To the newcomers to the fediverse. Don’t let the last few days or even the next few be your only impression on this. When we all came over from twitter it was a shit show and nothing worked right because everything was overwhelmed. Give it a few days. It’ll get better.

    it took me 2 days to figure out how to join communities on other instances - maybe there’s documentation for it but it wasnt obvious, I had to work it out, trial and error style. loved it! felt like I accomplished something.

    reddit was too easy to use, it spoiled us to an extent.

      How do you join communities in other instances? The only thing that worked for me was typing the [email protected] into the search on the website which is a hassle. I also haven’t found a way to do the same in the app.

        yeah that’s how I’ve been doing it, tried it on the app and couldnt figure it out, then the app forgot my password so I uninstalled it and now just use the web version on my phone (there should be an “install” option for the site - I prefer chrome so i dont have to remember passwords). the same process works there but it’s cumbersome, easier to do on a pc
