Lemmy is confusing and poorly limited. How does Lemmy work? Why are there so many Lemmy clones? Do I have to sign up for each of them? Does my post show on each of them?
First please don't ban me I'm new.
lemmy.world, lemmy.ml , lemmy.xxx, lemmy.whatever, etct... + hundreds of clones. Is each of these a Reddit by itself containing many subreddits inside it?
Does that mean if someone in lemmy.xxx/c/jokes posted something interesting that I wont even see it because I'm signed up in lemmy.yyy/c/jokes ?
That is quite a weakness of lemmy compared to reddit. Can I post on lemmy.yyy if I signed up for lemmy.xxx or do I have to sign up for each of them?
Which one should I sign up for?
How can I see all lemmy posts in one place? I can't believe no one has found a solution to this yet and just let hundreds of clones post repeated things. Also how is each moderated? Is lemmy.yyy moderated by sensitive snowflakes who ban anyone who cusses or offends anyone, while lemmy.xxx is ran by racist nazis? How does this work?
Edit: Thank you I read all comments and thank you some where very helpful. and I hope things get improved and added with time. here for the long ride
It’s not a single website like Reddit or twitter. It’s a network of interconnected ”instances”. You can view and access and comment on any of the content from any one of them from from any other of them. So you only need one account. You can even subscribe to communities that are based on a difference instance from you.
For example I am commenting here from an account on feddit.uk but this post is on Lemmy.world
Understood that far, but how can I see all the memes posted by all lemmy.nnn/c/memes in one place so that I see the top ones? where nnn is ml/world/xxx/etc. I really wish I just solve this one issue
It sounds like you thinking of multi-reddit style. No such thing exists yet.
Just subscribe to all of them. You're not limited to just one.
The closest solution is go and subscribe to each lemmy.nnn/c/memes separately, then go home page and hit the Subscribed tab filter. However downside is it will also show posts from other subs I subscribed to. Still not bad
Yeah.
A great future feature might be multiple subscription lists you can keep separate.
Early days, could easily happen.
