So apologies if this is a stupid question as I’m new to Lemmy. Came from Reddit. I moved to lemmy.world and have noticed that lemmy.ml has been popping up as another featured instance. What differs from lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml? Is .ml more active?
Part of why I ask this is because I downloaded the lemmur client on my phone and it defaults to lemmy.ml. (Yes I’m aware that app is no longer being maintained)
Again apologies for the stupid question.
See, the cool thing is that by that logic, if hypothetically speaking the admins of Lemmy.world did anything shady or unfriendly to the user, we could just move to another friendly instance without making another bullshit account or moving to a different website, or god forbid a different app.
Not that I think they would, as it’s clear to me they can’t given there’s no actual company. But DAMN do I love options!
Could one move instances while retaining their own post / comment history? That’s the part that I’m unclear on (new reddit refugee here)
My understanding is no. You would need account migration. And at the moment kbin or lemmy does not support it?
Only Mastodon seem to support that.

For me this is still a big issue to solve. But hopefully will happen at some point.
