Thank you very much!

Explain like I’m five?

Yeah, no. Phones on students are vital, particularly the United States, where a shooter might just mosey on in any time and open fire. Phones play a huge role in active shooter situations, which unfortunately show no sign of slowing down.

Thank you so much.

Huh. Good bot.

Enjoying the Reddit self-destruction but the content doesn’t have much with the lemmy.world server. Maybe post to Reddit@lemmy.ml, !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml or !technology@lemmy.ml?

I like you. You’re interesting.

Hello midwest.social! It’s me, lemmy.world.

Thank you very much. The welcome for all us reddit refugees has been really warm and it’s deeply appreciated.

Trying!

Yeah absolutely. An instance is kind of your home group. It’s not a “subreddit,” more just a sorting method for links. The “subreddits” are the boards inside the instances, and the instances work to determine their addresses.

On Reddit you might have /r/nfl, /r/actualnfl, /r/realnfl, for example, while here you would have nfl@lemmy.world, nfl@other.instance, nfl@another.instance.

(People better at explaining or who are further along the process of understanding please feel free to correct me and chime in!)

I’m still a little confused but it’s sinking in. The difference between an instance and a “sub”, as well as how to join or interact with other “subs” without having to join each individual instance, was the part that was toughest to adapt to. I love it, though. Lemmy is giving me the feeling Reddit did when I first joined it a long, long time ago on my first ever account. It feels organic.
