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.
Lemmy really isn’t complicated… You create an account in an instance and can access all content from all instances. You can add groups to your home feed by subscribing to them, it’s just like joining a subreddit.
what confuses me is being on one domain, then clicking ‘view context’ on a comment and it’s on another domain that I don’t have JS enabled for and am not signed into
It’s not that complicated, but it’s not presented particularly well imo. I’m still getting used to it, and it took a minute to realize how content is kind of brought in to view, if that makes sense.
