& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?
It’s tough, I’ll be honest. I can’t completely wrap my head around lemmy, I’m confused about seeing communities I never subrscibed to (and some I wish I didn’t have to see), and can’t fully understand how it works. It also just… doesn’t have the same things I used to follow, or at least I can’t get them to show up. I’m struggling, and honestly don’t know what to do with all that empty time. I guess it really was an addiction.
Yea it’s a little jarring at first and I didn’t get it for a bit. I’m seeing it now and how it all comes together. The instances are like smaller ‘Reddits’ that you can have different communities or ‘subreddits’. So you can have a Apple community in Lemmy.World or Lemmy.ml or other places. The cool thing is that with your one account you can access all the different places without having to make a new account

This tells you all about it.
But essentially you can access all the communities across all instances but your username is only on the instance you created it on. I’m also still a bit new at this but what I understand of it is that you cannot interact on another instance with a username from another.
Don’t ask me how to create usernames on other instances though 😅 I have not figured that out exactly. When I signed up I didn’t get an option to choose the instance I signed up to, at least that I noticed.
This was shared with me my first day & really helped a lot!
Also, one of the first things I noticed when I created my account & searching for communities was that you can actually block a community. If you didn’t want to see it, is all. I just thought that was pretty awesome considering how many times I wanted to on Reddit but couldn’t.
