I'm still trying to get used to Lemmy; the main thing confusing me is the federated bit.

I just want to access Lemmy and its content; how do I do that? Currently I'm just going to old.lemmy.world and using that as a starting point.

Is there another instance you would recommend as the default one?

The two main reasons I ask are:

  1. I want to know if there are things I am simply missing out on and there's a better way to browse Lemmy.

  2. I really don't like cloudflare and have it disabled in Javascript. I don't want to leave it enabled for lemmy.world.

Hi,

I'm sorry to bother you again, but I have a question regarding old.slrpnk.net

Other instances using the old. format, they have an expand button. So you can quickly see text posts or an image and see if it worth engaging with further.

I haven't been able to see that in old.slrpnk.net. I'm wondering if there is a way to add it in the preferences or something that I'm missing?

Thanks and I apologize again for all the questions.

We have that too. Maybe the new fork that we are using is doing that slightly different from other versions and that somehow breaks in your browser?
