    I am a very patient Apollo refugee. It may take many weeks for some servers to adapt to the ever-growing influx and for new apps to squash bugs and build out functionality. My body is ready. This is now home.

    I’m a simple man who’s been using RIF all these years.

    I came over here to avoid the drama and start fresh. But somehow there is drama going on between something called beehaw and lemmy.world? What are instances? Are they servers? What or who is being defederated? Somehow I just joined but I’m shadowbanned cuz I registered on lemmy.world?

    The text box bugs out and trying to type in a new line jumps to some random point in the previous line in Jerboa? Kinda wonky

    I dunno I hope all this shit gets sorted out cuz I wanna settle so I hope all involved parties sort out this bs

      What are instances? Are they servers?

      Yes, each instance hosts differents communities, like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, but through federation they are able to communicate between each other. For their respective users, that means to be able to read, comment, post and vote in every community inside their instances.

      But somehow there is drama going on between something called beehaw and lemmy.world?

      Not really dramatic, lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works have a simple registration process, which means it can be very easy to sign up bots, beehaw prefers a more rigid sign up process, where they can better curate their community.

      What or who is being defederated?

      Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works until all of them have better mod tools to deal with the sudden influx of users. Defederated means that users between them can’t read new comments and posts, and vote in the other community, leaving only the post and comment copies that existed before the defederation.

      Somehow I just joined but I’m shadowbanned cuz I registered on lemmy.world?

      Servers were overloaded, the usual growing pains in a new plataform.

      I recommend Liftoff and wefwef instead. Jerboa is the Lemmy’s creators side project, so it isn’t their primary focus. wefwef is a progressive web app (PWA) so you might not find it the play/app store.

    I just hop over to another instance federated with lemmy.world so the content never stops. The fact that one instance can go down but the idea and collected communities remain up on others that are all connected together is tits, man.
