(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!)

Why didn't you mention Jebora or the iOS app? People are into apps, makes things easier and quicker. For example, I never would have transfered to Lemmy if it wasn't for Jebora.

Thanks for the info! Been here for a few days but it can still be a little confusing.

[–] billbennett@mastodon.nz 2 points 1 year ago

@unsunny that link doesn’t appear to work

[–] PiedPipetter@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I was confused by "instance instances" in the first starred note.

[–] JesusTheCarpenter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Really well put together. Very succinct but with enough information to get people started.

I find that for not tech people trying to deal with such terms like fediverse, kbin, Lemmy, instance, protocol might be quite overwhelming and even off-putting. I am saying this because I used to do software development and still took me a bit to get my head around it.

join the same communities together

Let me make sure I have this right:

  • there are separate Lemmy instances
  • I can chat with other people from other instances (like email)

If I wanted to join the same communities as a friend, do I need to sign up for another instance or do communities 'live' on multiple instances? For instance, a community on 'cats.' If there is one on {instance1} and {instance2}. They aren't the same, right?

@rickcooker@beehaw.org @unsunny@beehaw.org to add onto what was said, the cool thing about the fediverse is that it's all interoperable:
i am currently replying from my own self-hosted akkoma instance. this is more of a twitter-like microblogging software, that i'm running on a server i rent with a few friends. with it, i can't really browse lemmy/kbin communities yet, because akkoma doesn't yet have support for those, but i can reply and read content from users, and i believe even follow communities! and i can also follow video creators on peertube, or on the instagram-like pixelfed, whichever instance they use, because it's all the same protocol, so i don't have to sign up there :)

Questions:

join the same communities popular posts will only live on specific instances

The Jerboa for Lemmy app can communicate with several different servers including Beehaw (but not yet Known). I'm using it right now!

[–] not_a_dog@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It works with any federated Lemmy server, of which I think there's over a thousand, now.

[–] Hellebert@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Looks like you can just type an address in which is great. It's a shame they didn't include KBin in the preset list in the big update we just had though.

[–] em2@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They didn't? Under instances, I see kbin.social listed.

[–] Hellebert@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's interesting because I have the update and KBin.social is definitely not listed nor can you manually type it in to work either.

[–] em2@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah, my mistake. I'm on lemmy.ml and just noticed you're on beehaw.org.

When I wanted to add a specific community from kbin I pasted the entire url into my search bar. It'll take a little bit to find it and sync, but it's now recognized it my instance. Maybe give that a try?

*Edit: https://beehaw.org/instances has kbin.social listed.
