First day of browsing Lemmy. So far so good. It took me a while to grasp the concept of an instance, but it seems to make sense to me now. I'm just hoping more communities start filling up and that the iOS app can get more development. Mlem is functional but veeery barebones right now. The browser works fine though!

I downloaded the app mlem and logged into this account, then I opened a link to a thing/group called "technology" or something close to that.
The top post was the was the first time in over 20 years of going online that I saw illegal images. No way to report it, no way to do anything but delete the app. Now I use the browser only. But other than that, kind of ok with a lot walls of text about social media ethics.
Edit: I found the post in the browser and reported it. It was in https://beehaw.org/c/technology

My self-hosted instance seems to be working well, but I can't figure out how to federate with other platforms such as mastodon.
I guess we'll figure it out at some point.
What kind of resource usage are you seeing on your instance? I have a droplet running and was wondering about setting up my own instance.

If you want an example of what happens when two servers block one another.
calckey.social and lemmy.one can talk to each other. So my post is visible here: https://lemmy.one/comment/33034
calckey.social can’t talk with lemmy.ml so the post isn’t on lemmy.ml
Since lemmy.ml is the home server of "asklemmy", it can’t be forwarded to other servers so no one can see it except lemmy.one and calckey.social

A lot of dipping my toes into the water atm. mostly all over the place.
There's A LOT less spam posts and reused joke comments.
Fantastic! Best software ever!
So far so good! I think I'm on the early upswing part of the learning curve. I was just allowed into the instance I wanted to be a part of, and I'm hoping to carve some fuck around time out of work over the next couple of days to figure the bits out that feel somewhat awkward to me still.
I miss the reddit way to only scroll on the main page to see content, but I know that this is not liked by most users, some prefers the old.reddit.com way

My experience has been great! I’m trying to open up and contribute more to help this place grow. I made accounts on lemmy.ml and mastodon.social. While initially it was hard trying to find people and communities to follow, I think I’ve got the hang of it and am finding new content every day! There were some good posts on Reddit that helped me find lists of Mastodon users and Lemmy communities. By the end of the month I’ll be telling all my friends to hop on and helping them with the migration.
