I've spent more than 7 years in Mastodon, and in my experience, new users always come in with a Twitter mindset, then getting a cultural shock because they come to Mastodon expecting a Twitter experience and end up finding something strange and bizarre....
When I try posting a message in a community on that instance it just shows a spinning wheel forever. Anyone managed to post messages there recently?

I would like to follow some nice and informative mastodon accounts. Any recommendation?
Sorry if this has been asked already, but I'm struggling with my google skills and fediverse right now...
In a way this is also a test...
I'm new to Lemmy, and I was not a Reddit user. I have been using Mastodon regularly since November, so I am familiar with the general concepts of instances in the Fediverse....
One of the biggest issues I'm having trouble getting past with Lemmy is not knowing which communities to subscribe to....
Not sure why this is happening, it's been like it since I came over and it's quite annoying. No matter if it's on All and filtered by Hot,Active etc, every so often new posts will auto feed right at the top and shift everything down....
Can other instances "back it up" so that the posts submitted to the instances aren't lost?
My tendency seems to be owning my own business and freelancing until I die (until I get stable enough to build my own products). I've been trying to connect with more business-minded people--"average of 5 people" type of mentality. Currently it seems that the only way of doing this is LinkedIn....
Been using lemmy and really enjoying it. I have a twitter account that does me no good so Mastodon seemed very appealing. I joined an instance, made some posts, tried interacting with a lot of people. . . I dunno. It just never really grabbed me....
I used Imgur a lot to post pictures to reddit and since I replaced reddit with lemmy already I thought it would be nice to replace Imgur as well....
If there happens to be a big delay in sync, let's say 7 hours, and I reply to a post that's from another instance, would the notification that's sent to OP on the original instance be at the top of the notification list or would it be buried under notifications that they got in the previous 7 hours?
Too many people are confusing the two. Whenever lemmy.ml or its devs do something stupid, people go “Lemmy is getting worse and worse,” or “I’m leaving Lemmy,” or worse, “I’m leaving for Beehaw.”...
Was using Lemmy.ca as my home instance for a while, now it's gone. Just wondering what happened or where I can find out.
When creating a new instance or picking a instance to join, what is a good strategy that the user could follow?...
I tried to like Invidious, I really did but it's just awful. it's basically painful to use as it is now. I've tried to play around with various combinations of settings and browsers and cant find any combination where the video doesnt either:...
if yes, why is that?

I'm just getting familiar with lemmy fediverse and trying to make my way through it after getting out from reddit. I'm trying out liftoff app for android and I'm seeing way more double posts from different instances from same users. Same content from same users on multiple instances. I thought fediverse supposed to, You post in...
Where did it go? 😥...
coming from reddit
Is there a way to turn off the auto-updating of the post list? I start reading a title and it gets bumped off screen by some new thing up top or a picture that was expanded from a thumbnail gets closed when the post list updates. Is there an option in the settings or something that can turn this off?
You can tell they’re kinda into it
