I’m a user that’s migrating from Reddit. Most of my fap material was on Reddit and I’m trying to find the lemmy equivalent communities but seem to hit a wall each time via boost. I tried searching for communities without logging in and saw a few but obviously couldn’t access without an account.
Made an account in a random instance to turn NSFW on and now those communities don’t show (404 community not found). Ok cool, I make an account in lemmy.nsfw but somehow I can’t log into that instance here on Boost.
Help a brother out, how do I fap?
your particular instance (jlai.lu) has defederated from lemmynsfw (though oddly not pornlemmy.com); so you won’t see any communities, posts, or comments from their users
you can check the federated and defederated instances before you sign up by clicking the “instances” link at the bottom of the page, then scrolling all the way down to the “blocked” section
as to why you can’t sign into your lemmynsfw acct.: i don’t know. possibly because they’re running a patched backend? it may be worth a bug report
This is very helpful and some great info for someone new to lemmy!
I’ll raise a bug report for lemmynsfw to Boost and get to creating a new account. It can be a bit confusing so I appreciate the breakdown, thank you!
i’m glad i could be helpful - i realise federated social networks are a bit of a paradigm shift, so feel free to ask me if you have any other questions (although i probably won’t have any answers)
