You can change your display name, but not your base username.

You need to view your subscribed communities, they’ll show up there. By default it’s probably either showing Local or All.

I didn’t make posts all that often on reddit, but I definitely commented a fair amount. The problem I’ve got with lemmy right now is there’s not as much discussion about stuff I’m interested in, so I’m mainly just looking at All instead of keeping to my subscribed communities.

I haven’t been having issues with my lemmy.world account, other than the occasional slow/failing to load page, but that gets fixed with a refresh.

If you’re looking at subscribed or All they do, but the local feed is the default, and that only shows stuff on the local instance, in this case lemmy.world.

If you mean your profile, that will show all your activity on every instance.

That is absolutely disgusting, I just can’t believe it’s happening in a “developed” country.

You need to get to the communities from the lemmy.world instance and subscribe from there. There’s a userscript someone made that will automatically redirect links from other instances to your instance, you can get it here.

You can also just manually enter the URL if you know the community and instance. For example the Android community on lemdro.id accessed from lemmy.world is https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

Edit: I will say, this is one of the biggest issues I currently have trying to use mastodon and lemmy. The fact that links by default don’t redirect to your instance, even on the instance itself is baffling to me. I shouldn’t have to use an extension to ensure I can stay on my instance, and not have to manually look someone up if I click on their profile on mastodon.

Yeah, I don’t know how it could ever work well, they’re just totally different formats, and honestly, I’m fine with them being separate

Well it depends, do I get to be the main character? Because being Spider-Man would be pretty cool.

Bonus Question: No thanks,

Bonus Bonus Question: Yes, and I think I’d choose the Halo universe, but just as a regular person, not a Spartan or anything. And after the war, so hopefully human civilization isn’t so bad then.
