Yeah this is a normal phrase in British English too. Today you learned!

You’ve had some well-meaning but ultimately not quite accurate answers in this thread so just to clarify:

You can follow, post to and interact with Lemmy communities from Mastodon, because they’re treated the same way as a “group” on Mastodon in general.

You can NOT follow and interact with Mastodon users from Lemmy, because Mastodon accounts are individual “users” and Lemmy doesn’t have the concept of following and interacting with users, only with communities. If Lemmy ever does add a feature to let us follow other users, then in theory following Mastodon users will also become possible.

Joined group, still can’t get in on the Play link but I’ve made a note to check back and see if it’s updated tomorrow. What a faff!

Update: store link now works for group members.

Happy to help with the play store test if you decide to try and get the 20 🫡

Yeah I recently helped out with this mandatory testing thing for !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world, seems it’s a relatively recent new hoop for devs to jump through.

I’m not keen on it, prefer to find things organically so I usually ignore or (if possible) hide recommendations. But I don’t understand getting mad about it and judging people who find it useful. People gonna people, I suppose.

Well, the one person I know who uses it says it’s because he likes having a recommendation algorithm.

People have different priorities and like different things 🤷‍♀️

Ohhhh! Now I get it!

I for one will now be joining you in this crusade 🫡

Welcome! You’ve probably seen it around already, but just in case, you can search at lemmyversenet/communities and may turn up some of those niche communities that are just difficult to find otherwise. Ofc, maybe they don’t exist yet, but always worth a look!

Hullo from lemm.ee 👋

You can do it, we believe in you!

It’s like trying to choose a favourite child!

…oh wait.

It’s a masterpiece that’s what

Bear in mind most apps have only been in development for a couple of weeks at most and they’re all prioritising different features. You can always log into the mobile site and upload an avatar that way if you can’t yet do it in whichever app you’ve settled on.

(For your other question, as claymedia explained lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are just two instances of many that are both running the Lemmy software, with different signup rules and different communities hosted there. But since you can access the communities from wherever, just pick whichever home instance you like and get subscribing)

Well I for one had missed it the first time round, thank you for letting me witness this glory.

Oh ho!

You have my felting needles!

(seriously these things are no joke I could do some real damage)
