ludrol, ignore this

Is this instance only for Ascendance of a Bookworm content? Can I sign up even though I don't read the series?

While this instance is dedicated to Ascendance of a Bookworm that is only intended in regard to the communities hosted here. Meaning, for now, there won't be any communities local to this instance other than those already present. You can still sign up anyway to use this as your home instance and subscribe to the communities you like that are hosted elsewhere but I would only recommend this if you are into book in general at least. Someone looking for sports news coverage is unlikely to find fitting content in the global feed of this instance.

What is bookwormstory.social

bookwormstory.social is a server that hosts Lemmy software that mimics behavior of reddit. It enables community to host Our own place for discussion about Ascendance of a Bookworm. But it is more than that, it also has protocol called ActivityPub that connect different servers and their communities. It provides ability to send massages, replays and posts between servers.

Technical Jargon

Instances - Servers hosted by individuals or groups

Communities - Subreddits or places where similar content gets posted

Fediverse - all the projects using ActivityPub protocol

What if I wanted to see other Communities or Instances?

If you wanted for example see other communities I would suggest going to lemmyverse.net/communities and searching for you community. For example we will search for Hermitcraft a minecraft SMP server.

Then we will copy a link and put it into a search bar. To access it press magnifying glass in the top right corner. After we will press the search won't be instantaneous so we need to wait 3-10 seconds. Worth noting that results will be populated by comments mentioning that community.

After that we should see an icon with the name of community and subscriber count from our instance. When we click that it will direct us to the community page. On the right side or hidden under the "sidebar" button there will be "Subscribe" button that will enable Us to see new posts.

Now we can comment, upvote and post in community that isn't hosted on bookwormstory.social. After subscribing our instance will receive updates from subscribed communities and will display posts under subscribed tab on the front page.

Hey there's a bug!

Due to software being in practically alpha state there is a lot of bugs so please report them to @Neshura@bookwormstory.social or to @ludrol@bookwormstory.social

What if I have more questions?
