I just joined .world because it sounded the most logical

"Oh it says world, that probably means i can see things all over the world"

I'm not disappointed

Reading an image, page refreshes, lose image. I wish I could turn off the auto-refresh or reduce the interval.

Beehaw told me not to join unless I could say specific groups I wanted to join. Nah from me.

This will die down eventually: at the moment there are many different independent ideas of how to build federated reddit alternatives that have yet to really be tested for how the underlying systems and moderation tools scale. In due time there's going to be a standard application or at least standard exchange format between the different services, that just doesn't happen right now since all methods are really new and now get "suprise load tested".

That's also why you experience outages and Beehaw explicitly asking people not to join: everything went from "fringe techdemo" to "the internet is moving off of reddit" in a matter of less than a week (same thing is true with app support) and everything is at its breaking point: from the underlying technology to new communities appearing in a matter of hours to days (usually with less experienced moderators).

You can follow any lemmy or kbin community from one account on any instance

Except comms from beehaw if you're on .world; leave those and join another similar comm if you are.

I'm liking the UI, experience on mobile could be a bit better though

You don't need multiple accounts, one account can access all different instances, including subscribing to remote communities. You just have to click "All" in the communities or post list to see them, instead of "Local".

Except for beehaw.org defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, and I think some defederated from lemmygrad.ml.

Also it should be said that edited comments don't seem to pass across the instances. I think they only sync when the comment has been made.
