For those who are new to federation and want to see what it looks like, note that friftar’s account is from feddit.de while this community is from lemmy.world.
Just reading the descriptions I found was really confusing, but actually seeing and playing around with it, it’s decently intuitive.
Also, it’s great to see some of the old names on here already! Hoping some more of the legends move over instead of just leaving the community entirely.
I suspect you’re visiting feddit.de directly and then you can’t post because you don’t have an account there. If instead you visit this link to a community hosted there from the server you’re logged in to, you can post.
There’s definitely some room for the software to improve its user experience surrounding that.
ok, on https://lemmy.world/c/main@feddit.de (the equivalent to r/de I guess) the sidebar says I should just search for !main@feddit.de in the lemmy searchbar, but nothing shows up. I did a workaround by putting it in the URL.

From what I’ve seen so far (less than 15mins here yet :-)) it looks like old FIDONet did in the 80s, but without the 9600 USRobotics modems exchanging bundles of messages all day :-)
Looks like you have the basics figured out.

I dont quite understand how this works. I am now logged in to lemmy and can post, but I cannot post on feddit.de?

Use the communities tab instead of the main search.
