This got flagged as “erotic content”

What

this is what i am thinking always

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

Ah yes, the c

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

Never moderated anything before, how much of a time commitment is it usually?

Fit that you can’t look at for too long

Got it thanks guys

You can but it might be a little unstable. Post from mastodon and mention @community@instance.url to make a post

I’m mad at Reddit so I’m going to create my own reddit that works the exact same way. You can post, make subreddits, like and comment, everything. The only problem is I only have a userbase of 10 people. There’s kind of a catch 22 with maintaining a userbase on social media: if I don’t have enough users, no one will want to join, so I’ll have even fewer users.

One thing that can help is the fact that you have your own separate reddit clone that also has 10 users. We can work together and make our websites compatible with each other and speak the same language. Now my users can see your subreddits and posts and interact with your users like there’s nothing separating them. A community emerges of 20 people that transcends the boundaries of the individual websites.

Now say we take our code, call it Lemmy, and post it for free on the internet so anyone can copy it and make their own reddit clone to add to the network. These are all separate websites, called instances, but since they speak the same language (ActivityPub), all the users can interact with each other.

I’m seeing a lot of people having issues with accidentally getting bounced to the wrong instance. I have a friend who got confused and gave up on fedi I think because of the confusion from this same issue.

Using a client does help though

How much are the operating costs a month usually?

How do you fund mastodon.world? Do you collect donations?

Weird, can’t see it on my end: https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/110/529/792/128/061/813/original/7ba36b7ff87cf564.jpg What client are you using?

Got it! kinda. I can post to a Lemmy community through mastodon but i can’t see lemmy posts there, at least not in tusky

How? I tried searching “@lemmy.blahaj.zone@196” in masto search but nothing came up

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

Mlem looks great! IOS only though rip
