I'm a noob. I created an account on beehaw and on lemmy.ml. That's because I see communities on one instance that I'm interested in and a different community on another instance. So if there's a technology community on both, how do I get to see all the technology posts without having to have two accounts?

This is really confusing for noobs like me. I'd just like to see one community to technology, one for Science, one for nintendo etc. I don't care it it's spread out amongst different servers to divvy up the load, but from the user side, it needs to be seamlessly integrated.

I'm still learning how all this works though. But I don't know how many folks that are more casual than me will be willing to figure it out. I hope they do though! It'll be worth it to leave reddit in the rearview mirror!

Edit: lawdy, I just figured it out. Local vs all on the communities list. It was right in front of my face. good grief!

Can I login to another instance with my lemmy.ml account? Or do I need multiple accounts?

Hi,

I setup my account on lemmy.ca. But it seems I cannot sign into lemmy.ml with this account (just getting busy spinning circle. On a high level I want to subscribe to some of the communities on lemmy.ml.

Thanks

First post for me!

Sorry, I applied and got approved here. Still waiting to hear back from beehaw…

I’m really digging this UI compared to Reddit, but I am 99.9% a mobile user via the native Reddit app (don’t @ me!)

I am very tempted to setup my own instance. Wondering what resource usage looks like for an instance.

Did my part and created an instance in the hopes of offloading some of the bigger instances: https://rammy.site

No clue if and how I should promote it, though. Looks like it's just me for now.
