I would love to Google search Lemmy instead of reddit. I just don’t know how feasible it would be being that Lemmy is decentralized.

I use KeePass every single day

I only use it when googling questions that I know reddit has the answer for. And I hate it the whole time. I spend only enough time on there to get my answer then immediately close the web page. Call me silly or what you will, but I personally want to give as little interaction with that website as possible now. Fuck u/spez

As for the drama, I subscribe to a couple Lemmy instances that share the drama through Lemmy, that way I can be in the loop without having to be on the actual website.

You can find lactose free alternative milk. One brand is called Lactaid and it tastes exactly the same an normal milk.

Oh yeah, the Sync for Lemmy communities are hopping. I thought the same as you since most people talk about Boost or RIF or whatnot. Glad to see a lot of us are still supporting ljdawson

Explain the future doesn’t get better and they shouldn’t hope too much.

You aren’t wrong…

Currently I use Jerboa first, but if that doesn’t work I switch to Connect, then Wefwef then just a web browser. All to wait for Sync for Lemmy to release.

Windows 11 because I’m too lazy to try and figure out how to run applicationa/games on a Linux based OS.

Everyone else gave really good examples already so I don’t have much to contribute. I am however extremely interested in what you are going to be doing. Totally understand if you can’t say now, but after you’re done if you can talk about it would you give us an update?

If you can’t I wish you all the luck in life. Stay safe :)

I’m going down the same rabbit hole and have struggled trying to figure out the fediverse. The other comments on your post explain things well. From my experience, I had to research which instance was federated and populated with what fits my interests, then sign up for it. Jerboa doesn’t do well with it’s search function yet, and I almost exclusively use the app to browse (I did so with Sync for Reddit ((3rd party app)) too and never used the browser unless I was looking up specific questions), but I did find out that when using a web browser to login to my instance they have a community browser that lists every and all communities locally and federated where you just hit Subscribe to. Once I subscribed to everything that peaked my interests I went back to my app (Jerboa for Lemmy) and sorted by Subscribed and New (or hot). I now have an experience very similar to that of using Sync for Reddit.

To answer your questions about seeing the exact same communities (instead of a singular subreddit) to subscribe to, it’s just because each community is hosted on separate instances. Some of those instances are federated with yours (ie lemmy.world) but for users who are signed up on that particular instance may not have the same federations your instance has so they created their own version of the community.

Another comment on this post explains it well using minecraft as an example. (Idk how to cross-post or @ another user yet)
