So just as an update, I checked both old.lemmy.today and lemmy.today; both seem to require an email address.
On lemmy.today is explicitly says email is required. On old.lemmy.today I tried fiddling around with various entries in the email field such as na, not_applicable, etc, but that didn't seem to work either.
I'm so sorry to constantly pester you, but I have another question.
I've been enjoying old.lemmy.today for the past few days. The biggest praise I can give it: I haven't missed reddit at all, and the smaller community actually makes it feel like an upgrade. Like the reddit of old.
But I wanted to make an account on Lemmy.today to make a post, however to register it seems I need an email address.
I don't want to give an email address. I could give a disposable one from one of those sites, but that would be obvious (to what it sounds like is a human curation process).
I know you said its to ward off bots, I'm wondering if its a temporary pause, or if its a permanent policy?
Second, as someone still struggling to understand lemmy, one of the reasons I'm not a fan of old.lemmy.world is that I have to turn on cloudflare.
I have noscript running and I have cloudlflare blocked.
Your response implies otherwise that you don't have cloudflare running either.
So why am I always greeted with cloudflare when I visit old.lemmy.world?
Edit: Oh I misread the title. Its old.lemmy.today that you're talkinga bout, not old.lemmy.world.
My goof. Please ignore my post, but do take my gratitude.
Edit 2: So I went over to old.lemmy.today. It is tempting to switch. I like the default interface and it has content from a lot of places (on quick glance). One of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of old.slrpnk.net is that I can't figure out how to access content from other instances. I seem tempted to switch.
I apologize, I have another follow up question (again all stemming from failing to grasp an intuitive understanding of federation) to point 1.
I'm fairly sure I was able to sign on lemmy.cafe and make a post in a community over there.
Basically I am trying to understand why was I able to do that there and not at slrpnk.net. Is it something unique to lemmy.cafe? Something unique to slrpnk.net?
Thanks, this seems like a good option. I appreciate teh old.reddit like interface that old.lemmy.world also has
Two comments
I can't log in with this account to slrpnk.net. Should I create a new account, or am I doing something wrong?
A very minor minor comment; one thing I don't like about old.slrpnk.net & old.lemmy.world, is the site by default loads to hot posts. I found the active tab to be far more interesting; there is more engaging discussion that I can learn from. If perhaps due to a cookie setting or something, the site could default to the active tab; I (and possibly others) will appreciate it.
I know I said 2, but I'm still struggling to understand the concept of instances. So slrpnk.net is a separate world from Lemmy.world right? Can I engage in lemmy.world's content or no?
Can you explain what you mean by added a quick exception?
I have the same problem on the same game due to the same hardware.
I came up with a bulky solution, which is to launch a script that disconnects my keyboard for a bit; just to allow enough time to launch DS2. Then it reconnects the keyboard so normal function is resumed
Can you expand on your solutions so I can see if its better?
If anyone is interested in my super basic scripts, let me know and I'll share them.
No I totally understand the benefit of decentralization; however on the user end, I just want to consume content.
To that end, can I post on one knitting instance and that'll reach all knitting communities on Lemmy? How do I get the most engagement, which instance is the most popular
(and by the way, knitting was a random example on my end, but I am surprised that there aren't any active instances to what I would assume, is a fairly popular hobby).
Awww man...I mean its kind of a good idea, but on reddit I've had people reply to 10 year old posts.
Its a weirdly nice feeling.
But I do think we're in a data hoarding mentality and wish to preserve everything. I think it is important to let things go.
Thanks for the suggestion.
That is down, as is old.slrpnk.net, I'll give old.lemmy.zip a shot and see what happens to it
Has it been working for you? It's been down for me all weekend
Two things, you were right; my misunderstanding was due to my failure to have an intuitive understanding of defederation.
What happened was that I signed on in lemmy.world to make a post on lemmy.cafe (through lemmy.world).
My second question: I tried all weekend to access old.slrpnk.net
But the site was either really really slow (like a page would pop up after a minute or two) or would just result in an error.
Is this a problem on my end? Or is something going on that should be sorted out soonish?
Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Is there something obvious I'm missing?
Cool thank you so much!

Oh man thank you so much on both fronts (for your other post also)
Small simple things that make the entire thing so much easier
Thanks, and again, keep up the good work!
Hi I just wanted to follow up on something
Since last evening, I can't access old.lemmy.today (I can still access lemmy.today but that's not an interface I like).
Are you having bot issues again or is there something I messed up on my end?
Why would they do that? I'm unaware of internal issues in Lemmy at this point?
First, thank you for all the hard work you do.
Second, as someone still struggling to understand lemmy, one of the reasons I'm not a fan of old.lemmy.world is that I have to turn on cloudflare.
I have noscript running and I have cloudlflare blocked.

Yeah, as someone who is struggling to understand the concept of federation...this doesn't help me at all.
I guess what its saying, if you're on lemmy.world, you can't access content on lemmy.zip?
I apologize, I have another follow up question (again all stemming from failing to grasp an intuitive understanding of federation) to point 1.

Another stupid follow up question (related to 2.)
How did you see this post?
In other words, exactly how do I get lemmy.world content on slrpnk.net?
Thanks, this seems like a good option. I appreciate teh old.reddit like interface that old.lemmy.world also has

Thank you; thats a much better solution than mine.
And keyboard works fine if you need it also
Can you explain what you mean by added a quick exception?

Sorry for being a dunce, but is there a link to the video? I can't find it using your post.
No I totally understand the benefit of decentralization; however on the user end, I just want to consume content.
To that end, can I post on one knitting instance and that'll reach all knitting communities on Lemmy? How do I get the most engagement, which instance is the most popular
