Reddit is starting to suck more and more everyday so here I am. A couple of questions -
-
I created my account at lemmy.ca, but most people I have seen have lemmy.world accounts. Am I missing out on anything by not having a lemmy.world account?
-
Reddit has an offical subreddit for Reddit news. Does Lemmy have any offical communities?
-
On Reddit, you can’t post on some subreddits if you do not have enough karma or if your account is not old enough. Are there any rules like that on Lemmy?
Thank you!
First, welcome!
So if
lemmy.cadoesn’t federate withbadlemmy.xyz, you won’t see any content from users frombadlemmy.xyzfrom yourlemmy.caaccount.For
lemmy.ca, their announcement community is [email protected] and they also have [email protected] and [email protected]Thank you!
I’m I missing out on anything with my world account?
Lemmy.world is defederated from quite a few big instances (most notably hexbear) but honestly most people end up blocking hexbear anyway so you’re not missing much.
Yeah man, but being on the largest instance, you’re missing the fun of federation. Go make a fun alt. I highly recommended dbzer0.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed dbzer0.
What am I missing?
Piracy content.
Is that not featured on my view?
Federation
That doesn’t really explain it to me…
Well you could join startrek.website and federate while chatting about the Federation. That could be neat!
Can’t argue with that.
Hexbear (leftist instance), NSFW content, and all piracy content.
Oh okay; which one has access to everything?
I am on Midwest.social and I believe they only block lemmygrad, threads, and a few others. Check out the site + /instance to see who they are federated with and who they block. For example: midwest.social/instances. By clicking the blocked instances tab, you can see who they have blocked. Others that have very open federation is lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemm.ee. Others can chime in if their instance is good for this.
Lemm.ee is good
