Not really sure how that works with federation. You’re not “using” lemmy.world, you’re using lemm.ee, which has a copy of content from lemmy.world.
It’s not a great joke either way, but I read it as either “Fooled you! You thought I was hallucinating but I’m joking!” or “Oh shit, I’m hallucinating, better play it cool and act like I was just pretending”.
I have multiple accounts, but only really for moderation purposes. Cross-instance moderation is semi-broken, so it’s easier to do it that way. Other than that, having an alt is useful in case your main instance goes down.
I wouldn’t generally worry about impersonation, if someone tries it you could contact the admin of that instance and they’re generally pretty responsive.
Yeah not sure what’s going on. I only see one post, but I never got a notification for this comment, even though I should’ve 🤷
Pixelfed/Mastodon/etc sort of work with Lemmy, in that they can see Lemmy posts. Lemmy can see posts from them if you tag them appropriately, which rarely happens. They only sort of federate properly. And yeah, Loops is like TikTok for the Fediverse.
I’m not saying PieFed is better than Lemmy, just saying that apart from Lemmy, your best option is probably PieFed atm.
Mostly Lemmy via discuss.online, with a little bit of Pixelfed via social.photo and Mastodon via utter.online.
I was using Loops pretty heavily for a while, but the most recent update made it not work right on my phone (and there’s no web version), so maybe I’ll try again when it’s out of beta. It’s also not truly federated atm, so only sort of counts.
I’ve tried out a bit of PieFed and it looks really nice. Probably the best Lemmy threadiverse alternative atm. The dev does some interesting experiments like Private Voting
Tumblr doesn’t really strike me as leftist, so much as having a low signal:noise ratio
Don’t say that too quickly. Now that I’m posting the old comics again, we’ll see if it’s any darker now than the early comics 🙂
