My lemmynsfw only shows whack celebrity photos. What am I doing wrong?
Enabling NSFW is probably most of it, but I also blocked the user Madness (or something like that) who posts most of the celeb spam, and my feed has been 100% better.
Are you logged in? Most of the NSFW stuffs wonβt show up if youβre not logged in and hasnβt enable NSFW in your account
Same I have this one and a lemmynsfw for y'know reasons...
What's the benefit of a separate login? I guess maybe if you comment on NSFW posts then people don't see it when they look at a comment you made on a normal post. Anything else?
If you spend most of your time at work scrolling then it can be useful to have everything NSFW on a separate feed
One. Isn't that kind of the point?
I think having Lenny and a kbin account is reasonable. If one goes down you can use the other.
Fair enough. Personally I'd probably just lurk until my instance was back up, but I could see it being worth having a backup.
I'm happy with the one instance I'm on. The admin's a nice guy and we agree well on policies.
I dunno, Max P. You may have a falling out with the admin at max-p.me. Better be careful.
Remember to get your admin a little treat every now and then to keep them happy.
One. I am a dumb dumb and don't quite understand the point of being on multiple instances. Also so many of them are weirdly... ideological??
Mostly just to explore, and overtime it'll become less important once the game of defederation-chicken cools down. The only other reason I see might be if a particular instance is blocked from Lemmy.world but you want to see the content still.
I'm happy where I am and don't really feel the need to use any other ones.
having an account on a non crowded instance will give you better performance. less lag, less downtime, etc.
you can pick one that is near you for optimal latency.
Just the one (on lemmy.world). Any more would get confusing.
Might possibly get a porn one, but sooner or later I will end up posting a long, technical post on road safety or something similar as @pantycumslutboi or something similar..... which could be interesting and amusing for other participatns in that discussion
I'm on 5 instances, primarily for redundancy just in case an instance experiences hiccups I could login to another.
- lemm.ee for the first, then realized programming.dev existed. And, since I'm a programming dev, it made sense to sign up there. So, here I am.
I signed up on Sopuli.xyz and thatβs it. I havenβt really had a need to sign up on another instance.
One is enough (lemmy.world) unless I need an alt for a specific instance
lemmy.world for my main interests, lemmynsfw for porn and lemmy.ml as a backup for lemmy.world since they often had issues recently. but since lemmy.ml os so restrictive in terms of nsfw i usually don't really use it.
In terms of Lemmy, I'm just on Lemmy.world, I have no real reason to sign up for something else. I'm also on Mastodon, though.
Three. I originally signed up on lemmy.world because it was the big one, made an account on lemmynsfw.com for... reasons, then learned that clustering on one instance is a bad idea and made an account, which is now my main, on Midwest.social
I refuse to even try to join midwest.social out of a very petty protest. Fuckers are pretending Missouri ain't the midwest! You're stuck with us, whether you like it or not!
~~get me out~~
The midwest is named after the Midwest Territory. Missouri was never part of the Midwest Territory
discuss.online has been great. It's small, fast and in the US where I live.
I'm also on lemmy.world but it's slow with a lot of down time.
I'm also on a few others for redundancy and reasons.
- Lemmy.one, for a broad normie experience. Kbin, idk I was trying it out but like lemmy better. Lemmygrad and hexbear.net because they're not widely federated.
Only 2 that I'm active on. Lemmy and Firefish. Both are hosted on tchncs.de
I had another Lemmy account but the server suddenly disappeared. And I moved from mastodon on mas.to to firefish. I may move back. I like the functionality of Antennas but I also miss a single feed for people and hashtags.
- my kbin.cafe is going to be for writing
- my universeodon.com will be for the same
- my Lemmy.world I used just once for debugging
- my reddthat.com was where I thought I would settle, but
- the instance mod over at lemmy.myserv.one posted a reddit post requesting more users for his load-distributing instance, and I was like: "well that's reason enough to switch."
My only complaint is that this place isn't federated with beehaw. I think Reddthat was federated with them?
Two, programming dev and kbin social
You only really need to sign up for one, you can subscribe to communities on any other instances.
Feddit.uk as my main and one on lemmy.world to start any general communities on here and act as a back-up in case of disasters.
I have accounts on several instances, but only use one of them.
Just like opening an account on an email provider to gauge the quality of the service+features, I went instance hopping until I found one that felt right.
Right now, all other accounts are sleeper accounts. I have them kind of sorted out so that if my current instance goes down or is knocked out of the air, I'll just log in to the next sleeper account.
I currently use lemmy.world and i also have a mastodon account from 2 years ago i never use
Three. lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, and lemmynsfw
lemmy.ml because I was a relatively early adopter in the reddit migration. sh.itjust.works because they're the largest instance I'm aware of that defederates the fewest other instances. If there were a large instance that didn't defederate anyone, I'd definitely join.
sh.itjust.works is what I consider my "main" account currently, but unfortunately beehaw has the largest gaming community, so I have to keep a lemmy.ml tab open for it too. I use lemmy.ml on the living room computer so there isn't porn on the tv all day.
Either way, it's handy to have accounts on at least two different instances for when your main instance is down.
At first I had an account on kbin.social but I didn't like not having an app so I moved to Lemmy.world. I also have mander.xyz as a backup, and szmer.info for local things.
Lemmy.ml, but wondering about migrating to some other instance because I can't log in here, have just this Jerboa session, besides lemmy I use mastodon.cloud
I have Lemmy.film as a backup with mirrored subs cause Im a little worried after my og instance Vlemmy just vanished
Just two but I'm kicking around the idea of firing up my own today. I'm just not sure I want to sacrifice the anonymity to port this username onto my own domain.
I donβt see the point in having that many, but I just have the one from sh.itjust.works and quickly created my own.
