Yes, you can consider it like a web forum but with the default sort set to "new post" not "new comment" as is done on Reddit. This tends to favour new content over longer discussion, although you'll get active threads like this quite often.
And thank you for choosing feddit.uk, I hope you enjoy your time with us and if you have any other questions then fire away.
Think of it more like email addresses. Know how a Gmail account can send email to an iCloud account just fine, and both display the same content? Same basic concept. You can have [account]@domain1.com and [account]@domain2.com, and they’re entirely separate accounts. Even if they have the same username, they’re on different instances.
Federation refers to how the instances share data with each other. One of the largest things to look for is what instances your instance federates with, because that will determine what kinds of users you end up interacting with.
You don't need another account. Example to access a community on lemm.ee:
feddit.uk/c/casualconversation…
Which is the same content as lemm.ee/c/casualconversation
Most instances will federate with a pretty wide variety of other instances. There are a few big instances to watch out for, but for the most part the instance choice is primarily about which admin team you prefer. As long as your home instance federates with a server, you’ll be able to see it.
In particular, watch out for Hexbear and the .ml instances. Those will be some of the more extreme and/or brigade-y. There have historically been issues with brigading from some of the more extreme instances. Even calling them extreme is a sort of contentious statement, and I’ll likely get a few “how dare you, fascist, tankie, TERF, etc” types of comments if they stumble across it.
Aside from brigading, the most common reasons for defederation are related to legality (like maybe a certain instance allows porn that would be blocked in your home instance,) or unmoderated trolling. Trolling from new instances used to be a big problem, where an admin would make a server as a side project and leave it to stew. Trolls would make bot accounts on that fledgling instance, and use them to troll other instances. And since that small instance’s admin is just doing it as a side project, they’re not keeping active tabs on anything and the troll accounts are able to run rampant. Bans didn’t federate by default, so every single instance would need to individually ban the trolls.
Also, one particular quirk of federation is that federated instances can act as a proxy for defederated instances. For instance, you’re on feddit.uk, which defederates from Threads. So you won’t see Threads content normally. But maybe another instance does allow Threads, and feddit.uk is federated with them. If a Threads user posts on that second instance, you’ll also be able to see it. Because even though your home instance blocks Threads, that second instance allows it and you see it by proxy.
!sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz
Oh hello! Subbed.
Just recommend the biggest instance that isn't federated with them. Anyone got a list?
I do think it's valuable to recommend the bigger instances. If they're on a big instance, they don't have to worry about federation at all at first. It takes no effort to slowly learn about federation, and later they have the option to move to a smaller instance.
This lemmy.zip person didn't have a good onboarding experience. @zombiegirl2010@lemmy.zip maybe?
Sorted by "most active", these are the ones I recommend:
sh.itjust.works [Users 28,811 total; 2,465 / month]
lemmy.ca [Users 8,604 total; 1,138 / month]
sopuli.xyz [Users 4,967 total; 496 / month]
infosec.pub [Users 4,240 total; 325 / month] (this also defeds lemmy.ml, which the ones above doesn't do, but this is kinda small)
Edit: Also, if someone make an account on a small instance and just search and subscribe to everything, then it would make sure the communities are synched. (someone please go do that)
There's also this one, [Users 172,000 total; 27,400 / month]
That's going to be the smoothest experience for people who "don't want to deal" with federation. They can always move later.
In EVE Online we refer to this as the Brave Newbies area, the biggest, zergiest group where you don't need to know what you're doing. It functions as a training ground and feeder group for the more elite groups.
I've just had a look at your Reddit history, and you seem to very insist on Lemmy.world (old.reddit.com/user/serinus)
Any reason not to show people to other instances? sopuli.xyz/ is a popular choice for Europe, and discuss.online/ has a good track record for a US-based instance.
A potential interesting post: lemmy.world/post/24577309
Because it's the smoothest experience for new people. If you by default end up on the local tab, it's not barren.
I agree sopuli is great for Europe and lemmy.ca is great for Canada. sh.itjust.works is also reasonable. But people looking for general social media will have the easiest time on Lemmy.World that is the most similar to the centralized experience that they're used to.
If you want people to actually give Lemmy a fair shot, and don't have a specific reason to guide them elsewhere, I think it's wise to point them to .world. They can always leave later, after they're more familiar with federation and Lemmy.
If anyone's wondering what you should do first, the first thing you should do is block hexbear, and the next thing you should do is join any instance other than lemmy.ml. lemmy.world is a good choice, but there's probably one you'll like better.
If you want to know the most trans-friendly instance, it's lemmy.blahaj.zone. There are people who will tell you it's Hexbear. Those people are liars.
Enforcement without exception of a rule that was created to protect a marginalized group is not "cray cray", nevermind the use of ableist language there.
The 196 on world is the original mods, who were unhappy with Ada's enforcement of the rules on her server which she owns and decided that because of this they would migrate their community without consulting their members to .world, an instance which is known in the wider community to have moderation issues such as unfair or inconsistent application of rules (see /c/yepowertrippinbastards on Lemmy.dbzer0 for examples).
The now 2 other 196 comms on blahaj are comprised of the original community's members, now fractured into two groups. /C/onehundredninetysix was made while /c/196 was still privated by the original moderators.
Edit: spelling
That’s actually me. I simply didn’t want to carry over that username but I guess I should claim it too. Lol
Yeah, I originally joined Lemmy during the first Reddit exodus. Then, I squirreled and did not spend the necessary time to learn much about it. However, this go around I’m here and I’m serious about learning it and using Reddit much much less (in hopes to abandoning it eventually).
Some folks helped me to find apps. I’m using Avelon and I really like it. It makes figuring Lemmy out MUCH EASIER than simply bookmarking.
Sounds great, and good choice of instance.
Here is a list of communities to help you get started: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35001146
Glad to see you here!
The reason I push people to Lemmy.World is that you mostly don't need to learn anything about federation. It's obvious enough over time what the @ symbols are, and you basically pick it up through osmosis.
If you start on a really small instance, your people might not subscribe to many foreign communities. If nobody subscribes to a foreign community, it doesn't get pulled over and doesn't show up in ALL. That can make Lemmy look pretty barren, and you have to go out and find communities (somehow) on your own.
If you start at Lemmy.World, the all tab just works. The local tab is even a fine experience, though I wouldn't use it here. Similar arguments with lemmy.ca and sopuli.xyz for Canada and Europe. Their all tabs might be slightly worse, but for those people the local tab should be better (actually more local), balancing it out.
I wish there were an instance agnostic way to link that post.
Looks like it might be a thing coming soon?

