Anyone can put Lemmy on their website
All the Lemmy websites talk to each other
You went to the website lemm.ee, so you're a lemm.ee user
It's good for the network if people don't all use the same website
Got it. Is there a way for me to transfer or do you just register into a new account once I figure out the best server for me?
You can browse instances without an account before applying for one, if you want to get a taste first.
Register for a new account, but you can also export, then import your subscription list and other settings.
You have to make a new account in order to move instances. But I think you can export your subscriptions.
Awesome thanks! I will scan around for a couple weeks and then register into a new account. Being a reddifugee with the recent censorship and a big “Center for humane tech” nerd am excited to be shifting in a better direction - so will for sure be invested in server and site health.
I’m from Reddit too. I started on Lemm.ee and I made accounts at like 4 other instances. It’s extremely easy to make accounts and switch in the app you’re using (I’m on Voyager).
Feddit.org, a German server, was down earlier for Maintenace and I switched to infosec. It’s really easy. Not a commitment to apply and jump between instances.
You don’t have to wait. You could apply for a few you like the description of and try them out. If you don’t like them, don’t use them. If you like them—stau! :)
You can switch if you want, but it's really okay if you stay on lemm.ee too.
If you look at active users on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, Lemmy.world has 18500, while lemm.ee only has 6700, so no need to move. It's also well managed, the admins are quite reactive and transparent: !meta@lemm.ee
Got it so I am not on the lemmy death star just a lemmy destroyer. (If things went south)
I recommend checking what instances are blocked by your instance of choice, I chose this instance because there's extremely limited censorship.
It’s always a good idea to check out your instance policies. Mine blocks porn, for example. It’s a very important lens through which you will view the network.
It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to register for an instance that has very different beliefs from your own, unless that’s expressly what you want for educational purposes.
