    help a brother out… I created a lemm.ee account, but when i tried to login on monyet.cc I wasn’t able to? had to create a new one

    so this ‘room’ is not like ‘subreddit’?

      Ohh, you’re basically creating an account on one email provider but trying to login via another.

      The “community” is like “subreddit”, and “instance” is like “reddit”, but instead of simply walled up, it’s like reddit able to visit and comment on another reddit-lookalike, but still have to sign up on reddit itself.

        ah… no wonder, thanks for the clarification.

        so everytime i joint a new instance i need to create a new account right?

          you can search for communities on other instances, and interact with them from monyet.cc. so you don’t have to create an account on every instance you find interesting communities in.

          however, quite a number of people have backup accounts on another 1 or 2 instances (in case the main instance they’re using ever experiences some downtime), so if you want to do that, it’s fine.

          iirc, this guide by dcx used to have screenshots showing you exactly how to search, but I think they’ve been removed. it’s still recommended reading though.

          probably a good rule of thumb would be: search for communities like !fediverse@lemmy.ml on the communities page; for posts/comments (via direct url), use the search page.

          have fun exploring the fediverse!

            omgg thanks! i like how it covered how to turn on dark mode as well.

            the UI definitely takes a while to get used to, hopefully i’ll master it in a week’s time.

          you can use your lemm.ee to join any community from any instances . for example to join this community from there you put in https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected], and there’ll be a subscribe (at the top right usually). for another example, https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected] brings you to https://mander.xyz/c/archaeology by going through lemm.ee .

          once you have subscribed to enough communities, if you go to lemm.ee and change the tab from local to subscribed, it will populate the page with posts from all the communities you have subscribed to, just like the home tab in reddit, except the posts will be from various instances and servers. You can upvote and comment and post in those communities but still through your one lemm.ee account instead of many accounts in many instances.
