Reddit is starting to suck more and more everyday so here I am. A couple of questions -

  1. 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?

  2. Reddit has an offical subreddit for Reddit news. Does Lemmy have any offical communities?

  3. 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!

    The reason I started an account on Lemmy.World vs sh.itjust.works, is because there was no way I was gonna tell my parents/friends/others that I saw something on ‘shit just works.’

        Yeah… I guess for me, it seemed weird to say that I saw/read something on Lemmy, as it’s similar to saying I read something on Wiki. They’re both frameworks for a kind of website. And not really narrowing down to the website you were actually on.

          With federation, thinking of them as websites in the traditional sense doesn’t really fit. By saying “on Lemmy” you’re narrowing it down to the platform you viewed it from which is actually more specific than necessary.
