    1. Makes sense. Is mirroring feasible? Happy to help there.
    2. Yeah I get it. Maybe there could be a button of servers to show, and by default it shows everything. Allow users to paste in a server list.
    3. Will do.

    Also Lemmy could use a way to easily mirror Lemmy sites to help with overloaded servers. This is actually what I thought lemmy was at first, a giant decentralized IRC-meets-Reddit.

    I think from 12-14 june all lemmy servers should have a giant “hello redditors” banner with a how-to of setup. Put instant registration servers at the top of the list. And a quick how to. Simple is best. Relax normal rules and moderation.

    I hope I’m not too critical. I see a future in lemmy but what I don’t want are redditors coming over, getting frustrated and confused, then leaving. We do well, we could very well end up being the successor to reddit. If things are buggy and difficult, not so.



  • Redditfugee here. Lemmy is like if reddit and IRC had a baby. Some honest feedback:

    • Can lemmy.ml open signups so they don’t need to be approved? At least temporarily. 90% of people are going to end up here when checking out lemmy. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get started.

    • It’s confusing how communities on other servers aren’t automatically and easily available. You can add them but they should visible from the start.

    • If you add an external community and are confused as to why it’s missing comments and posts, there should be a message to tell the user that it’s fine, it’s just syncing.
