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.

Quick side question: How did you get to beehaw from the jerboa app? I only see lemmy.ml stuff on it and can't find a way to add other communities.
I'm able to find some BeeHaw communities by searching them in the app.
Checking again, you're right. I am seeing the odd thing now. Maybe i was looking for a way to see just the beehaw feed and purposefully bounce back and forth as desired.
I know what you mean. I'm also discovering i need to pivot my perspective from Reddit-style usage.
It's also odd that i was able to find a couple BeeHaw communities but some others never showed up. I'm on mobile at work so i haven't been able to investigate.
Yeah, it's exciting to see things differently. Especially since, for the moment, things are a bit smaller here. I'm liking the idea of everything so far. Perhaps the app needs a few things added. Most definitely, I have a lot to learn!
Have you tried searching for beehaw stuff by name?
Have not messed around with the app much yet and didn't know it would show up at all based off of my cursory glances so far. I mentioned in another comment that I was wondering if it could be set so that I only see Beehaw and not lemmy.ml so I could hop between the locations at will. Maybe in a future update in the app!
Update: I poked around the app a bit more. I didn't notice that in the login screen, the instance menu could scroll. It looked like it perfectly held the fours it originally showed. I was short on time when i originally looked and didn't try scrolling there because of how nicely it fit. Figured i would update this in case others could use the info.
I clicked the 3 bars on the left side of the interface, then "add account" and entered beehaw details
I had not noticed that the list of instances was longer than originally shown. Thank you for sharing screen shots. Hopefully if someone else had the same question, that clears it up!
I typed in beehaw.org myself - it wasnt in the list. That only seems to offer up 3 lemmy instances
I didn't know you could type in that list?! It didn't look like a field that allowed that. Good to know for the future!
