Active enough considering the scale of the community.

Hey! Didn’t even know you could ping people. I’m not super active but I’m here every so often. What’s up?

I’m all for defederating Hexbear, but lemmy.ml is absolutely huge compared to Hexbear. To motivate the community to do that you’d need quite a bit of proof. Or at least something rather compelling. Do you have any proof of what you’re referring to?

Absolutely. I never meant to suggest otherwise. I’m just saying, people should spend more time picking an instance.

I mean they’re being really clear that they plan to basically do subtle griefing of other NATO friendly instances… They’re also fueled by misinformation and perpetuates it. Honestly the web needs a little censorship. I know that if I really wanted to see them they’re other instances I could be on. This one just cleans up a little better.

As frustrating as that would be, it wouldn’t be permanent I know they’re very serious with backups. A roll back is annoying but not really that damaging.

Thanks! Now I get it.

Not quite. From what I’ve read, I think only text is downloaded, pictures and other media are just links. So not everything needs to be downloaded. Also to trigger/maintain this connection (federation) at least one person from your instance needs to be subscribed.

But you won’t find this community in the search bar because you’re not federated yet. So to trigger the initial federation you’ll need to search for the full URL, the entire URL including “https://” (https://lemdro.id/c/android) It won’t show up at first, so try again in a few seconds, and sometimes you’ll need to try a lot of times if the instances are running slowly. But eventually your instance will find the other community on the other instance.

But at the time I’m writing this lemdro.id is apparently offline so it won’t work at all right now.

It’s actually pretty straight forward once someone takes the time to explain it. I’ll try.

These ! Links are supposed to be universal I think. !futurama@lemmy.world

Then there’s the long URL, https://lemmy.ml/c/futurama@lemmy.world

First you start with your instance then /c/ just like Reddit did with r/ it means you’re looking for a community, then an @ to target another instance.

In this example I started at lemmy.ml told it I was looking for a community, then told it where the that community lives in this case lemmy.world

When searching for a community by URL use the website only. No apps currently support it yet I think.

Edit: you can also just do it in the URL like this

https://lemmy.world/c/catsubs@kbin.social

!catsubs@kbin.social

What kind of phone do you have?

Why are you going to move? Genuinely curious.

He started lemmy.world on June 1st

I’m not sure. I know lemmy.ml has been up and down ever since the Reddit blackout.

Okay I will then. But what’s the difference? And why so many linking methods?

That’s awesome! Great community by the way!

The Queen would like a word with you.

How did you make that universal link?
