Following as I’d like to know too!
Your metaphor of multiple instances = multiple “Reddits” is exactly how I think of it as a layperson!
A few other people use the email metaphor, but I found it not as digestible since email is not a forum.
When it comes to income and taxation, there is a lot more grey than you think.
Technically, ALL income for business-earning purposes should be reported and taxed accordingly.
Regarding taxation of the buyer, at least in Canada, GST is generally not applicable until the seller is earning $30K+.
But REALISTICALLY - no taxation agency really cares about 1 chair.
I probably wouldn’t consider it a black market/underground economy unless it was significant and ongoing. E.g., your neighbours REGULARLY sell chairs for profit and don’t report their earnings.
I agree, the hardest part for me was getting started.
“I like news - I’ll just register on the news Lemmy!” Ah. Sweet summer child.
Luckily I stumbled across my current instance and the creator seemed friendly and like a decent human being. But I doubt many casual Redditors will have the same patience to figure it out.
Oh shoot. I’m glad you posted this as I just made a post and completely misinterpreted the message - I selected “English.” Hopefully that won’t filter it from too many users!
Thank you!! Subscribed!
I’m really enjoying the interface! I browse mobile on Chrome. I hope to see lots of people stick around and build some great communities.
Pleasantly surprised that most people are friendly, polite, and positive here - you never know what to expect when you make the switch.
I’m not very tech-savvy so it took a little bit to find my instance, but now it’s been smooth sailing.
A little sad, but I am not as attached to specific communities online. I’ve seen subreddits rise and fall too, so this just feels like another chance to find something new.
Commenting as that was one of my favourite subreddits and would love to join a similar community on Lemmy!
I wanted to watch it too and it was awful. And then when they finally posted the recording THE NEXT DAY, it was mediocre at best. Truly a blunder in the reality TV world.
