for lemmy.world, can I use the same username and email for another instance? When I tried creating an account with these credentials on kbin.social, it didn’t work and said those values were taken.




  • Yeah, I’m not surprised that a lot of people in the technical fields used third party apps. I’m talking about the general public that would never know Lemmy exists and would be bored if I even talked for two minutes about a cool app lol (and there are plenty of them).

    No, I don’t think it’s an issue. Lemmy certainly doesn’t need most of Reddit to migrate. But if the number of users is a lot less, there will also be much less content. For me, the ideal scenario is to have a decent numbers of users, but nowhere close to Reddit’s (I’m almost totally sure that it won’t actually replace Reddit for the general public but I’m just hoping for enough users to make it a nice community with enough content).

    I haven’t tried Mastadon, but I get your point. But I’m sure people would be confused about the instances and stuff. When you really want to try it out, then you typically have patience and see how things work. A lot of people just simply don’t care enough to try this when there was no issue with Reddit for them in the first place. I am trying to shift because I’m annoyed at Reddit, but someone who isn’t really has no reason to.








  • If you subscribe to some communities, you WILL have an option to see posts only from those communities, you shouldn’t have to go into a community unless you only want to see posts from that particular one. Also, I’m new but the default sort is usually “active”, which I assume means posts which have a lot of activity, such as comments. Try setting it to hot or something else to check whether you get a better variety of posts.
