I have been using Lemmy for about 6 months and truth be had I am still really completely lost on the structure.
But that really doesn’t matter. I have found the communities (I thought they were called instances) that have the content I enjoy and they are reasonably active.
That is has been the biggest surprise for me, so many communities are completely dead. There is one movie community. Whose last post was 1.5 years ago.
I think the strength of the federated model also works against it. It really delutes the community’s content.
Also Lemmy is a total dead zone for any sports discussion. I have discovered an NFL community that seems active but I found it at the end of those year’s season.
!movies@piefed.social?
No that one is the most active of all the ones I have checked out. It tends to have daily activity.
I have unsubbed to a lot of communites that were dead, so I don’t have a link.
Oh sorry, I misread, I thought you meant “one movie community” as if that was the only community on the Fediverse about movies.
The instance is the part after the @. They host users and communities. Admins manage the instance.
The community is the thing you subscribe to. Moderators manage the community.
Thank you so much!!!
That is exactly what I never grasped!
