oh bro this UI ain't bad. first comment on lemmy; i'm using Jerboa on android and this is all making me very happy after one day of no 196.
anybody a member of multiple instances? i'm a Mastodon user and only really use one acct there, but maybe this is different (despite being literally the same protocol). the one drawback of the one-account model there is that you only really have easy access to that one server's "local" tab, and not the others, giving undue weight to your choice of instance, unless you're using desktop and an extension like FediAct that lets you go to the URL of other instances' "local" feeds and interact and have the interaction link to your account seamlessly.
also: :3
why do you care about the local tab? I just go on either subscriptions or all, I don't particularly care what instances content comes from
in the case of Mastodon at least, the Local tab is a major way to discover new people to follow, or just peek at what's going on. i don't think my complaint will hold as much for Lemmy, as it's about following Communities, not People, and finding the equivalent of a subreddit is worth finding dozens of people.
