& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?
I think that’s a pretty good analogy. One of the things I’m still struggling with is how communities work across instances. If I follow casual conversations on one instance, will I see posts on that community from other instances? Or do I have to follow each individual instance of that community? As I’m trying to find new communities to follow, I often get confused if I’m already following a specific community or which instance I should choose to follow it on.
You can see posts/conversations from other instances if the instances are federated(communicate with each other), which most are/do(?). You just have so subscribe to the communities that aren’t on your instance to do so. But some instances aren’t federated. For example, Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world (and another I forget which) early on due to the open sign ups and moderations issues. I’m on lemme.world, I can go on a beehaw community, I can see the posts, and read through the conversations, but I don’t think they can see if I reply to anything( so I don’t). But this is where I start to lose my grasp on the technology too, so if anyone more knowledgeable than me wants to chime in…
