I looked up a list of Lemmy World instances and signed up for a bunch, but how do I see everything at once in one app instead of downloading one for each instance? I am new to what the kids call “federation.” Thank you.
You only need to sign up for one instance. What app are you using or is it the browser?
I use Liftoff for at least Lemmy World. I used the browser to sign up for each individual instance and get approved because Liftoff only recognizes Lemmy World.
Liftoff works with multiple servers. Go to account, gear in the top right, accounts, menu in bottom right, add server.
I will try that later. I have to go back and see which ones I signed up to.
You don’t need to use loads. You can access all communities across all servers just using your single lemmy.world account (except beehaw)
Loads?
You can just search for something like Android and it’ll show all the communities including the instance it’s on and join; you don’t need multiple logins.
The app I use, wefwef, also can view all communities in the feed along with your subscribed or just local instance communities. I’d assume liftoff is similar but I’ve never used it.
I didn’t know that there was more than one Lemmy World app.
The plataform is Lemmy, lemmy.world is a server, there are apps for the entire plataform not only one server. That means than you can use any app to connect to lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org and so on
Exactly what gatob said. Lemmy is the platform that all instances (Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc) connect to.
All apps work with all instances. There’s jerboa, connect, wefwef (soon renamed to voyager thank god), liftoff, with more coming soon (boost & sync of reddit fame)
