You Should Know

ysk - your account doesn't exist on other instances and communities don't overlap

User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn't mean your account exists on lemmy.ca.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

Communities are fragmented and /c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml with its own users, set of posts, etc.

Lemmy does not currently allow for instance or user migration.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3057

Nor does it allow for shared communities (ie the aforementioned /c/games is unified across multiple instances)

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3100

We are in the early days. If you're eager feel free to join in the development on these any many other core issues. There's real potential here.

I think they’re equivalent: see the URL here - https://lemmy.world/c/games - that’s the same as saying !games@lemmy.world

•

I mean saying c/games without anything else is meaningless. You added @lemmy.world which is correct.

It's like saying c/worldnews. Do you mean worldnews at lemmy.ml, or worldnews at lemmy.world, or worldnews at shitjustworks, etc, etc, etc.

•

But the OP literally said “c/games on lemmy.world”, so the criticism is not valid.

•

Are you serious? I said I made a comment to someone yesterday. I'm not taking about op. And even then Op said "c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml". That's the whole point of this conversation. They are different, someone saying c/gaming on it's own is meaningless. Jfc follow the conversation.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
