User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn’t mean your account exists on lemmy.ca.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

Communities are fragmented and /c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml with its own users, set of posts, etc.

Lemmy does not currently allow for instance or user migration.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3057

Nor does it allow for shared communities (ie the aforementioned /c/games is unified across multiple instances)

We are in the early days. If you’re eager feel free to join in the development on these any many other core issues. There’s real potential here.

    Yea the post is misleading. The community is games@lemmy.world not /c/games. That’s reddit language creeping in.

      Yes, saying c/gaming is meaningless. I pointed this out to one user yesterday and got the most unbelievable snark back.

          I mean saying c/games without anything else is meaningless. You added @lemmy.world which is correct.

          It’s like saying c/worldnews. Do you mean worldnews at lemmy.ml, or worldnews at lemmy.world, or worldnews at shitjustworks, etc, etc, etc.

            But the OP literally said “c/games on lemmy.world”, so the criticism is not valid.

              Are you serious? I said I made a comment to someone yesterday. I’m not taking about op. And even then Op is talking how gaming on lemmyworld is different than gaming on lemmyML. It’s the whole point of this conversation. Jfc follow the conversation.
