Perhaps a bit of a tangent: I'm pegnant and have been craving something all day but couldn't work out what I wanted. I tried pico de gallo, bacon, mango. No luck. Eventually I realised: it was tap water with ice. That's all I've wanted all day

Yes. I've definitely seen it, but don't remember which instance it's on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Gonna be honest, I still don't know how instances even work

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

An "instance" is a techie way of saying it's a copy of that thing

(disclaimer: I'm not a lemmy expert, just techie.)

A Lemmy instance is just the server where accounts and set of communities lives. e.g, Lemmy.world or Lemmy.ml, etc. Each instance can "federate" content from other instances, which is a way of publishing content to servers you otherwise wouldn't see. You can see content and communities from other instances as well as comment on those other instances even though you don't have an account on each one.

You are probably looking for

[email protected]

But there are also:

[email protected]

and

[email protected]


You could subscribe to all three, or just the one on your home instance, or whatever.
