With spez ascending the last few remaining levels of becoming an absolute wanker, it’s about time I got more active and I have been wondering how should I be using Lemmy efficiently? Like many I migrated from Reddit and I was primarly using Apollo to browse through my subscribed subreddits.

Over here on Lemmy.one, I have subscribed to communities and I scroll through my feed by sorting “All > Top Day” because sorting “All > Hot” means I end up seeing the same threads.

Then earlier today I discovered https://beehaw.org/communities where I found many communities I would love to subscribe to but then I got confused because I am also subscribed to more or less similar communities on lemmy.one.

I think I am sort of struggling to wrap my head around how lemmy really works and where I should be hanging out. It was easier on reddit in the sense that if I wanted to go LOTRmemes, there was only subreddit but here on Lemmy, there seem to be multiple instances of the same community :D

To top it off, it is proving hard to login to beehaw [probably the server is under stress] with the same details I use to login into Lemmy.one.

Not to forget there’s also Kbin which I haven’t even begun exploring. Phew.

ps - my apologies if I am sounding slightly incoherent as this is all new to me. If there is anyone out there who has this all figured out, I’d appreciate any help here.

    Now what might really cook your noodle is the info that the developers of the Lemmy software are pro-Russian genocide deniers, and there’s a growing sentiment to not support that by dropping Lemmy in favor of kbin or something else.

    Here’s the best sourced info I found on the genocide topic: https://kbin.social/m/lemmyworld@lemmy.world/t/47012/-/comment/196579

    Just as I was starting to get the hang of this, it feels like I stepped into another wasp nest.

    Ookay, then let’s look at kbin, right? Well, there’s literally only ONE developer and the current version still very much a (good) beta version. So, not kbin either, then?

    What’s left? Beehaw, who act like snowflakes and have disconnected from where growth and interesting stuff is happening?

    I feel pretty lost in the sea of the fediverse right now. Go back to Reddit? Naw, not right either.
