I think lemmy.world is in a great position because the admin has experience hosting decentralized platforms and already has a good pipeline to cover server costs because of that.

lemmy.ml is also the first instance that I joined. I don’t think lemmy.ml should drop off. Since it’s run by the lemmy devs I think they have their hands more than full at the moment, but I’m hopeful that things will stabilize eventually and they will get more financial support with the new users.

I think it’s important to have at least a few big populated instances that are “main” instances. I like what I see with lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and beehaw.org. Personally I think it’s bad if we are too centralized on one instance or too spread out on a bunch of others. It seems like it’s going fairly well so far though, and I hope that when other big instances keep growing (and like I said get some more financial support from the community) they can improve their hardware too.

Heads up, this may not be where you meant your comment to go. @skullgiver had the same thing happen I think.

Oh good to know. I don't think that will be an issue since the instance I'm signed up with allows NSFW/Pornographic content. I definitely see how that could cause issues elsewhere though.

I was really confused for a second! It looks like the comment above yours may have been the same thing.

Thanks! I'll try that out.

Edit: That worked! Thanks.

When I was younger my dad gave me a Linux magazine with a copy of Fedora Werewolf in it. That was part of my early exploration of Linux.

And now years later as an adult I tried Fedora again and I quite like it! So I’ve been using that for a while. ☺️

Yeah! Thanks.

Ok got it. I think most instances seem to have a “main” community that is subscribed to everything local, but it’s kinda difficult to browse and subscribe to remote communities from being logged in on lemmy.world without switching back and forth to the remote instance if that makes sense.

For instance (pun intended) if I wanted to cherry-pick different communities from lemmy instance A’s local stuff, while I’m logged into lemmy instance B, and lemmy instance A doesn’t have a “main” community where I can see everything from lemmy instance A then I have to switch back and forth.

It’s not too difficult especially on desktop but I kinda wish I could have lemmy.world/c/[email protected] and it would show me everything that is local to beehaw in one feed. I understand that might not make sense design or philosophy-wise though.

Thanks! I understand that part but I’m wanting to browse all the communities on that instance from my instance so I can pick and choose which to subscribe to.

In other words: Is there a default /c/all or will that just vary depending on if they have a base community setup?

I was literally seconds away from asking this!

Yeah, is there a way to sort-of window into another instance so it’s easier to subscribe?

I like this style! Kind of reminds me of a whiteboard. It’s neat!

I almost said the conspiracy theory iceberg videos, but then I remembered the Mystery Fleshpit National Park video and I think that was my favorite. It’s a great overview of that world building project.

That is a good way to put it! Yeah, I can totally appreciate what they’re doing over there, but I’m excited to have lemmy.world be where I call home now.
