I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It’s helped a lot.

    I’m still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I’m on a small instance called “Toast.ooo”, and I’d like to subscribe to the starfield community on “Lemmy.zip”, but I just can’t do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn’t appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can’t log in to my account.

      is this an issue with the federation of lemmy? or do you think this is a one-off for you?

      i’m still wrapping my head around it a bit. i signed up on lemmy.world and it was seamless, but i honestly don’t know the scope of lemmy, how far it goes, or if i should have signed up on a different instance.

      editing to add: i found this post and thought it might solve your issue? https://lemmy.world/post/335116

      I’ve discovered that you can search for the URL on (for instance) Lemmy.zip but set the search to “All” instead of just Communities.

      Although now that I typed that out, I may have had a problem with Lemmy.zip specifically today, Al maybe it’s a them issue?
