This is good, but misses a glaring issue/confusion that you can have an “aww” community on each server which are totally unrelated.
You could do that on reddit too you just had aww awww awwww etc. This way isn’t any different as it tells you what server aww you are reading. You then just community search aww and subscribe to the ones you want.
Except behaw sniped connection to some servers
Most servers do. Even Lemmy.World defederized from those tankie servers.
Imo that’s the beauty of how all of this works. If you’re on Beehaw and don’t like how they’re doing things, you can leave and go to another server without issue. It’s not like Reddit where you’re just sol.
Is there a tool to sync account’s community subscription? It takes time to re-subscribe to all the communities of interest so it’s not so trivial to migrate instance
As far as I know, there isnt any Tool regarding this (yet)
https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate calls itself “migrate”, but judging from a quick glance at the code it takes one primary account and adds all the subscriptions the primary has, but the secondary doesn’t, to any number of secondary accounts.
So it’s really a one-directional sync without deleting.
Awesome, thanks!
As is their right to do
I’m new to all of this, but my understanding is they defederated with lemmy.world as well. Would this impact them negatively in the long run considering this instance has such a large user base?
Yes and no. It might hurt their potential userbase, but beehaw also is about quality over quantity, and these moves are an effort to enfore that policy.
Overall Id say its about even.
Honestly that’s why I chose an instance that federates with both. There’s no need to choose only between lemmy.world or beehaw.
How do usernames work? Can the same username be claimed multiple times (via registering on multiple instances)?
I don’t see why not… It’s like registering jack@gmail.com and jack@hotmail.com… Same name but not really
Yes. Claim 'em all now if that concerns you.
I can’t think of a cool enough of a vanity name to secure anything.
You can have a display name different from your username (just learning all this myself). Then you can use the same account across instances with different display names or vice-versa.
Love the usenet-ish federation. Now if only we had federated killfiles linked to our accounts. It’d be cool to raise/lower scores privately to bubble things up you care about and kill what you don’t.
Oh, a feature “people who like the comments you liked also liked these comments:”
Then it’s nothing to worry about.
Technically you only need to register in one instance and can interact across lemmy and kbin instances, but you can register the same username in various instances in case of defederation. Lemm.ee federates with all and all instances federate with it for example, beehaw.org doesn’t allow signups and has defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
And now to blow everybody’s minds, by visualizing that lemmy, mastodon and most other federated services are also inter-connected and can interact with one another.
See, I keep seeing people say that the federated services can interact with each other but I have yet to understand what that means. I have a lemmy and a mastodon account but I can’t figure out how they’re supposed to connect.
As I understand it, that would mean that lemmy servers would load content from mastodon servers and you could see them from your server. However, lemmy does not implement that yet (they are/were just two developers, so need to prioritize).
This right here is my question as well. Currently I have created an account and login for Lemmy, Kbin (because there were some instances I couldn’t see from Lemmy even though my native instance isn’t being blocked or blocking any others), and Mastodon. Do I need a minimum of a Lemmy and Mastodon account to access everything or will one work across all the fediverse?
You don’t need different accounts. I have an account in Mastodon where I follow a community from Lemmy for example.
The thing is you have to manually search and follow communities and people from other services.
So if you go to Mastodon search bar and type “@linux@lemmy.ml” for example, it will show you the community content as a Mastodon profile and you can follow it and see the posts on your timeline.

From liftoff?

