Hi, do you think lemmy would be as popular as Reddit ? I mean, many subreddits have much more posts compared to communities on lemmy… sometimes I scroll through Reddit sub top of month and see no end. At lemmy mostly I see 10 posts monthly… I do like concept of moving to lemmy, but it might make no sense if people’s are no active here and tbh I see the trend of disappearing activity
Why do you browse to other instances? Apart from channels on defederated instances you can subscribe to all channels on your main instance.
Does Lemmy need artificial ‘all’ channels that include all channels of an instance? Then there would be no need to directly visit other instances.
If there’s a post with information I want to save, I email it to myself, same for FOSS posts where I want to try the software on the PC.
It might just be that I get a notification while I’m on the PC and want to answer. This post is on lemmy.ml, so if I opened it on the computer while I’m logged in to dbzer0, I wouldn’t be able to type this reply.
That’s very incorrect. I’m on midwest.social and I can reply.
That’s odd, I can reply now. The link from my replies is https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5239822 though, rather than the original lemmy.ml link.
I’ve got https://programming.dev/c/learn_programming open in another tab, a link that I emailed myself to read on the computer, and that’s asking me to log in.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !learn_programming@programming.dev
As the others wrote, you should be able to reply.
Additionally, I would like to remind you of the star. You can mark posts and comments and find them in your profile.
Thanks, I always forget about the star. I’m so used to just sending myself links that I forget that there are other ways sometimes :)
There is also just a dbzer0 link to this post (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5239822) that you should be able to send to yourself. I can’t imagine Voyager wouldn’t let you access that.
Sorry, yes, Voyager lets me read and reply to everything. It’s when I try to open a link on my PC that I get the problem. I opened this thread from my replies, and get the dbzer0 link that you posted rather than the original lemmy.ml link, and I can reply on the PC. I’ve got https://programming.dev/c/learn_programming open in another tab though, a link that I emailed myself to read on the PC, and it asks me to log in, even though I’m currently logged in to dbzer0.
