Yes, but I tried to sign up a few times and let iOS set a “strong password” for me each time so unless there is some way to reset the password…
Yep… login just spins forever. The forgot password link doesn’t do anything.
Man… I really wish my signup on beehaw.org would get approved. I wonder if it has something to do with emails not going out?
Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

It depends. If I know I’ll be picking it up to play again from where I left off in a few hours, I will put it to sleep. But if I’m done for the day, I will shut it down.
I’ve had some issues getting it to turn on from sleep mode though, so tend to shut it down more than put it to sleep.
Time will tell. Given Reddit’s behavior recently, alternatives like lemmy are bound to see a spike in users. Just keep in mind that more users doesn’t necessarily mean good content.
I haven’t heard anything either. They are probably slammed. 🤷🏻♂️
You can still subscribe to and post to their communities from here. You don’t actually need a user on beehaw.org
Open the hamburger menu, then click the search icon and put [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) in the search box and click search. You’ll then be able to look at that community from lemmy.ml, and in the sidebar you can subscribe. You can also up and downvote, comment, etc.
Replace gaming with whatever community you are trying to join. Also beehaw.org is just an example. You can “join” any instance that isn’t currently blocked by lemmy.ml AFAIK.
I’ve only been here a day or so, but having to search for the community doesn’t seem that bad? It’s almost exactly like searching for a subreddit to join.
/r/subreddit turns into !community@address, like [email protected]
And once you are on that community you can open the sidebar and subscribe (join in Reddit terms).
Well, my understanding is your user exists on whatever instance you signed up on. You could technically create users on every single instance, but that is not necessary. You only need one user to exist somewhere, and then you can subscribe to, and post to communities on other instances.
For example: from lemmy.ml, if you search for [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) you can then open the sidebar and subscribe to, and post to, the gaming community on beehaw.org with your lemmy.ml user.
[email protected] is not the same community as [email protected]
Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.
Yes, I saw the post on that, and given I am a software developer thought maybe I’d take a look, but figured someone else must be looking by now, hopefully.
