Lemmy.ml and beehaw.org getting hammered with traffic because of spez ama
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.

Lol. There's gonna be a lot of heads exploding when people realize what the fediverse is and how it works.
I don't even understand, myself. ATM I have one kbin account and a few Lemmy accounts. Not sure if there is an advantage to having an account on a kbin instance vs a Lemmy instance or anything??
At the moment, Jerboa seems like the best way to browse on Android (although nowhere near as polished as many of the bigger Reddit apps obviously), so it seems like picking a compatible instance with that works best right now. Still, it's all a bit overwhelming!
Basically the main difference is who your admin team is. So that means different moderation styles, allowing NSFW or not, allowing downvotes, controlling which communities get made (or not), etc.
You can create communities on your home instance if your admins allow it (Lemmy.ml and Kbin do, Beehaw does not). But you have to make an account on an instance to create a community there.
It's totally reasonable to jump between instances until you find one you like.
I'm on beehaw right now and didn't realize creating communities was disabled. Very interesting. Thanks!
