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.
At Masto: @ottaross@mastodon.social
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.
Seems possible - I guess I’ll have to play with it a bit. :)
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. :)
Definitely Blender. I’d consider myself a medium grade expert at using it for CAD, solid modelling, 3D printing, yet there are vast sections of it I have never touched, and appear to be so rich that you could build a career around them without overlapping with my skill set.
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.
