Hi. I created a lemm.ee account and hope for a Reddit alt. I came to Reddit from StumbleUpon and Digg so I’m open to migrating to the next good thing.

I paid for Apollo and loved it. And I’ve found Voyager to be pretty close. So that’s cool.

I was able to migrate my list of subscriptions and find many similar communities and I continue to explore and subscribe to active communities on Lemmy.

But a few questions I can’t find answers to:

  1. Can I create a multireddit in Lemmy/Voyager? Like I want to keep NSFW out of my home feed in case my kids look over my shoulder while I’m casually scrolling, but would like to save some favorite nsfw subs in one place for “future convenience.”

  2. Lots of posts say, “Failed to Load Media.” Is that a common Lemmy thing? Or Voyager? Or my device?

  3. Do I need to subscribe to communities on multiple instances? Like I see there are a lot of Technology communities across various servers. Do those aggregate to one place? Or do I need multiple subscriptions until I find the instance that serves up the best content.

Thanks for your help!

    1. Alt account is probably the way to go
    2. A commonly used image host is blocked in a bunch of countries (https://files.catbox.moe) check if you can open this site
    3. They are separate communities, kinda like politics and politics2 on Reddit. They don’t aggregate jet but that option is WIP. My tip is go with communities not on Lemmy.ml and hexbear.net due to some questionable moderation in a bunch of communities on those

      Yeah. The knocks on .ml and hexbear seem to be common, so I’ll stay away from those instances and then just sub to the most active comms for now. Thank you!
