Well you got an account made, and that’s a start! Lemmy’s UI may feel familiar if you’re an old.reddit user. There are apps like Voyager that feel like spiritual successors to AlienBlue and Apollo, so if you used those apps before they were killed, you’ll feel right at home.

The best way I’ve seen to describe the platform is to think of it like email. An @gmail account can send email to an @yahoo account just fine. The specific platform is agnostic because they all use the same email backend. That’s essentially how federation works, with a bunch of different servers/instances agreeing to use the same data sharing backend.

So you’re on lemmy.zip, so you’ll be able to see and interact with any instances that lemmy.zip is federated with. Federation is simply the decision to actively share that data. And defederation is when a server chooses not to share data with another instance. One of the biggest impacts your server choice makes is which instances it is federated/defederated with. That will determine which communities you can access, as you’ll only be able to see communities on local or federated instances.

The one big caveat is that defederating from an instance won’t stop you seeing posts from those users on another instance. For example, I’m on dbzer0. Let’s say dbzer0 and zip decide to defederate. You’d stop seeing communities on dbzer0, and vice versa. But if I posted to lemmy.world, you’d be able to see my post as long as you’re still federated with lemmy.world. The third instance (lemmy.world, in this example) essentially acts as a proxy to allow both to see each other. So defederation isn’t the same thing as a filter or block, as it only stops you from seeing things that are posted on that defederated instance.

My comment was tongue-in-cheek but I do appreciate that you took the time to make me feel comfortable. I was on Reddit for near 15 years and, when it was around, Apollo was my go to. When Apollo eventually had to end I’ve been in denial about the degradation of Reddit ever since. Anyway thank you for the welcome and the information I’m excited to explore lemmy!

Hate is a strong word. They're really cool most of the time, but sometimes you roll your eyes, but it's never something to be hated for.

They’re only “really cool” because the ml admins are so heavy handed with moderation. From the outside looking in, it looks like calm waters. But dig into the modlog, and you’ll quickly discover that it’s only calm because the admins only leave a very small and tightly controlled window for discourse.

.ml subs are weird, but .ml users are chill

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Eh, some of those folks do have hateable opinions, but I understand your point. You truly are a happy little frog.
