I know this will take some time to get used to, but I am using the Voyager app. I am confused on what local communities in comparison to the federate communities.

I’m also not sure why there are so many different apps for Lemmy because now I feel like I should be checking them all out, but Voyager is very similar to Apollo for Reddit so I feel most comfortable here.

What is an instance?

And how long will I be able to share photos? Since my account is one day old I can’t upload any pictures.

I’ll have more questions, but I can’t think of them right now, thanks in advance!

Thank you so much. I will take a look at this tomorrow in my free time! This is all so new to me despite being familiar with the apollo-esque app.

Sounds good, and that's understandable. I think most of us went through a bit of that when we started.

There are a few key differences, but once you get familiar with them it's smooth sailing
