- I’m now very hesitant to trust any 3rd party. I’d have to trust that the Lemmy instance I choose won’t do the same thing reddit did to me.
That seems an argument not to start your communities on lemmy.world. And…
There was another thread where people were discussing the need for attracting more niche communities & content creators to Lemmy. Well you’re not going to attract them like that.
L.W isn’t Lemmy. In fact, Lemmy isn’t the threadiverse.
I’m still familiarizing myself with Lemmy and the fediverse. It’s a bit complex.
It’s not that difficult once you get stuck in. I did struggle to get my head around everything when I signed up to Mastodon and just let me account go dormant. However, jumping into Lemmy was a lot easier and the whole Fediverse idea clicked quite quickly. I am now on Calckey, which works better for me, but I may have to conclude I am more of a forum guy than a microblogging one but perhaps I’ll warm to it.
If you have any questions just ask - I’m sure someone can help. However, you don’t really need your own instance, you could just start a community on a friendly instance - it is also the best way to learn.
I use Calibre.
