I originally went with kbin over Lemmy because the kbin webapp looked and functioned (for me) so much better. But now Memmy has gotten pretty good and close to Apollo so I’ve moved there. For me it’s all about ease of interaction/function.
You mean for this specific case? Yes, they’re two separate communities which is why it was disadvantageous to create a community on both kbin and Lemmy—if they made just one, that one community could share subscribers and comments and such from all Lemmy instances (that aren’t defederated) as well as kbin. They didn’t need to make separate accidentalrenaissance communities but they did.
I’m not a fan of the e-mail analogy overall, but here it works. It’s like they created a gmail account and an aol account, thinking only gmail accounts could email each other and only aol accounts could email each other. But really, if they made only a gmail account then both gmail and aol would be able to communicate easily.
For your reference: for all intents and purposes there isn’t one. Lemmy accounts can interact and follow kbin communities and vice versa. You don’t need accounts on both, though you can if you choose.
I’m not super knowledgeable. My only guess is your instance may be defederated with those instances? Just as a test, maybe create an account on lemmy.world or kbin.social and login to Memmy with that account and try again? If that doesn’t work then I wouldn’t have a clue. I barely know what I’m doing myself. Haha
Click on the search button on Memmy, type “accidentalrenaissance” in the bar then click to search communities. Both the kbin and the blahzone communities show for me there, pick which one you’d prefer and subscribe. Or both. You can do both.
Additionally, within Memmy, if you visit the community (in this case “ass”) and click in the upper right “…” you will have the option to block the community from showing in any of your feeds.
I think their point is password managers make it very easy to have completely unique passwords, and if your Lemmy password is compromised you can change it without worrying about any other accounts being compromised. Not that a manager would magically protect you from ever being compromised.
When I was in college, one of the workers at the campus sub shop would legitimately make you say “may I” instead of “can I” before he’d start building your order.
Kind of like how you can use your Facebook or Google account to create logins for different sites? Seems like it would be entirely possible to have a “Fediverse” login.
I use my keypad a lot for my job so I’ve always been kind of jealous of the people who can use the slimmed down keyboards. This is a cute little compromise and I’m glad to know it exists!
Not trying to be funny, have you tried actual children’s ear plugs? Or are those too small?
