Why can’t it be as simple as fuck Facebook! I don’t want a multi billion dollar corporation playing in my sandbox.

Don’t quit unless you have a new job first. I had a friend quit first and he’s still looking over 8 months later.

We need an Andy for the MAGA one they just made as well

Get lost MAGAT!

I've been a developer for awhile and you would be surprised how many companies can't get out of their own way to improve their products.

Congrats you just said something!

Are you personally paying the server costs? How can we help subsidize?

So far I’m enjoying it! I like the stripped down design and I’m slowly figuring out the federation thing. Hopefully we can get more people from Reddit to get more content in the communities.

Edit: I've created a Tampa community for people from Tampa FL.

I think you're right. Imagining the instances as a bunch of a little reddits with their own subreddits that I can subscribe to and interact with is easier for me to wrap my head around.

Is lemmy.world connected to kbin? I'm trying to interact with their instances but it doesn't seem to work. kbin.social appears to be one of the faster growing instances. It would be nice if we could interact with them.

I really hope not. Switching to a new platform has made me realize how much I wasn’t being social on a social media site. Because of all the toxicity I was only going to a few subreddits. I’ve already created my first community here in Lemmy and I’m commenting and engaging again.

I agree that e-mail analogy doesn't make a lot of sense. Honestly just using it was the best way to learn. I'm already finding communities on other instances and commenting and engaging with them.

This just started happening to me today. I wonder if it has to do with the influx of new users creating new content. I also would like to disable the auto-refresh.

It honestly feels more like leaving a bad relationship. I didn't realize how bad things had gotten until I left.

That's a good tip! I get bored of just drinking water all day.

I’m also using the mobile site and it’s been pretty good so far. More than enough to browse around and interact.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

I assumed it was automatic. But I just searched for a community I created here from Lemmy.ml and it didn’t show up.

Thanks for all the work!

Glad you found us! I figured this is the best way to help. I deleted my reddit account awhile ago. Can you post a link to this on r/tampa? Maybe if we can get the word out this community might have a fighting chance.
