Hello World!
First off, better late than never: Happy Halloween!
Sorry we've been a bit quiet lately. But we love you, promises given! We're just working on a lot of things, and most of us are very busy with their daily lives lately. We'll be back with you to announce some of our projects tomorrow. <3
Lately, and gladly, here's a grand thanks to @canthidium@lemmy.world for giving us an amazing Halloween icon!
You are hosted by reddthat.com. When you signed up for that account, you signed up to be on that server and follow their rules.
Specifically for Lemmy types (not Mastodon, not Peertube, etc.), it impacts what you see on your front page. Reddthat decides what that is. It also impacts if certain other instances can interact with you depending on what your admins and the other admins have decided. For instance, my account is hosted on Lemmy.World but Beehaw defederated (made it so they don't receive any updates of comments or posts) from Lemmy.world when Reddit shit the bed, so they wouldn't have an influx. We and they don't see each other's stuff. Lemmy.world has defederated from explodingheads and a few others because of attacks on lemmy.world users, they weren't playing nice. So we don't see any of their stuff and they don't see ours.
Yes, it's kind of like a neighborhood. The good ones keep the trolls out and show what you want on your front page. Some people like bad neighborhoods, so if you like one of those, seek that out. If you seek a bad neighborhood, most people won't be able to see or interact with you though.
Yes, as I said before, some instances have defederated from each other, so that will impact what you see. Think of it as some people have made their instance (subreddit) private and you have to meet certain criteria to get in.
Feel free to ask more questions. If I can't answer, someone else probably will.
Is there a way to navigate lemmy that will show me everything?
Appreciate the straight forward answers.
Sort of, on the liftoff mobile app, you can. There are probably other apps as well. You have to sign up for all of those instances that cover what you want to see though, then input them into the app. The app can get fussy when you do this, but it lets you see everything and you can easily switch to instance you want to post from.
If you mean every instance, then not that I'm aware of. Someone might know of a developer that lets you at least see every instance. I doubt there is one that you can comment and post on every one.
