I’m really bought in to the Lemmy experience and I want others to share similar interests. However, I know they will have a massive amount of questions, and I want to be able to answer them in addition to my own curiosities. Here are a few questions that I have that I am still fuzzy on.

  1. I created an account on lemm.ee. Is lemm.ee a separate instance?
  2. When subscribing, are you subscribing to separate instances or different communities within a particular instance?
  3. What is the difference between lemm.ee and lemmy.ml?
  4. Is there any reason to make new accounts on different instances?
  5. When I’m looking at the “Local” feed, what am I looking at?
  6. What is the difference between the “Local” feed and the “All” feed?

Any additional information on these questions would be massively appreciated.

    How can I check what communities/instances my home instance is federated with?

    Is there any instance that federated with everything so I can just scroll through and subscribe to the ones I want?

      1. I don’t think you can
      2. I don’t think that is possible, how can you federate with everything, when everyone can create a instance?

      I think for a larger general purpose instance, in general they are quite well-fedorated, I think it could be a good approximation of what you want. But the mod can obviously stop federating with a certain instance, because their value do not align.
