So, I don’t know if this is a dumb question, but how do I change from lemmy.ml to let’s say, beehaw, without switching accounts? I’m on the Jerboa app.
if you tap the sandwitch menu, then tap all, it should show you content from all instances (that are not blocked by your home instance).
I haven’t found any way to do that yet. Definately feel like this should be a feature though.
Ah, alright. Bummer. I agree, it should be a feature.
You can use this website that lets you search for general/specific instances and communities:
When you’re on that website, just write the instance name (ex. beehaw.org) in the search bar and it’ll only show you communities from that instance.
Thank you so much, that worked!
Thank you! Turns out it was a dumb question haha.
It wasn’t a dumb question. I didn’t know how to either. lol
Links to other instances always say I’m logged out (which, technically, I am) that makes the link useless.
For example, I am logged in at my home instance of https://midwest.social If I click a link to go to https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support it takes me to that community, but I am not logged in (to lemmy.ml) so I am unable to meaningfully interact with it. I have to manually edit each lemmy URL that I go to in the URL bar in order for me to go to that community with my lemmy account.
So I need to manually change https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support into https://midwest.social/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and I have to do this each time I click a link to another instance if I want to post there.
I’ve been a system administrator for 20 years, and this took me a few minutes to figure out. “Casual” users are just going to be SOL since they aren’t going to be analyzing editing URLs to make them work. I feel like the only want to fix this is to have a browser addon intercept any lemmy URLs and modify them to work based on your home instance.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how it is?
