just throwing my random input in to the pot. still using Reddit via Boost but also checking into Kbin and some of the Lemmy servers as well via the Connect app for Android. I like Lemmy I just miss how Reddit had "everything in one place" if that makes sense.
I think I'm doing something wrong because I feel like I have to make an account for each server or "instance" I visit and that's annoying.
So far it's been a nice experience once I find "subs" and stuff I like there's just some growing pains I guess. idk man, I'm a lil inebriated atm
You only need an account on one server. You can still subscribe/post/comment to communities on other servers but you kind of do it as a visitor (though it doesn't make any difference).
Some of the servers aren't friends with each other though, so there are some servers where if you have an account there you won't be able to interact with communities on specific other servers
Man, it's wild how many folks are confused by that (I don't mean that in a negative way!) I think maybe the top/biggest instances need to pin a short, bright colored video explaining the gist of how Lemmy content viewing/comment posting works for newbies.
I think the base website doesn't explain it well. Like if you go to the main page I didn't find it obvious at all how to actually start using Lemmy.
