I know this will take some time to get used to, but I am using the Voyager app. I am confused on what local communities in comparison to the federate communities.

I’m also not sure why there are so many different apps for Lemmy because now I feel like I should be checking them all out, but Voyager is very similar to Apollo for Reddit so I feel most comfortable here.

What is an instance?

And how long will I be able to share photos? Since my account is one day old I can’t upload any pictures.

I’ll have more questions, but I can’t think of them right now, thanks in advance!

Voyager is essentially an Apollo clone. And, if you liked Apollo to begin with as opposed to other options, you'll primary probably end up back on voyager. But there's no reason to not try others. You aren't obligated to, for sure, and you should wait a few days if you decide to check things out, but why not try new stuff eventually?

Iirc lemm.ee has a two or three day limit for pic uploads as an anti spam thing. So it won't be long.

lemm.ee currently has a 4 week waiting period for image posting with a 500kB limit after that, as per their sidebar.

Long, but understandable I think. It's dependent on donations and sponsorships, and images in a fast growing community are server storage intensive

Much appreciated
