**EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!**...
The first local instance I signed up before I fully understood/realized what I was doing was focused on getting together a Chinese or Chinese American instance.
Seemingly decent, but I just really didn’t want to be barging in on something that wasn’t for me.
People seem to really be liking Jerboa, but I find it much simpler finding other instances in the web browser. I still have much to learn though.

Sort of unrelated to the general “Hey - I can’t seem to log onto the app” enquiry, but I would be interested in helping out to evolve a Chinese instance. I’m not American, but am interested in trying to be a part of the Pan-Asian community.
I believe it was latte.isnot.coffee, but it appears they recently opened up. Or I was just a confused new user and didn’t realize what instance the community/post was under.
You can search for instances at:

In cased you missed it, Beehaw defederated at the start of the recent big Reddit migration, so we won’t receive any external post/updates and vise-versa outside of your own instance. If I’m oversimplifying or need correction - anyone correct me!
When a host server of a frediverse server defederates, they no longer share/update their info. So right now, kbin (I get kbin.social on my feed and subscribed there) is connected/federated with Lemmy. We can post there; their members can post here. We all receive updates/copies of each other’s posts. All of us are in the same conversation.
When defederation happens, it’s like no longer talking to each other. We could still use the kbin.social page we were subscribed to, but everything new would be “us”/Lemmy only and we wouldn’t see Kbins members, and they wouldn’t see ours.
Or: the virtual information sharing cable is cut, and we only see what was there or is added from our own end.
Beehaw cut it’s information off from Lemmy due to the rapid increase of users wanting access (from what I’ve seen).
