Aww man, no auto-play of gifs? OK…

The three parallel horizontal lines in the top right next to the bell icon.

I haven’t heard anything either. They are probably slammed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can still subscribe to and post to their communities from here. You don’t actually need a user on beehaw.org

Open the hamburger menu, then click the search icon and put !gaming@beehaw.org in the search box and click search. You’ll then be able to look at that community from lemmy.ml, and in the sidebar you can subscribe. You can also up and downvote, comment, etc.

Replace gaming with whatever community you are trying to join. Also beehaw.org is just an example. You can “join” any instance that isn’t currently blocked by lemmy.ml AFAIK.

I’ve only been here a day or so, but having to search for the community doesn’t seem that bad? It’s almost exactly like searching for a subreddit to join.

/r/subreddit turns into !community@address, like !gaming@beehaw.org

And once you are on that community you can open the sidebar and subscribe (join in Reddit terms).

Well, my understanding is your user exists on whatever instance you signed up on. You could technically create users on every single instance, but that is not necessary. You only need one user to exist somewhere, and then you can subscribe to, and post to communities on other instances.

For example: from lemmy.ml, if you search for !gaming@beehaw.org you can then open the sidebar and subscribe to, and post to, the gaming community on beehaw.org with your lemmy.ml user.

!gaming@beehaw.org is not the same community as !gaming@lemmy.ml

Same here! I was starting to think my application was rejected. So I signed up here on lemmy.ml and was approved fairly quickly.

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.
