It's a first for me. I wanted to join Mastodon but didn't know what instance to choose and was generally confused about how everything works so I didn't create an account. With Lemmy it was different since I really wanted to join. So I took my time to figure everything out and it is way less complicated than I initially thought. But I get why it might seem confusing at first, especially subscribing to communities on different servers.

Same. I think this might also be one of the reasons people join larger instances (besides not knowing where to go). At least it was like that for me. I really hope we see that feature sooner than later. Maybe I'll try setting up my own instance when I have enough time to figure out how that works.

Love that song! I always have to think about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland when listening to it.

Would be really cool! Until then I enjoy Lemmy as it is. I'm happy to have found this place including the awesome community here.

I also wouldn't want them merged. But I would find it great if I could kind of curate my own "front pages". E.g. creating a page for myself called "Technology" and adding all the tech communities that I follow to it so that I can see all posts in one place.

This is a great picture. They can consider themselves lucky that you came along!

I feel you. On Reddit I was always afraid to get 1000 of comments telling me I'm stupid or how could I do xyz. I really like it here on Lemmy, everyone is just so welcoming and not at all mad that so many of us (former) Redditors are joining.

I already deleted all my comments and posts and when the time comes and RIF is down I'll delete my whole account.

For me it definitely is the energy between the band and the crowd and how the band engages with the crowd. I don't like it when the band just plays their songs without interacting. It also is the crowd for me itself. I've seen Flogging Molly a few times and everybody just seems so happy to be there, enjoying the show and looking out for each other. It's just a whole other vibe.

I'll do the same. RIF is Reddit to me, no RIF = no Reddit.

Same here, I'm glad Jerboa exists. Otherwise I wouldn't even know if my account is active yet since I'm currently unable to log in on the desktop version of the instance I've chosen. Besides that and figuring everything out I enjoy it here so far.

Edit: Seems that a blank space after my username was the problem. Now everything works just fine.
