Hi,

I’m sorry to bother you again, but I have a question regarding old.slrpnk.net

Other instances using the old. format, they have an expand button. So you can quickly see text posts or an image and see if it worth engaging with further.

I haven’t been able to see that in old.slrpnk.net. I’m wondering if there is a way to add it in the preferences or something that I’m missing?

Thanks and I apologize again for all the questions.

Thanks for the suggestion.

That is down, as is old.slrpnk.net, I’ll give old.lemmy.zip a shot and see what happens to it

Has it been working for you? It’s been down for me all weekend

Two things, you were right; my misunderstanding was due to my failure to have an intuitive understanding of defederation.

What happened was that I signed on in lemmy.world to make a post on lemmy.cafe (through lemmy.world).

My second question: I tried all weekend to access old.slrpnk.net

But the site was either really really slow (like a page would pop up after a minute or two) or would just result in an error.

Is this a problem on my end? Or is something going on that should be sorted out soonish?

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Oh man thank you so much on both fronts (for your other post also)

Small simple things that make the entire thing so much easier

I apologize, I have another follow up question (again all stemming from failing to grasp an intuitive understanding of federation) to point 1.

I’m fairly sure I was able to sign on lemmy.cafe and make a post in a community over there.

Basically I am trying to understand why was I able to do that there and not at slrpnk.net. Is it something unique to lemmy.cafe? Something unique to slrpnk.net?

Another stupid follow up question (related to 2.)

How did you see this post?

In other words, exactly how do I get lemmy.world content on slrpnk.net?

Thanks, this seems like a good option. I appreciate teh old.reddit like interface that old.lemmy.world also has

Two comments

1. I can’t log in with this account to slrpnk.net. Should I create a new account, or am I doing something wrong?

2. A very minor minor comment; one thing I don’t like about old.slrpnk.net & old.lemmy.world, is the site by default loads to hot posts. I found the active tab to be far more interesting; there is more engaging discussion that I can learn from. If perhaps due to a cookie setting or something, the site could default to the active tab; I (and possibly others) will appreciate it.

3. I know I said 2, but I’m still struggling to understand the concept of instances. So slrpnk.net is a separate world from Lemmy.world right? Can I engage in lemmy.world’s content or no?
