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).
I was wondering if votes are also federated. Do you know?
They definitely are.
I only have two users on my instance, but there are posts with thousands of upvotes.
Subscriber counts aren’t though, which is something that should be addressed
People really need to stop dogpiling on the most popular instances and instead spread themselves out.
thats why im here! Hullo :3
Cheers :)
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.
I should hire a psychologist for my server.
