I’m really upset about this. I really enjoyed it over there.

Ah, got it. Thanks for linking that information!

Still trying to “find my place” here but I am enjoying the whole thing. Lots of awesome discussions popping up and great conversation here.

I’m going to miss r/guitar and r/guitar lessons. As someone who just started getting back into playing guitar, those two subreddits were ESSENTIAL treasure troves of tips, information, and guides to learning, practicing and enjoying guitar. Hoping to find / develop something similar on Lemmy…

I’m super excited for the potential this has. Happy to be here and hoping to help build a great online community with you all!

I’ve been bouncing between Lemmy and Tildes to see which I prefer. I am having a hard time with deciding. I vastly prefer how Lemmy has the reply to a post box right underneath the body of the post, whereas Tildes requires you to scroll to the bottom of ALL comments to make your own reply.

I like that Lemmy has the ability to create a ton of different communities and sub-communities. Tildes has like ~music, but nothing below that (like ~metal or ~indie). So Lemmy seems to have more of a curated community feel.

I think I like the UI of Tildes more, as of now, but Mlem is a promising app (I just wish there were notifications for comments to my posts/replies on the app. Maybe someday!)

Holy shit, thank you for this explanation! This was the simplest way I have ever seen it explained and was super helpful. Very appreciated!

Ah, thanks for linking to the Mlem community. I asked it there, but based on the GitHub link you shared, it’s probably just a matter of the dev needing to implement it and hasn’t been able to yet. I think I’ll just continue with the web app for now.

I have a question that’s probably more specific to using Mlem to access Lemmy instances. How can I use that app to see notifications on Lemmy? I had a bunch of responses to a comment I made and had no idea because I was browsing on Mlem. No way to easily access my own posts/comments, nor see responses to those. I had to get into the web app to see that I had like 7 notifications.

Yes, it is. And I literally have no idea what I’m doing or what the fediverse is or how to best utilize it and I have a mastodon account but don’t use it because all of this fediverse/instance stuff stresses me out and I just want a cool community to feel like I’m a part of, not a bunch of stuff I don’t understand and I hope I can feel comfortable here with Lemmy. Oof.
