I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I honestly don’t know, but if I had to hazard a guess, it would be being able to interact with the Beehaw crowd.
Are other lemmy instances not federated with beehaw?
As far as I’m aware, only lemmy.world and some other instance I forgot the name of got defederated by them.
That sucks and seems pretty short sighted :/
Does this mean posts from beehaw will not be in my lemmy feed, or is it simply I cannot interact with those posts in such a way that beehaw users would see?
Beehaw will still be in the feed unless Lemmy defederates from them too. The comments you leave on beehaw posts will not be viewable to beehaw users though.
