Ross of Ottawa

New to Lemmy, I’m in Ottawa Canada, and enthusiastic about science, art, literature, food and tech-makerism. Not sure how those interests will manifest themselves in this forum, but I’m here to discover the answer to that.

  • Okay - if I select “Comments” I see a bunch of things, but with “Posts” selected it’s empty here.

    Yet in the “List of Communities” with Local selected, I see: Meta (lemmy.one) has 258 subscribers, 102 users/month, 24 posts and 147 Comments and I am subscribed.

    Not sure where all those 24 posts are hiding.

    Lemmy has some usability challenges for sure.

    Welcome - from someone who is still wandering about aimlessly.

    Yes, hope this service gets a bunch of redditors and can grow into something like the early days of that platform. Yeah, it’s a bit confusing, but I think having a bit of experience with the Fediverse through mastodon already, it mostly makes sense.

    I see there is interconnectedness with masto - and I can see myself here from there, and vice versa. But it appears to be mostly a separate animal.

    Lots to learn - will be interesting to see how it evolves with more joining in.

    Thank you. Can you explain to me the meaning of the “type” field in the Profile area? Is that some default for what posts are visible maybe? Seems a bit redundant with the similar interface in each community. :)
