  • Accounts are local to each instance. There is nothing stopping you from creating the user account, “dabu” at multiple instances, but there is little point in doing so. They are independent of each other, and currently, there is no concept of karma within the platform.

    Your lemmy.world account can be used to post/reply on other instances (lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc.), and you can subscribe to communities on any other available instance so long as that particular instance is not blocked by your home instance.



  • Absolutely you can, but expecting a completely new user to even figure out what it means to do so is a big ask. Some users can’t even figure out how to login using the app.

    From the viewpoint of user adoption though, it just doesn’t make sense to me to present new users with what is likely to be a very sparse “social network”, unless they have registered at one of the top 3 instances (something being discouraged by at least one of these top 3).




  • I’ve primarily used Arch for my workstations since around 2007, and sometimes Debian Sid. I recently switched all of my workstations to Fedora Silverblue however, and I’ve been very happy with this type of workflow; flatpaks for user apps, containers for my dev environments, and automated image-based core OS updates. I am convinced this is the future of Linux computing for most users.
