One thing I’m not clear about is the impact my home instance has on me. I joined lemmy.world and am currently using the connect for lemmy app. I know when I sort by Local it will only show me posts from lemmy.world, but beyond that are there any things to keep in mind?

I have read that lemmy.world has been hit by DDoS attacks but I’ve never had any problem using connect for Lemmy during those times as far as I know.

    Full disclosure I’m not an expert on this but it would look something like !cats@lemmy.world but I’ll go check a community and get a real address for you.

    Edit: that is a real community address so that is what you would need to type into the search the first time, then wait like 5 minutes for it to federate then search for it again and it will come up now.

    Edit 2: since you’re on lemmy.world you’re going to have access to a lot of content without doing anything special since it’s a huge instance.
