Might be useful but I just stumbled across Lemmy Community Boost - it seeds a community across a range of the big instances.

Plot twist: Anon lives on their own because they are insufferable, the loneliness just makes them think they share the place with other people.

I was lulled into a false sense of security by it only swerving right at the end.

Unexpected psychopathy.

This seems to be a particularly American concern, presumably dating back to the McCarthy era. Tye real question is: are they Tankies?

You seem to be confusing communism and dictatorships.

I’m still experimenting but it looks like I’ll be using Mastodon as my hub - I can follow users on the Fediverse and communities on Lemmy. As I can follow my various Fediverse accounts (and bring them all together in a list) I can post about any of it to my feed there.

This interoperability may be a big selling point of the Fediverse - rather than competing apps that try and keep users within their own spheres of control, the Fediverse apps play nicely together, so you can use the right tool for the job and then post about it elsewhere. So I may use Pixelfed for photo sharing or Peertube for videos, but it is trivial to also post about this on Mastodon and not that much effort make a post on it in Lemmy.

I got it to work through the Lemmy web interface before but can’t make it work now. Equally, I can’t get their profile up to follow on Mastodon.

I don’t know the cause of that but it might be an issue with that instance or federation in general.

edit and now it works just fine. Keep plugging away.

Worth noting that, as I posted the link above, the profile now appears below my post.

Update: i failed miserably, i tried to search this entry https://mstdn.social/@Argyle13@xarxa.cloud/110615667838401899

That looks like too much… stuff in the URL.

It looks like:

• you are on mastdn.social
• trying to view the user: @Argyle13@xarxa.cloud
• whose link would be something like: https://xarxa.cloud/@Argyle13
• making them: Celia Valdeolmillos
• the post ID would then, I assume, be: 110615667838401899

edit: and just to say that using the link above in the way I demonstrated gets that user’s profile brought through.

In the web interface, search “all” with the link. Worked for me

There’s a few more that I list here.

You could try sub.rehab for a list of sub equivalents.

It has a direct messaging system but there are privacy concerns and Lemmy has the option of adding your Matrix account details to.your.profile that then creates a secure message link to Matrix (which then gives you a choice of three apps to use). It’s all very seamless and I’d recommend it to everyone.

There’s a space in your settings for your Matrix username and that creates a secure messages link in your profile, so Matrix is a key part of Lemmy, providing end-to-end encrypted messaging (a bit like WhatsApp but you don’t need to give anyone your phone number, so, yeah, like.IRC and XMPP back in the day).

I also argue here that it should be useful for moderator teams on lathe communities as you can create private spaces and rooms within it to thrash out any issues.

That’s right:

Communities = subreddits = magazines

I do find “magazines” confusing and think communities works a lot better, but I’m on Lemmy and someone on kbin might think the opposite. I’ve seen comments on Reddit that both are confusing and they should both be called “subreddits”… 🤷

You can run the bridge yourself or Element One is a paid-for app that runs a number if bridges.

You can bridge from Matrix to Discord.
