I know this will take some time to get used to, but I am using the Voyager app. I am confused on what local communities in comparison to the federate communities.
I’m also not sure why there are so many different apps for Lemmy because now I feel like I should be checking them all out, but Voyager is very similar to Apollo for Reddit so I feel most comfortable here.
What is an instance?
And how long will I be able to share photos? Since my account is one day old I can’t upload any pictures.
I’ll have more questions, but I can’t think of them right now, thanks in advance!
Local communities are ones created at the same place you signed up.
Edit: so I signed up at sh.itjust.works, therefore if I make a community it will not be local to you, but would be to others users who registered where I did.
Unless its a themed instance I wouldn’t worry about it much.
Oh wow ok. Where do you find other apps? I was in the app store and there only a few but with little reviews.
Here are some suggestions: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ I suggest sorting by “downloads”.
This is super helpful, thank you! I’ve been using Boost and really love it but I’m trying Jerboa right now too and it’s pretty nice.
Thank you!!
