Go to the instance main site via web browser (ex: lemmy.world). Don’t need to sign in. Scroll to the very bottom of the page. You should see Instance under the UI and Lemmy version. Click on that. It will show you what that instance is federated with and if you scroll to the bottom you can see the ones that are defederated. To easily find your instance do the “find” option in your browser to search directly.

Used to have a huge crush on Brendan Fraser back in the mid-late 90’s. He made some funny movies back in the day this was not one of them.

Blood pressure in relationship to fluid. Just like a water hose. More fluid = more pressure.

waves hand in air Me too!!!

Sync - whenever it launches. :) Was my favorite reddit one.

Out of the current options I have tried (Connect, Jerboa, Liftoff and Thunder) I think my favorite is Liftoff.

Jerboa isn’t compatible with my main instance, but I enjoyed using it as my first app before the others came out. Connect is seemingly slow to communicate between instances/communities for me and I am picky about some of its organizational features. Thunder does a decent job, probably close runner up to Liftoff. Going to keep trying each one as the apps and Lemmy itself develops.

I’m guessing you hate the spelling of February too? 🙃

Sorry…I know that’s 6 but I just remembered the last one.

Choose one of those links. If it doesn’t work, try another. If it’s not the correct one, it won’t install/load. (I’m not the most tech savvy, but the trial and error method seemed to work for me.)

Another great tip. When I originally posted each on a single line, they all got mashed together. Will use in future posts.

Appreciate the correction, edited my first post to reflect this :)

They are separate communities each on a different server. You will encounter a bunch of duplicate communities on various servers for the big topics (news, technology, gaming, etc.)

I can fix this also… brb!

This was asked today in another community, but still happy to share my favorites in hopes that others will enjoy:

As most reddit refugees I didn’t know how the fediverse worked and I jumped over here a week or so preemptively before a lot of the information on how the fediverse worked was widely established. I was frustrated because initially I couldn’t add communities I was searching for and until people migrated over and made the community connections, the easiest way for me to see all the different communities out there was instance hopping. Now I know better and only really use one or two accounts because I am still having trouble viewing/posting things from certain ones. I chose to make a kbin account to see the variety in formatting and the different magazines available which are separate from Lemmy communities. Even yesterday, playing on kbin, I couldn’t view all the communities that I know are out there in the Lemmy part of the fediverse. I do, however enjoy the kbin UI. Lastly, if one server instance goes down permanently, by having a second account on a different instance, I won’t be completely lost or cut-off.

On one instance I have subbed to 136 communities. This was my first instance I joined and just looking for any communities that looked interesting.

I originally tried to duplicate that in the new instances I signed up on, but eventually gave up finding it to be too tedious.

At some point, on my main instance/account I started weeding out communities that were not as exciting or active as I was hoping for.

On some newer instances, I keep to a handful of subject matters based on the instance’s primary community subjects (ex: startrek.website)

I have only played around with kbin a few times and have had a more difficult time initially setting it up and subscribing to magazines, but that’s where I came across this thread.

I am eager to see app development for lemmy and kbin since I enjoy browsing casually from my phone. Half the time I am on Jerboa, the other half on the PWA for lemmy. Just started using the kbin PWA.

I like having multiple instances to view different content that may not be available due to defederation (beehaw) and I sometimes find new communities on one instance that don’t populate from another (possible bug?)

As for my main interests, I am subbed to all instance versions of that community (news, gaming, etc) since they all have good but separate threads and interactions.

My hope is, that once a third-party app that is able to combine and standardize my viewing and search preferences, I will switch to that and only keep maybe 2 or 3 accounts to seperate professional vs personal interests, vs straight up casual and unorganized viewing.

@ruud@lemmy.world created a sticky post that is a work in progress, however I believe it is something that answers your question
