Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

    Make one instance the default one. Then introduce others gradually. Too confusing for first timers. I was scratching my head the first time.

      i’m still scratching my head about things like: the difference between “hot” and “top” because they have different definitions from instance to instance; sometimes i can’t subscribe to another’s instance’s communities without creating a user account on that instance despite seeing them in the “all” filter in the first instance; and the very heavy mainstream dominant viewpoint on the fediverse that completely drowns out anything else.

        This should only be the case if the 2 instances aren’t federating together. it might be a specific bug, can you give more context on what you couldn’t do?

          it’s happened so many times it feels like the norm so i can’t remember; but it’s bound to happen again and now that i know it’s not meant to work this way i can come back and update when it happens again.
