do the rules apply to the instance where you have your account, or to the instance where you’re posting/commenting?
That is essentially what I was asking. It kind of seems like it’s both, but I’m no fediverse expert.
I guess it really just depends how much of a stickler the lemmy.world mods are, and/or if they have any way of finding out I’m linking to stuff like that.
My logic behind joining lemmy.world was that defederation may be an issue, current or future, therefore it made sense to join the one that for one has the most people, and for two is the least likely to be defederated or randomly defederate others.
Granted, I believe beehaw did in fact defederate .world, and I think it was not long after, so maybe I did choose poorly.
I was tempted to join feddit.uk, but I wasn’t sure if that would put the unnecessary identifier of “This guy’s probably British!” on me everywhere I go.
