you’ve already got an account, click !autism@lemmy.world and then the Subscribe button

are you using a mobile app or just the lemmy.world website?

I dont know what Instance I am

you are on lemmy.world

but am being asked for a instance

it sounds like you were trying to Subscribe without being logged in

so I’m guessing you have your login in an app instead of the website and then you opened the community in your web browser instead of in the app which already had your login

the link I provided should work in your app or wherever you’re commenting from

2026 or 2025? I thought it was 2025

Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?

Not really lol, but if you think it will be fun then go for it

1. “sort”: that’s the word for the options of “new”, “scaled”, “active” etc, right?

Yep https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

3. @Die4Ever pointed out there’s a “Show Read Posts” option in the settings. I’ve unticked that and will see how it goes.

I honestly don’t use this feature myself lol but I hope it helps you!

In your settings on the website there’s a checkbox for “Show read posts”, uncheck that. Some apps have the same feature or similar. Some apps also have an option to mark as read when you scroll past a post without opening it.
