Oh nice, I'll try this too!
I think you're right in that the structure is confusing. Personally, I think it's less confusing than it is "novel". Like in a world where the fediverse was the norm, centralised apps would've been confusing.
Either which way, I think you're correct -- part of it is because we don't really have a good analogy for how this whole thing works.
This is how I see it: Lemmy is like a house party hosted in a huge venue that has hundreds of doors (i.e. instances). The doors have some slight differences (maybe some are huge, some are tiny, some have bouncers, some let you bring your own costumes etc). But for the most part, it doesn't really matter what door you enter the party through, as all doors open into the same common space.
However, the door you choose does make you physically closer to one cluster of people than the rest of the party. That's how I see the "local" filter. But if you're just interested in getting into the party asap, just pick any instance and join.
This still isn't a perfect analogy though -- if a door shuts down, you don't magically disappear from the party. But if an instance goes down, you do. Still, for the uninitiated, I feel like this is a sensible enough analogy.
I think I'm going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I've been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.
Just is a good one
Welcome!! Bring you friends too!
If they're actually going for accuracy, they should make the US the demonic antagonist, and Cuba, South Africa, Laos, Vietnam etc as the protagonists.
49 rapes by ONE cop. Never forget.
I want to say this makes me happy but who am I kidding, the Met's obviously saying this to justify demanding more police funding.
My thoughts exactly! I plan to use Native Alpha mostly to give the devs ample time to improve Jerboa, and will eventually jump ship (I think)
