You can do that on browser if you know the community name and instance it’s on. For instance if you’re on lemmy.world and wanted to go to c/spaceporn on Lemmy.fmhy.ml you could just enter lemmy.world/c/[email protected] and it’ll bring you to the community through your instance.
Or if you search for !spaceporn in your instances community search tab, it’ll bring it up too.
It’s not elegant, but it makes it easier than searching through a bunch of other similar named communities.
I have a similar situation right now, with an entire community.
A while ago, I made /c/breath_of_the_wild and I've been creating a post almost every day. Those posts do show up on kbin.social so THAT one synced already, but even tho the community itself also exists on lemmy.ml there isn't a single visible post yet.
I've been told that it will eventually sync on its own, but no idea how long it will take. I guess the Fediverse is a bit overwhelmed right now, with all of the ex-redditors suddenly joining.
I don't know if it is the same problem, but startrek.website had an issue with the language selection settings that made us miss out on a LOT of posts. The issue was only the default (unetermined, or whatever it says...) was selected, but English had not been enabled. Once our admins added English as an option, the other posts showed up fine.
Yes, it's supposed to be visible on every instance that's federated with your own. It can sometimes take some time to sync between servers though, and I'd expect it to stay like that for a while. There will likely be improvements to the process once everyone's sorted out the recent surge of new users.
Either are good. I found Lemmy.world more intuitive right off the bat, compared to KBin.social, from the browser on mobile (iPhone). Once I figured on how to turn on some accessibility settings on KBin (basically labels for all the things), I began enjoying KBin a lot more. KBin has more options for customization, and Lemmy is intuitive but doesn’t have that customization yet. Both still have a lot of development needed. Im probably going to stick with Lemmy for a bit because even with the customization that KBin offers, Lemmy is still easier for me to use, because I’m already used to Lemmy now
Having been in a similar situation to you, I say go for it. Arch taught me the basics about Linux that I think everyone should know to understand what Nix does under the hood, but as soon as I saw how well NixOS worked on my secondary machine I switched my primary over and I'm not regretting it in the slightest.
That's not to say Arch is a bad distro, in fact I'd say 99% of my Linux knowledge comes from that excellent community, it really is KISS, but it makes no secret out of what this actually means: making it simple for the maintainer by delivering an almost untouched upstream, which I agree brings the ecosystem forward as it pushes toward a bazaar model where everything works together without the distributor doing too much work of their own. But if you want to keep a system clean in the long run, at one point you realize that you need a system like Ansible (which for me retrospectively has shortcomings that can only be fixed in the underlying system) or Nix integrated in your base system, which NixOS does.
Well, if it helps you, if there's no urgent need to switch, you don't need to, you're missing out on some good stuff but nothing that can't be done during the next setup or so. I had to reinstall anyways at one point, initially thinking it'd be Arch again, and then after testing NixOS decided to go that route, the Secure Boot functionality with Lanzaboote was a strong plus. On the other hand, adding your own packages to Arch is somewhat easier I feel, they're both good distributions, you're not making a mistake with running either of them.
As an adult I’m only gaining more and more friends tbh. Sure some old ones are lost but a partner is no replacement for a few good friendship circles. If you’re putting all your social needs on one person, that’s a lot of pressure and they are unlikely to be able to fulfill that role, nor are you for them.
Your partner can be your best friend, but they shouldn’t be your only friend
It’s interesting to see people still think that adulthood needs to be lonely. Think a lot of that stems from older generations giving their entire lives to work. But your experience is really similar to mine. My partner and I both have made more friends as we have gotten older than ever before. Weird how that works out
I mean while that may be true, reddit is still providing a benchmark. old.reddit still works on desktop and mobile, so unlike reddit when it was new, lemmy has competiton.
Before Reddit there was digg and the users left for Reddit because digg was the one pulling shenanigans back then. Reddit definitely had competition even back then.
