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.
I’m also a new Reddit user to Lemmy. I know that we can see other instances when we are logged into our main instance, lemmy.world for example, and we can interact with those other instances like email. Are we required to create a separate account if we want to change to a different main instance instead?
You do have to create another account if you want to move to a new instance, yeah.
But you don’t need to create another account to participate on another instance, which is an important distinction for newbies to understand.
Moving to a new instance is not required for participation there unless that instance is defederated.
Changing to a different main instance requires a new account.
My issue has been that you can’t see every post from another instance. For example, I can only see 200 out of the 2k posts on !linux@lemmy.ml when viewing it from Lemmy.world.
Other instances can see you too. And other Fediverse based platforms. This thread is trending on kbin.social for example, which is where I’m posting from.
Yes.
