Title says it all!? I'm a reddit refuge and picked this instance because it's A) Canadian (I'm in MN, so consider myself an honorary Canadian), and B) The clean energy thing.

Applied to Beehaw but never heard back. Dittos on Lemmy.ML!

So hoping this is going to be a great "home" away from Reddit for the foreseeable future.

Cheers, and well done on the instance, admins!

The description said english AND french so I hoped to discuss some french shit but as far as I can tell there is no french discussion, for now.

Edit : J'ai créé ça pour ceux que ça intéresse : https://sh.itjust.works/c/francophone. On verra si ça décolle mais mon but ne sera pas de le modder à terme.

bah on peut parler français si tu veux mais il faut parler français pour avoir des conversations en français pour que l'on vois le français quelque part, mais si on ne le parle pas on ne le voit pas et il n'y aura jamais des discussions en français

(┬┬﹏┬┬)

Bien sur. C’est trop facile d’utilizer l’anglais souvent.

Moi, j’apprends le français et j’ai choisi cette instance pour apprendre plus.

Pas faux dieu

[-] yonderoutdark@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

peut-être, mais je suis certain qu'il y a les gens qui parle français ici! Je parle in petit peu haha

[-] god@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

on a créé !francophone@sh.itjust.works, alors tu peux rejoindre si tu veux :)

[-] yonderoutdark@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Merci beaucoup!

[-] kaki@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Same. Maybe we should create some French-speaking communities?

[-] Twinax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Creating means modding I guess, and I wouldn't be sufficiently available to do that, as I am also trying kbin/social and squabbles to see what sticks.

Little word about squabbles: centralized and closed source. The day the dev decides bye it's bye, and the day the dev does something dumb, that's it. Not federated, and ultimately nothing you can do except organize another partial exodus. At least with federated it's much easier to have people just make a new account elsewhere, re-sub to their favorite communities and continue as if nothing had happened, losing only a bit of comment history. If you want long term reliability I think this is it. At least I worry about that somewhat more than whether the UI winks at me with its cute charm.

Je ne sais pas francais ☹️

[-] abrasiveteapot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

OK, je me suis inscrit

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Ce que je me dis c'est que ça veut dire que si j'ai de quoi à demander à l'administrateur au moins ça peut se faire en français, je ne m'attends pas à voir 50/50 français/anglais, surtout que le nom du site est accrocheur et en anglais.

[-] abrasiveteapot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

There's a few more francophones in this thread

https://sh.itjust.works/comment/88832

I suspect we need to create a community (although there may already be one we should join, I dunno, I've been here 30seconds)

[-] god@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

the server's been alive for less than a week, just make your own communities if you don't find them in the search bar :D you can find existing communities on https://sh.itjust.works/communities

[-] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

That doesn't show all of them. Better to check on the community browser.

[-] god@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I personally use this one: https://lemmy.directory/communities

more compact
