I'm still trying to get used to Lemmy; the main thing confusing me is the federated bit.
I just want to access Lemmy and its content; how do I do that?
You should be able to see pretty much anything from any instance. That's kind of the point :)
Currently I'm just going to old.lemmy.world and using that as a starting point.
It's worth noting that old.lemmy.world doesn't use my fork of mlmym (yet? I should write to them about this), so you are missing out on a few features, most notably user preferences, which you'll need to go to the normal lemmy.world UI for. But that shouldn't generally be a problem.
- I really don't like cloudflare and have it disabled in Javascript. I don't want to leave it enabled for lemmy.world.
I don't remember right now whether lemmy.world uses cloudflare (it looks like it does, for mlmym at least). There are probably other instances that don't use it, but most will use some kind of anti-bot system. In the end, it's a matter of choosing the option you're most comfortable with :)
mlmym itself shouldn't need any JavaScript, although some things will be slightly nicer with it enabled (voting, replying, and so on don't require a page reload, for example).

Thank you for doing this again! As always, it was a lot of fun, though I feel like I didn't even see half of what the game had to offer ๐ Finally managed to rebuild my ship at some point, but didn't have the time to set off on a voyage yet. Oh well :)
