Well I tried beehaw but I after creating an account I had to wait to be accepted.. 1 hour later couldn't login so I went to lemmy.ml and it was instantaneous so..here I am

If I want to comment on another insurance such as beehaw.org, do I need to create a different account or can I log in with one that I created on lemmy.ml?

Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.

Honestly, I was just trying to look for the most general instance possible.

I setup Anarch.is today. Feel free to create an account. Still need to write-up guidelines, enable community creation, etc. but it’s ready if you want to post/comment on other instances.

If we run into server load problems i’ll upgrade it. 😎

aussie.zone alive and kicking.

First I created account there and then landed on my current instance, because lemmy.ml's admin views looks sketchy for me. Been living in ex-ussr for all my life I just cant accept all that communists and marxists and the fact that lemmy.ml has /c/Communism on it.

I know that's silly but that's why I'm not there anymore.

I think people naturally tend toward the servers of the people that started the project and also the servers that have the most people on them. As the federated technology continues to smooth out I think more people might be more comfortable spreading out to other servers.

Personally I started out on the Beehaw server but they had some rules I didn't like so then I found another server.

listen, I'm willing to go to smaller instances if necessary, but for the same reason I signed up for mastodon.social - I want my local community to not be a desert, if at all possible.

It looks on the main page, you can view posts across all communities on lemmy, regardless of which community you're on, so that certainly helps.

Well when other instances outright ghost your application people.will either discard the fediverse or join the ones with auto accept be it LM or mimmthe one I joined.

Nah just register at whichever instance that sounds the coolest to append to your name. Just FYI I'm from programming.dev.
