Thanks! No wonder there are a lot of Japanese servers there. I’ll try making an account now :)

Can anyone enlighten me regarding Firefish? I tried to pick a server and there are servers with “beta”, “alpha”, or nothing on their mini profile on the join page. Which one should I pick based on what?

Also, I’m still not quite sure abou the connection between firefish, calckey, and misskey. Are they the same thing? Honestly, I haven’t done any research.

Hopefully the worst it can be is a reddit-clone and not other big social media. I wish there’s a better way to aggregate all lemmy posts and make them searchable in search engines. I reckon it’s the allure of reddit, the random collection of information and discussion from ordinary people you can easily find from search engine without (or at least, less obvious) marketing ploy to sell something. That’s the one thing sadly can’t be replaced by lemmy yet.

Maybe there should be a universal lemmy search engine for that? Not just to search communities but also for posts and comments (outside the search option in an instance because it’s limited to communities that are joined by the members of that particular instances). I’m not sure how difficult it’s going to be.

I wonder who is behind this and what’s the intention.

I can see your comment from my instance page :)

I have use this and I can vouch that it works on most instances; I moved my subscriptions from another instance to mander.xyz using this tool.

But I also have another account in a smaller instance and it doesn’t work. I’m guessing that instance hasn’t been updated.
