I apologize in advance as I'm one of the many reddit refugees seeking alternatives. I can't believe how fast reddit is unraveling and you'd think with u/spez's recent AMA he would try to placate the community instead of inciting the situation even further. Anyway, Lemmy's pretty cool so far.

Don't apologize. All refugees are welcome here. Although... there is one small thing you could do to help. Maybe make an account on a less crowded instance? Too many people see "dev-run" and think "main instance". We do need to spread out a bit to make this sustainable.

I'm new here, too. How do I switch instances from the mobile app? Edit: I'm using androids jerboa

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You just add another account under the arrow on the top left side. Then you can switch between the accounts on different instances if you like. But I prefer having one account only on a small instance.

Sorry to use you as tech support, but in what app? I tried jerboa and couldn't log in at all.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why couldn't you log in? Yes Jerboa.

[–] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I couldn't find the login button. Every button I touched just told me to login first.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's a common problem and I had it too. There was many threads about it. It's pretty much hidden.

Anyway, if you click on the top left hamburger menu in the app, there is a tiny arrow there at the top right. Click it. :)

That was it! Whoo boy yeah that could have been easier. Thank you!

It’s open source I think its gonna get a lot more development just from Redditors

[–] kinther@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

They have people astroturfing hard right now arguing that reddit is not wrong for anything they are doing
