You don’t need to delete, you can have multiple accounts

make sure to submit your community on https://lemmy-federate.com/

I feel like this would be a moderation nightmare. Instant approval to use any instance just because you have an account on some other instance? You can just self host a troll instance and start logging in from everywhere else.

Also it breaks the community feeling of an instance. And I still don’t really see why this feature is so often requested to be honest.

you’ve already got an account, click !autism@lemmy.world and then the Subscribe button

are you using a mobile app or just the lemmy.world website?

I dont know what Instance I am

you are on lemmy.world

but am being asked for a instance

it sounds like you were trying to Subscribe without being logged in

so I’m guessing you have your login in an app instead of the website and then you opened the community in your web browser instead of in the app which already had your login

the link I provided should work in your app or wherever you’re commenting from

2026 or 2025? I thought it was 2025

1. “sort”: that’s the word for the options of “new”, “scaled”, “active” etc, right?

Yep https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

3. @Die4Ever pointed out there’s a “Show Read Posts” option in the settings. I’ve unticked that and will see how it goes.

I honestly don’t use this feature myself lol but I hope it helps you!

In your settings on the website there’s a checkbox for “Show read posts”, uncheck that. Some apps have the same feature or similar. Some apps also have an option to mark as read when you scroll past a post without opening it.

it depends if your Lemmy instance is configured to copy and host images, or proxy images (in which case they won’t get your IP but they’ll know when you look), or neither (they get your IP if they’re running their own instance or self-hosting the image itself)

I just sent myself a PM to test:

programming.dev shows the image as hosted from retrolemmy.com

it might also be currently bugged: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5538

It also reduces the possibility of being tracked
