Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

(Reminder: if you have shared the original version in a public post with an old version up, replacing it with this one might be more helpful.)

I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement.

Feel free to share this poster as you wish, especially on Reddit. All I ask is that you respect the license and don’t remove my socials at the bottom. If anyone’s addition is included, I’ll credit them, and if this gets added onto (or translated) by someone else later, they can add their info as well.

I hope someone can find it useful with the subreddit blackouts right around the corner.

I want to thank the Beehaw admins so much for their amazing work!

(Poster edited; I spotted a duplicated word, mrmanager@lemmy.today noted the lack of whitespace; current version is slightly larger and has been spaced out. You can still request the 800x2000 size, but know it is a little squished.)

(Edit 2: Removed defederation part as it’s not really required. The email analogy blackcoffee@beehaw.org suggested has been added, thanks!)

(Edit 3: Here’s another version making the interconnectivity a bit clearer and mentioning some cool-looking reader apps that have been suggested! Also made the image slightly longer for ease of viewing. I might do some small cosmetic changes tomorrow)

(Edit 4 is here with the date updated towards the bottom. This version contains a reminder to verify your email, lets people know why mlem isn’t showing up on App Store searches, and added fedia.io to Kbin instances. Some colors have been changed slightly to be more mobile friendly, as this is written and edited from a phone tablet. If you have a hard time reading this because of the changes, please let me know. Thank you all for the help and tips!)

Related question for all you experts: if I have an account on both (for example) lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, what is effectively the difference between them if I can view content from any federated instance?

Saving this for when I need to explain to people the differences.

What a great infographic, thank you!

Great post. Mind if I repost on subreddits that are open during the blackout?

[–] unsunny@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely, that’s what it’s there for!

Fantastic job. I wanted to do something similar this weekend, but life kind of got in the way and I was pretty bummed that I couldn’t get it out the door. It makes me really happy to see that someone had the same thought! There was a big need for something like this.

You’re a bad ass!

You could mention that Fedia.io is an alternative to kbin.social, as kbin.social is starting to get overwhelmed.

[–] unsunny@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for letting me know!

[–] BlackCoffee@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Is the target group people who know what servers and/or instances are or not?

Otherwise I would go up one layer and put in the comparison more users have made about having an mailadres user1@gmail.com and being able to communicate with accounts who also have user1@yahoo.com etc.

It gives users who are not familiar an idea of the concept.

first comment. it took me waaaaaay too long to realize I had to go all the way to the bottom to reply.

[–] dirtmayor@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I really like this, nice work 🙂

Great post, looks awesome.

Extremely useful & consice! Thanks for the work ~

Can someone clarify for me - can I 'add' a kbin community to the Lemmy instance I'm on in the same way as any other community? For the first time I'd need to type !news@kbin.social for example (if no-one else had already added that community in my instance)? I ask because I tried to do that, and it doesn't come up under the listed communities. But maybe that's because kbin is overloaded?

I cant add my account on mlem. I wonder if I am putting in the correct information for homepage.
