Good day! First post 🥇 Hello, thanks for having me, people of beehaw.org 😄

What a cool idea, to have a social media site organised like this ––– I love it!! I’ve been without the algorithm (IG, FB, X, etc…) for quite a while now, and I think the Lemmyverse will be much fun to explore 🔍. I write explore, because the other week I was watching TechnologyConnections new video on the ~ 𝚊 𝚕 𝚐 𝚘 𝚛 𝚒 𝚝 𝚑 𝚖 ~ where he was talking about how many users are feeling more and more alienated by it, wishing for a more self-curated experience. I couldn’t have agreed more, and then I remembered Lemmy from an old MentalOutlaw video, back when Reddit turned 💩 for good (I was never a user).

Anyway, I just have a couple of questions, which I hope, I am posing in the right comm… 🥴

• I want to post to Hexbear’s DIY community – as far as I can tell, it’s the biggest one by far. However, Hexbear is not federated with Beehaw. That means, I’d have to create a seperate account for Hexbear. Correct?
• Do you 🫵 make an account for every instance that you’re interested in, which is not federated with Beehaw?
• Is there a way to see which instances are federated with Beehaw? The /search/ page is helpful, but I have to search manually, whereas I’d like an overview type of thing.
• Do you use an app on Android? I like Thunder, you?

I hope I did okay for my first post 😄
Much love and thanks in advance,

A.
