I've joined here because I think Reddit's quality is going to tank after June 30, but I downloaded Jerboa and it doesn't seem to accept my credentials, regardless of instance. I'm confused.

The "funny" (mocking) content will get stale.

Twitter is still thriving? O_o

Wait - how come in Firefox, and not Chrome? (I say this as someone who primarily works using Chrome, as my workplace operates in the ice age and half the time Firefox acts stupid)

you created the account on, in this case, lemmy.world.

Oh hey! I didn't know you could manually enter the instance - I thought you had to choose It let me log in! Thanks so much for the tip! :)

It's all a bit confusing, and ironically I wish there was a sub like r/NoStupidQuestions where I could ask for help. A few people have replied to me to tell me how the instances work, but I need an ELI3 or something, haha! Thank you for letting me know that it's likely just a bug. Will see how this smooths over in the months ahead. :)

Do you know if old.reddit is going to be vanquished as well?

When I talked to my Discord group, they asked for a source. Ironically, I can't access the threads with all the logistical explanations of why old.reddit would be eliminated (because... they've gone private), and while yes, an official source/confirmation would actually give them cause to be angry (I totally get it - no one wants to think they can't use old.reddit any longer), it's frustrating to see they're not accepting it.

I'm trying to use the app to browse when I'm not at a computer. I've seen mentions of "Jerboa" but it won't accept my login credentials. I've tried all three instances, no dice. Any suggestions? I use Android phone the most, but open to apps for iOS.

It's just a PR notice.

Yes I did...

Please don't attack me personally like this

/s

There's nowhere near the amount of activity on Lemmy as there is (er, was?) on Reddit. But of course Lemmy is still in its infancy (comparative to Reddit, which has a collaborative seventeen year history behind all the threads/subs).

It's a very good sign to see that perhaps we collectively just need to be patient, give it some time, and Lemmy could thrive.

Man, it's difficult trying to jump-start a community. Here I am, sitting over at !adopted in case it ever takes off several months or years from now. Maybe !adoption would've been a better bet haha.

Something something multiple instances (if you register with Beehaw, you can't access threads to Lemmy/lemmy.ml)...

The first local instance I signed up before I fully understood/realized what I was doing was focused on getting together a Chinese or Chinese American instance.

Sort of unrelated to the general "Hey - I can't seem to log onto the app" enquiry, but I would be interested in helping out to evolve a Chinese instance. I'm not American, but am interested in trying to be a part of the Pan-Asian community.

On Lemmy.world? Or Lemmy.ml?

... I'm really confused about these different sites/instances/defederation.

Did you manage to figure it out?

Beehaw defederated at the start of the recent big Reddit migration

Can I get an ELI3? Haha.

That's awesome. :P

I don’t see a win here…

That a jerkwad has taken over Reddit and will, in all likelihood, force it to become a paid cesspool.
