I’m new to Lemmy. Trying to figure out how it works.
lemmy.dbzer0.com is hosted by the original MOD of r/piracy whereas lemmy.ml is hosted by lemmy
Will posts on one instance be seen on the other and vice versa or are they completely separate?
Which ever instance you’re on, you’ll need to subscribe to the communities on each instance to be able to view both instances.
They’re both piracy communities on separate lemmy instances. One is on lemmy.dbzer0.com, one is on lemmy.ml. As both those instances are linked, the communities can interact with each other freely. Hope that helps.
Do I need to do anything to interact with both or is that the default behavior?
There are a few across the Fediverse
dbzer0.com is Reddit /r/Piracy’s instance. lemmy.ml is a pre-existing one. kbin.social is a new one I think. Most of the Reddit crowd is hanging out at the dbzer0 instance.
EDIT: Added another one
It seems that way. I wonder what the user overlap is, I’m subscribed to both for instance.
Did you need to make an account on both or subscribe to both? I see an option to register on the other instance while I’m registered and logged in here.
No you just need to subscribe to the community from your home instance. It’ll then pull in the content and display it on your subscribed section just like content hosted on your actual home instance.
here’s a cool site to browse for communites https://browse.feddit.de/ just copy the link and paste it into your search bar from your instance. then click subscribe
you might need to hit search a few times for it to show up, and you might need to hit subscribe a few times if it says pending instead of joined. and also if the subscribe button doesnt load correctly I hit the name of the community to reload the page and it usually makes it workWhat’s the difference between Free Media Heck Yeah and DBzer0?
I wrote this a day or two ago, might help get you started.
