I remember being a small child posting to forums I had no business posting to, asking obnoxious questions about building websites or talking in IRC.

I remember always expecting a response that wasn’t very happy with me. You have to start somewhere right?

Nope and never did.

Are you talking about, subscribing? Subscribe to all of the communities you want and then sort by subscribed on your home page. If you want to folow a community that isn’t on your instance, copy and paste the link to that community in your instance’s search box and subscribe to it from there.

Hm, that’s very interesting. I wonder if the platforms will build upon each other with future updates or if they’ll continue to remain “seperate” in terms of formatting and QoL. Very interested in the future of cross platform federation accounts.

I tried my best to use mastodon as a platform to post to lemmy/kbin but ran into a major problem: nested comments get lost to the ether, and there’s no way for you to reply to them using the same account.

Because of this, and basically this alone, I decided to forfeit mastodon all together and opt for a self hosted lemmy instance. I just got it set up and running this evening and so far, I’m not looking back.

Might set up another mastodon instance later, but that’s if I start to miss it.