Lemmy.world is on 0.19.3, so they are missing the following features (lemmy.ml/c/announcements for the details)
- Post hiding
- List of all media they previously updated and ability to delete those
- Change the vote display mode, allowing them to show or hide up and downvotes
- Quickly show the modlog of a user
The second is a very valid point for privacy, the one that caused the whole GDPR issue in March 2024: tech.michaelaltfield.net/2024/…
The last one is useful when you doubt whether the person you are talking to is commenting in good faith.
So yes, LW is okay, but there are other instances which offer a better experience, especially with the status pages that a lot of them have:
- status.lemm.ee/
- lemmy-meter.info/d/GeoFE5WIz/i…
- status.lemmy.zip/status/lemmy
There are also several occurrences of LW staff power tripping without coming back after other users have provided evidence that they may not have taken the best decision: lemmy.world/comment/14411953

Their all tabs might be slightly worse
You are aware that with 1140 and 496 monthly active users, and the use of lemmy-federate.com/, the All tab on those instances, as well as any other instance with more than 100 monthly active is going to be the same than on LW, right?
This used to be true a while ago, but any instance in the top 20 (fedidb.org/software/lemmy/ ) is going to give the same All feed.

I'm brand new here, I am over Reddit as I just got banned for "threatening violence". I appealed to no avail. I got angry regarding a post about an adult purposely running down a 12 year old. I expressed what I "would feel like doing" to that driver if he knocked one of my sons over on purpose. I didn't actually threaten a real person, it was based on a hypothetical scenario.
But no apparently that's threatening violence.
So yeah, I'm here.
If anyone is looking for an unpopularopinion sub here, check out opinionhavers which I'm trying to get going.
There is also this one but mods took it offline for a while to protest something or other, so I figure it's good to have alternatives. The mod drama over there if you care.
It was shut down for around a week to a week and a half, and now it's back. That's what I meant.
The point was: now that it's been shown that the mod is willing to take the sub offline in protest of various stuff, maybe it would be good to support an alternative as well so eggs can be in several baskets instead of just one.
Watch out, Cat propaganda everywhere

Welcome! I hope you have fun here!
For me I dropped Reddit fully when I realized it was going down more than lemmy.world ever did lol
Oh damn, I too initially left reddit during the API BS, but I didn't see any of that.
What instance was that? (Was it one of the Tankie Triad?(Hexbear, Lemmygrad or Lemmy.ml?))
I got sitewide banhammered from Reddit for my absent-minded use of the report button instead of using modmail
Even though I was polite in the message Reddit claimed it was mod harassment
It's been over a week and they still haven't responded to my appeal
It won't let me submit another appeal because it says I've already submitted one
I've been on reddit for over 10 years, seems like an odd way to end it.
I'll have to admit though, Lemmy is pretty sweet. I even got Sync back!

However nasty the weather is where you are, it's worse on WASP-127b. This planet has howling winds blowing at 9 km/sec (20,000 mph). Temperatures drop 175° C (315° F) across its night side.

2/ Side note wondering if the the #Linux #Kernel boot logger is what we'll all be using sooner or later:
'"drm_log is a simple logger that uses the drm_client API to print the [#LinuxKernel's] kmsg boot log on the screen. This is not a full replacement to fbcon, as it will only print the kmsg. It will never handle user input, or a terminal because this is better done in userspace."'
