lol you’re right

The king can move right one?

lemmy, kbin and mastodon are federated but you can't log into each app with an account from another platform. You can post to lemmy from your mastodon server, but not log into beehaw.org.

The lemmy ui is removing websockets in the next update replacing it with a REST API. I suspect that will stop any new posts from popping to the top after load.

People seem to not want new posts and comments moving things around on their page anyway.

A lemmy instance will only show communities that someone’s has previously searched using the full url. You can find a list of all available instances here: http://browse.feddit.de/

One of the downsides seems like since the developer packages everything together, I’m reliant on them to push out changes. For example if some dependency needs a critical security update then I’m relying on every flatpak author to apply that change and push out a new version. But if I’m installing packages directly, I can update that one package and be done with it across my system.

If nobody from your instance is already subscribed, then you can only search for the community by the full url. I wrote a bit more about this here: https://lemmy.directory/post/34207

Thanks for this insightful post. I agree that the fediverse feels different and that’s ok. It’s exciting to get the chance to build something new and be a part of it starting.

Can I only create a community on the instance I joined, or can I also create a community elsewhere?

You can only create a community on the instance you have an account on, but people from other instances will still be able to follow and post to it.

I think that's right. A request for deletion gets made and it's up to each server to decide if they will honor it.

You might be able to save the website as a progressive web app to your home screen?
