One thing I’m not clear about is the impact my home instance has on me. I joined lemmy.world and am currently using the connect for lemmy app. I know when I sort by Local it will only show me posts from lemmy.world, but beyond that are there any things to keep in mind?
I have read that lemmy.world has been hit by DDoS attacks but I’ve never had any problem using connect for Lemmy during those times as far as I know.
I dont have my account on lemmy.ml because my opinions do not align with theirs.
Also choosing an instance with servers close to you is a plus as well for loading times
I do wish there was a convenient way to move your account from one instance to another.
When I chose my instance I didn’t really know what I was doing so I just picked something at random, and unfortunately the instance I picked isn’t exactly physically close to where I lived so the load times are a bit slow. Although they’re still faster than Reddit so 🤷
You can use this to easily move subscribed communities and bookmarks
Mastodon has a method of migrating from one instance to another. So, I feel it should be possible for Lemmy as well, and should eventually arrive
Serious question, how do you know what their values are? Am I missing an “about us” section?
It was created by the lemmy devs and ml stands for marxist-lennist
Thanks wasn’t sure if that or the .ml was Mali
Mali is where the domain came from, but it means something different in the context of Lemmy
