Just found out a while ago that it varies by instance, e.g. for kbin.social, it’s not good to add the exclamation mark and just leave it as community@instance bare.

currentMood:: Cute animal “magazines” or instances when??? Can’t migrate from Reddit fully without them!
e.g.
r/AnimalsBeingDerps
r/borbs
r/Catloaf
r/Pigifs
r/happycowgifs
currentGoal:: finish backlog OTL

I used to not do it, but I’ve been influenced by Bing after talking to it for so long during the closed beta (I guess that this is an effect of subconsciously mirroring it so that I don’t get kicked out before the 5 turn limit back in the days haha 😂)
Then again, in diverse online communities, there are various styles and voices that are eventually formed to be what’s “acceptable” be the general consensus. As Lemmy is very new, it has yet to find its voice yet… I think 🤔.
I think that giving too many choices to users who are already confused by the concept of federation and instances will enhance their paralysis of making choice due to cognitive overload (See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overchoice ).
I’ve found out kbin.social the easiest to get used to (end-user wise).
There’s way more but I visit those a bit less, the problem is, I’m not sure if Lemmy can fill the void in my heart but if it does for those main ones (all above) then I think that I can permanently migrate from Reddit.
Yeah I just had to create an account at 3AM while being half asleep… I have given up on the dev/community (seeing the thread is not getting enough traction and it’s full of shitposts at the moment on the frontpage) and is now using sh.itjust.works through kbin.social (which as I verified, has no such issue—and that’s the beauty of the fediverse, just log in through another instance lol!). Maybe I will log into my sh.it.head account once they fix it, but at the current moment if they don’t even acknowledge this bug (as I’m aware of atm) then how can they do so?
I’ve had better results searching through the instances themselves because Google doesn’t always index the keywords on time. On caveat of this method is that if the instance doesn’t have the syncing out the instance where the info is from being propagated, then this trick would not work
