I'm interested in the new music community! I'm terrible at branching out. Thanks for making something I didn't know I wanted.

This is the one that clicked for me credit to Matthieu@piaille.fr

You can think of it like emails.

A lemmy community is like an automated mailbox that sends everything they receive to all subscribers.

You can host a mailing list/community on gmail.

Then you can subscribe to the mailing list from outlook.

Then a user can send a post to the mailing list from yahoo.

The automated mailbox at gmail will receive the message from yahoo and send it to outlook and all other subscribers.

Thanks for asking this - I've wondered but never followed the subs so I didn't think to ask about it.

No posts! Good link tho

What's your community?

Good point, did not notice that I can't see a tally for myself. I never got any much karma built up since I didn't post or engage.

I think that aspect of not sharing is a great point. Seems like a group would be going out of the way to find other groups to dislike even.

I felt the move of making reddit silver a real award was a big shift. Newer users don't even get why reddit silver was a thing.

I do like the idea of optional visibility - awards certain;y don't have to be bloat/bad.

Personally I am commenting and posting much more now than ever on reddit. I want to transition to lemmy and see it grow as I refuse to use the Android reddit app.

I am not typing/imagining a comment and then not posting it here either like many people do on reddit. It seems like a good time to become less of a lurker.

Definitely a problem that comes with reddit and the unique subreddit names I'd say. I feel like that may not be avoided here since moving many subscribers from a large->small community is so difficult. Maybe the federation style will be successful though, I can't say I have enough experience to predict that well.

Realized another - the awards that reddit created were out of control. I didn't mind avatars too much since customization can be fun and it was optional, but the awards are spammed and shown on most reddit clients.

Yea that seems like something that started showing up more as time went on and more users joined. The trends and jokes did get tiring.
