Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

I’m with ya man! I am a member of 4 servers but I am not really understanding the difference between them so stick to lemmy.world mostly.

There’s about as much difference between servers as there is between email providers. Sometimes there’s technical differences or some might be more reliable, but Lemmy will be Lemmy wherever you go.

There isn’t much difference really. Some instances/servers block more instances than others, but generally speaking you’re getting the same experience on most of them.

I’ve only got one account on kbin, but I can see communities from a ton of different places and users from everywhere. For example, I’m browsing this from kbin.socal but it’s on lemmy.world.

I’m on Kbin as well. I just don’t overthink it too much, but the idea is that you can interact with all the different places whether it be Lemmy or otherwise. Either way, you can comment and interact and post everywhere so if it works it’s good. And so far it seems to.

I think beehaw is defederated from Lemmy but I don’t know if that means it’s defederated from Kbin. I can see their things fine.

Not overthinking things is quite the skill, honestly. Well done.

So beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.world (not Lemmy in general) , and all it does is that users on those two servers can’t interact with each other.

But everyone else in the hundreds (thousands?) of other Lemmy & Kbin servers can still see beehaw.org & lemmy.world content and interact with them just fine.

The magic of Federation.
