Lots of people asking questions about the fediverse over at /r/fediverse

Lemmy feels pretty centrist, idk politics are weird plenty of right mfs have very leftist views that they see as right wing views if that makes sense, plenty of left wing ppl going off emotion too. I feel like on lemmy no one tweaks if you agree with one of trumps actions while hating 99% of them, elsewhere like on reddit they'll pile on you for considering they could have one good point,like yeah maybe cartels should be designated terrorists good job there

i remember that for me the only issue was which instance to join, just because i didn't understand instances. Could you see other instances, do you have to create a username on each, Is you username automatically on all of them. Can every instance see your posts, etc... I don't blame some people for being scared to switch to something new after spending a big part of their life somewhere that they got used to and build a "community".

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

forsure that makes a lot of sense

[hobbitfoot@thelemmy.club]

Jeroba would default to .ml because the devs also admin the instance.

wish we could somehow transfer reddit history, but reddit legally owns our posts and identity

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

I had 3 alts all get banned at once with my main, I commented on the front page with an alt that was supposdely banned. They were all logged into the app tho thats easy enough to notice (it bothers me that they claim I was evading a ban? like id be smart enough to at least use a vpn and not login all my alts into the same app on the same phone if it was for evading a subreddit ban...)

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Theres just a niche subrddit for everything, thats its one pro, but then you realize everyones just showing off and gatekeeping or trying to sell you something

[openstars@piefed.social]

You can test that assumption at your convenience by making a post or even just a reply in [email protected]. I don't think it will turn out like you hoped.:-)

My point is that it highly depends which community you say something in. The more niche the more likely that is to be true but the popular ones seem full of people just waiting to dunk on people's poor judgement - ChapoTrapHouse even explicitly says that right in the sidebar area!:-P

Well, you can at least download all your reddit account information into a file that you can archive locally. I wanted to make sure my best puns were preserved at all costs

For the second part Reddit also have the same issue.

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

So what? You don't have to understand how something works to use it.

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

I guess I had practice from picking MMO servers all these years.

[meldrik@lemmy.wtf]

This guy thought so..

Most of these devs would have cried if they met Linus Torvalds in his prime.

[byteonbikes@slrpnk.net]

Typical infighting with open-source folks. It's a personality war with nerds.

Source: I contribute to open source and have absolutely gone nuclear a few times

[byteonbikes@slrpnk.net]

And bots! Lots of bots!

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

He was wrong.

[ramenjunkie@lemmy.world]

I have a question.

How, if possible, can I log in to say, discuss.online above, with this account.

Or do I need to make a second account over there.

I am using the jerboa app at the moment if that helps.

Also, related, is there a way to just, use my Mastodon account, and drop this one completely?

[howrar@lemmy.ca]

Reddit has a recommendation algorithm to do most of that work for you.
