There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here’s a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

    I’m not really understanding how communities work across servers. I was able to create /c/Nintendo, as well as subscribe to /c/Nintendo from lemmy.world. I can comment in either, but when I go to the one from lemmy.world from lemmy.ca I can only see my comment and none of the other comments in that thread.

      it looks like you’re the first subscriber to that remote community. so it takes a little while for the community to sync up. usually a few hours?

        Ah ok, it looks to be working now. So I’m guessing once it’s “linked” it should be synced regularly?

          yep, posts & comments are pushed, so it should be near-instant, usually.
