This is not a good thing. Part of the problem is third-party apps like Sync and other Fediverse advocates that direct Reddit users to sign up on only one instance, lemmy.world. This is understandable to keep things simple for the Redditors but it hurts lemmy.world (cost and performance-wise) and the Fediverse as a whole (centralization) to have a lot of accounts on one instance. I hope lemmy.world can make an announcement or guide to encourage users to spread out to more instances.

Guys we need more activity on the One Piece communities. I'm one of two people who actually posts there
I'm the only contributor so far on the [email protected] community I created.. r/vans was in the top 5% largest subs. Where my r/vans refugees at??
congrats from .ca!
while im here: does anybody actually know why lemmy.world grew the fastest out of all of the instances? its not the "main" instance like .ml, not a safe space like beehaw, and a normal general instance like itjust.works. im curious why out of all places, .world got the main influx
I think it was the instance referenced in the RIF goodbye message. That's what got me here, anyway.

Because on the main Lenny website world shows up as recommended. The other recommended sites want users to put an email in addition to a write up on what they can offer. Which totally kills interest for any new people.
I think the main Lenny website is to blame here tbh. It pushing users towards a few preset instances that are not really new user friendly.
Some are not accepting sign ups at all.

I did my part. By which I mean I made an account and made a single comment (well, two now.)
Still hoping to find a good comparable app to Slide for Reddit. Liftoff for Lemmy has fairly similar comment layout at least.
Nobody mentioned Thunder so I'm going to mention it!
Nevermind heard of it. What's your opinion?
Like how's it compare to the others?

Still trying to figure out how get subreddit equivalents set up. Everything on my home page is the same "fuck soez" message.
Subscribe to the communities you want. I usually do so by visiting one directly, like https://lemmy.world/c/technology. Once there, the sidebar has a button for it.

I’m getting older, so my speed at picking up new tech is a little slower than it used to be, but I’m finding my footings.
From my limited interaction so far, I think what also happens is that there are lot’s of different servers to connect to, and each server can have it’s own “sub-reddit” which are called communities. For example, lemmy.world might have a “showerthoughts” community, but another server like “sh.itjustworks” can also have a “showerthoughts” community. When you subscribe to a community, you subscribe to that servers instance… so depending on which server community you subscribe to, might not be the most active one. at least that’s how I have pieced it together. Please someone correct me if I am waaaaaaaay off!
Go to "communities", select "all" and search for the subreddit equivalents you want. Then you can subscribe to them - their posts will be visible when you browse by "subscribed" on the main page. "Subscribed" is basically the equivalent of "Home" on reddit.
Make sure to set your subscribed communities as your default view if you get tired of seeing the same local posts from your instance.
Amen
Yup! F Spez, once I'm done saving some of my reddit content I'll let him know just that. I did already report him for help, incase he gets suicidal thoughts. He deserves to watch it burn. 😂
