facts. is there an egg_irl here? I'm new haha
yeah, seek blahaj.zone: !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone
not entirely sure how to link around here
EDIT: thanks! fixed link.
!egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone
hmmm how do I follow that I'm using the boost app :) thanks!
Yeah, I'm using Boost too, and that's the one PR I want merged, but I'm not a coder so I don't know how hard it is to implement. The only other app I've used is Jerboa, so I know that the coding is there (I believe they're called APIs) but I don't know how I could personally help with this issue.
I'm not too sure about navigating that specific app, but on desktop you can just follow a link like this one: https://lemmy.world/c/egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone and you'll view the blahaj instance from the cozy view of your lemmy.world account. You can subscribe there and it should appear in your feeds.
Alternatively, if you're super into queer spaces you could just create an account on blahaj to make that like your "home" instance but that wont really affect your Lemmy viewing experience much. it's akin to creating a yahoo email vs google email: you can still send and receive all the same stuff but you just log in somewhere else
I wouldn't suggest using blahaj as a home instance. It's one of the instances that pussyfoots around with defederating from hexbear, and I think it disables downvotes, which just means the content isn't voted on democratically, which fucks up the aggregation and doesn't give you an accurate view of Lemmy as a whole.
Cool communities there, poor admins. Stick with lemmy.world or pick a different home.
🎶To be fair🎶 .world isn't without it's own problems, mostly getting DDOS'd all the time, so if you're gonna look for an instance, I'd try to pick a lesser-known one than .world or the other big ones. Probably being a hypocrite here, since mine is arguably the biggest meme community on Lemmy right now, but I think that'll change given time.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone
