It has potential but the learning curve is starting to be a real drag for me. I’m confused by this setup in general and don’t particularly feel like getting a phd in lemmying just to shitpost, you know?
Please let me know what areas you are struggling with and I’ll do my best to explain. I think the difficulty of Lemmy is being exaggerated and maybe if things are explained succinctly it will help the community tremendously. I will try my best.
I’m still very new myself, so probably I’ve not yet hit the point in the curve where things get confusing. But it’s good to know that gifs work just fine.
I just don’t understand all these ‘instances’ or whatever. Do you need a separate login/pw for all of them? I tried registering for beehaw for example but it just sits there spinning its wheels whenever i hit submit. Idk I’ll give it a chance I guess but I’m pretty underwhelmed so far. I just don’t understand why a forum to shitpost needs to be so complicated…
You do not need a separate login per instance. You can make one login on one instance and communicate with all the others as long as the instance you are trying to communicate with is not banned by your instance. I can give further clarification upon request.
I joined this morning to get a little ahead of the curve.
There zero reason this place couldn’t replace Reddit entirely if people just give it a chance.
I really hope people don’t just drop it once the blackouts end.

Reddit has sucked since about 2016. I really hope most of Reddit stays on Reddit,and Lemmy can just be under the radar like Reddit circa 2012.
Kind of ironic from a six day old account lmao.
Yeah, I’ve hated Reddit for a long time, but didn’t know Lemmy existed until the article in Hacker News.
