Foe those that don't know. Wherever you create an account, all the information stays on that particular instance. E.G. Lemmyworld lemmy.ml.

To reduce the load on a instance, users should create accounts on other instances that is geographically close to you and have plenty of server resources. This would lead to a smoother and faster user experience.

You will still be able to comment and interact with users and post on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml even if you created your account elsewhere. (Unless the instance your account is created on gets defederated).

[-] Micromot@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I was wondering if votes are also federated. Do you know?

[-] SJ_Zero@lemmy.fbxl.net 2 points 2 years ago

They definitely are.

I only have two users on my instance, but there are posts with thousands of upvotes.

[-] Hikiru@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Subscriber counts aren’t though, which is something that should be addressed

[-] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 1 points 2 years ago

That's what I did! Don't get too attached to your data, though, since a smaller instance means more risk of data loss.

[-] parrot@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

A new user wouldnt know this is the dilemma

[-] lauric@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately, defederation is a constant theme. And sooner or later, the shit will hit the fan and no instance will communicate with other instances, claiming that everyone else holds the wrong ideas and has the wrong values.

I already heard about Lemmy.world, Beehaw and Lemmy.ml, threatening with defederation, if the other instance does not defederate from instances they themselves do not like.

Instances are doomed to become isolated echo chambers.

[-] EatALime@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Beehaw markets themselves as a heavily moderated space and they caught a lot of flack for defederating from Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, but even they are still federated with a bunch of different instances. There will probably be a pool of instances that share a fairly hands-off approach and remain connected to all the other instances that have a "we'll federate with anyone" policy. There will likely be a collection of middle-ground instances who defederate with instances that are the source a lot of harassment or certain NSFW material but otherwise don't restrict much and still federate with instances that maintain similar moderation styles. At the far end you end up with places like Gab and Truth Social which are both Mastodon instances that aren't federated at all and are completely closed communities because they only ever wanted to be an echo chamber. The rest of the fediverse or even just Mastodon didn't cease to exist when Truth Social started up its own walled off instance.

People can self select into the kinds of communities they like. The unrestricted ones will only fail if the lack of moderation is such a problem that nobody signs up to any of them.

IT lead here; this is exactly how to get servers to work.

[-] G1ZMO_DRAG0N@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

IT director here. I just take the time out to drive them.

[-] nouman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

"Problem voting, please try again" , yes I will

[-] Chives@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 5 points 2 years ago

Seems about right.

I also treat the other server admins the same way.

[-] flare@lemmy.kya.moe 4 points 2 years ago

People really need to stop dogpiling on the most popular instances and instead spread themselves out.

[-] MadKing@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I think me and others from reddit included have no idea how this works and signed up to the one we were first introduced to.

[-] TeaHands@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Can I ask how you were "introduced" to .world? Just been wondering why that's the one everyone is moving to atm.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

It's literally in the goodbye message on RIF. That's how we got here.

[-] TeaHands@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh lord, ok now things make a lot more sense 🤦‍♀️

[-] Relected@lemmy.kya.moe 1 points 2 years ago

thats why im here! Hullo :3

[-] flare@lemmy.kya.moe 1 points 2 years ago

Cheers :)

[-] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I usually have good luck complimenting its nice rack

[-] CrypticVader@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

This does not feel like a shitpost. Where is c/comics?

[-] zerotime@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I should hire a psychologist for my server.

[-] Thief@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 2 years ago

If anyone wants to help spread the load I would appreciate people helping me with my instance that is small still and needs testing and help to grow. Its https://lemmy.myserv.one - will be updated to 0.18.1 when it releases soon.

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Even to admins like me who only host an instance for themselves and don't allow other people on it?

[-] Nerd02@forum.basedcount.com 1 points 2 years ago

Well at least you didn't make an account on lemmy.world and are instead enjoying the beauty of federation. Yeah, you get a pass.
