A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Well, this could be Lemmy's chance. But it will need to be easier for ex-Reddit users to sign up. I know that Lemmy instances have been brigaded, so I guess better moderation tools will need to be created before open registrations happen.

Hello from Reddit, the signup was easy enough for me at least

I signed up a few days before reddit made the announcement lol to just check lemmy out since I've been hearing about it for a while. I had no idea reddit would do this then. I just figured out how to connect to different instances and this is my first comment in a different instance from the one I signed up :D

From someone that just joined today, what is an instance?

[–] BlazingFlames6073@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's like servers just like the other used said. Each of them has their own guidelines and stuff from what I can tell. Nobody can make a sudden decision for all of the instances like reddit made about restricting their api I think but we can still interact with most instances.

Thank you! Excited to figure this all out haha.

It's another word for (Lemmy) server.

[–] HowDoYouDo87@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Oh okay! Thanks!

Well then this is maybe the first reply from jet another instance - Welcome!

[–] BlazingFlames6073@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the welcome

[–] 7eter@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

welcome!! Here is maybe the first reply from a different instance ;D

[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Same, no issues so far

[–] dleewee@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I agree, it wasn't bad. Most tech folks won't struggle. There are some rough edges that could be improved though.

Self-hosting Lemmy was pretty easy, and federation works well. Many little things can be improved but at least user-facing the big systems work. Moderation might be more difficult, as always with social media...
