Does Lemmy have the ability to replace default links?

Basically, replace signup link with one that redirects to a page that gives a very simple as possible explanation what's going on, what fediverse is and gives s list of other instances to try.

Reinforce "All are viable and can browse lemmy.world subs"... Or communities or whatever term we use here for lemmy equivalent of subreddits.

Please read: a personal appeal.

Problem is that such isn't a stable source of income.

Though I guess Wikipedia makes it work. So I dunno.

Wound up just making a lemm.ee account.

Let's see if this is noticably more stable.

I'm dumb about this whole fediverse thing. Do I need to make an account on the lemm.ee instance to enjoy that sweet stability?

Or can I just "swap to a new instance" and keep my incredibly tiny comment history?

Using lemmy.world and constantly getting gateway errors.

One of those bags to keep your phone dry?

I'm trying to be a more avid poster but the gateway errors are making it difficult.

Mmm, I get the ideological stance, but servers do cost money.

I suppose donations are an option but can't imagine that being a stable source.

Love how varied and even a little contradictory all the responses are.

Probably isn't very helpful.

I use Connect and Liftoff. Connect feels a bit more refined but prefer Liftoff's comment styling.

I'd be down to participate in some old school wrestling talk. I'm not privy on the newer stuff.

70s-mid 2000s my thing.

I find it interesting.

Hoping the constant timeouts get resolved. I imagine more users will create server problems though.

I don't think any Lemmy host is making money.

Late, but thank you for doing this man.

I know it's going to be a while before it's finished. But still, downloaded the current 0.0.2 version and even if it's not close to being functional, it made me smile.

Feels like home. Thank you so much.

For now, I open it to feel nostalgic. I use the others when I need to engage.
