Hi 🙋,
you might be in search for an reddit alternative and don’t get the Lemmy thing, yet. Lemme help you out, shortly.
- Lemmy lets you build
communities
just like you are used to. - You need an account to participate. I doesn’t matter on which server you register.
- https://feddit.org/ → German/English community
- https://feddit.uk/ → UK centric
- List of other servers
- Lemmy servers (instances) host communities and can be interconnected.
@user@example.com
can follow local or remote communities!community1@example.com
!community2@niceplace.com
- identified almost as easy as an e-Mail address.
- Following a community is called
subscribing
, you’ll find a subscribe button when browsing communities. - Subscribing will keep you noted on new posts.
- Mobile clients can make the experience more fluffy
Our community is called [email protected] but there are several likeminded communities out there. Make sure to watch out for them, e.g. by browsing an instance’s local communities. Also if you want to stick around we posted about What to expect (from this community) and Where to start (buying european).
Feel free to link this post, when onboarding people to this community.
Scrubbed the third example completely. Keeps it nice and tidy, just like the client section.
