Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
  • Meme answer: rely on porn from one website and wait for that website to implode cough reddit cough

    Real answer: I try to limit myself to once every 2-3 days. I've found that as I get older, an orgasm takes a lot out of me and makes me much more tired. If I feel the urge to fap late at night, I try to think "nah, I'll just do it tomorrow morning" and go from there. Finding other hobbies/activities to distract is also a great way to cut back on the fap.

    Just found this community, immediately thought of this song.

    I used to listen to this song while cruising around in my Pontiac Grand Am, driving down the highway after a late night with old friends. First thing I thought about when I saw this community. Hope it fits!

    Is there a major difference between Lemmy and Beehaw (or other federated instances)?
  • Thanks for the clarification! From what I understand, it sounds like as long as all the instances stay connected, the number of communities per instance doesn't matter, but if a major instance defederates (like Beehaw I think), then you could "lose access" to the communities on the deferated instance. You can still view the content by going to that instance though, so it's not like it's the worst thing to happen.

  • It's interesting to hear that smaller instances might be faster. I saw some other posts about hosting your own instance for that reason, but I wasn't quite sure what they meant. I'll check out some smaller instances and see how that goes. Thank you!

  • I've been seeing the analogy that the Fediverse is like email, but it feels like the Fediverse is more nuanced at a glance. If my question was translated for email, I think it would be something like "What are the major differences between Outlook, Gmail, and Yahoo?" The answer being they all work similar and talk to each other fine, but they can have different features that make them somewhat unique.

    Hello everyone! Long time redditor, first time poster to Lemmy.world. As I'm learning more about the Fediverse, I'm seeing there are several instances that seem to serve the same purpose. For example, Lemmy and Beehaw seem to be similar, yet they are still separate.

    Are there any big differences or factors I should be looking for when browsing different instances? So far, it looks like the number of communities and rules are the biggest differences between instances.

    Bonus question: are there any good sources for learning more about the Fediverse? I've found these links so far:

    https://opensource.com/article/23/3/tour-the-fediverse - Gives a decent explanation of the Fediverse. https://fediverse.party/ - Provides a link to different Fediverse instances, not specific to Reddit replacements.