Yep same thing happening here. I don’t think it happened when i was at jerboa.
I think you can find the community from the server u are logged in (using the search thing) then finding the post there. This whole thing is still gibberish to me tbh.
It’s an option in settings that allows you to view everything even if you’re not federated. You can sort by all of the instance you want.
But what’s better is if you sort by everything>subscribed you can seemlessly interact with beehaw and lemmy.world for example (if you’re registered to both).
Viewing isn’t the problem (although everything/all doesn’t show anything). There are posts from instances other than our logged in one in homepage and search. But you can’t vote or comment on them. Afaik we should be able to.
You’re not seeing anything from everything>all?
To be clear which of these are you viewing all from?
How come when I try to comment or upvote on a post from another instance it says I am not logged in.
As an example, OP was cross-posted from https://vlemmy.net/post/388759. This post lives in the community https://vlemmy.net/c/chat.
An equivalent to the URL https://vlemmy.net/c/chat is
https://vlemmy.net/c/chat@vlemmy.net(‘/c/chat’ as seen from ‘vlemmy.net’). If you have no account on vlemmy.net, these pages will display you logged out.If your account lives on feddit.de, you can visit the same community while being logged in, using
https://feddit.de/c/chat@vlemmy.netSimilar to reddit’s /r/syntax, you can do this: /c/chat@vlemmy.net. This will visit the community @ that instance, but while being logged in to your https:// home instance.
TLDR: Whenever you appear logged out, make sure your URL starts like this: https:// home instance
Liftoff defaults to “All” as opposed to All@[Your Instance]. This is very specific to liftoff and isn’t a part of other apps. Just click and select the second one from the drop-down and it’ll stop giving you that message.
So technically we should be able go comment from lemmy in a mastodon post, correct?
@Wild_Mastic yes, this is someone replying from mastodon. By default it adds ats for the thread and all comment parents to my post, but I can delete them.
I got here by finding this comment on the lemmy.world website and copying the URL into my mastodon client manually. If I wanted to spend time here specifically, I could get a feed of all your posts by following @Wild_Mastic, follow all posts from this sub magazine as if it were a user reblogging all content in it by following @main. I think there is also a way to follow any post to the instance but that would be something of a firehouse of information.
Regrettably, there is no great way to easily post with a nonlocal non-lemmy/non-kbin account to my knowledge currently outside of subscribing to these places prior to the post being made that you want to comment / interact with. But that could be done either with improved apps on desktop / mobile, integrations from existing apps or even something like a web browser addon perhaps.
Oh cool, so the process is a bit clunky but it can be done. Thanks!
I still habe trouble with mastodon. Some say it is like twitter others say it is not and you should not treat it that way. The improtant thing, how do i find good content there? I tried web search and trending hastags. Most of it is just random shit people wrote just a minute ago.
@Gawanoh Do you mean with an account on a mastodon instance, or from Lemmy? In the web UI for mastodon, there is an explore tab that can show you what people on that server are boosting / favoriting the most, that can at least give you some users and threads to click on (to click on more users) and potentially follow them. You can also check the federated timeline, which will probably be way too much to read everything but if you are fishing for content you might find something good if you happen to look at the right time. A local timeline can show you good people too if you picked an instance with reasonable people on it (your definitions / millage may vary).
If that doesn’t work or you are looking for accounts to follow from Lemmy / kbin, you could try using the https://fedi.directory website or #followfriday hashtag to find people recommending accounts.
I think so. But we can’t microblog here (kbin has both). I know I’ve seen mastadon users comment on lemmy posts before.
That is awesome!!
I’ve been trying to figure out Lemmy since the black-out and I find this very helpful. Thank you!
Can I somehow block bots? Someone created a soccer club community and is just spamming posts there.
They’ve stated that long term they would like reconnect with larger instances. The problem is that federation, afaik, is all or nothing. So they can’t let lemmy world users view their content without also allowing them to post/comment.
This shit is wild, honestly!
enjoying very much indeed

Be gone, pest!
Hi all! I’m having problems with 2fa right now. So i enabled 2fa on my sh.itjust.works, lemmy.fmhy.ml, lemmynsfw.com. but now when i try to log in, all of them says the code is wrong. I’m still logged in to all accounts so i can disable 2fa, but wondering why this is happening.
My app is Authy
Probably the wrong place for this kind of user support, but I’ve had the same problem on other services. The solution usually is that your 2FA device’s clock is wrong. 2FA needs a synchronized clock between the device and the server.
So how did you fix it? I know about this sync error but never had it with authy before
Go into your device’s system settings and set the date and time correctly.
They are correct
Is the device also set to the right time zone?
Yep
Then I have no idea what’s happening, sorry.
