    Glad to see you here!

    The reason I push people to Lemmy.World is that you mostly don’t need to learn anything about federation. It’s obvious enough over time what the @ symbols are, and you basically pick it up through osmosis.

    If you start on a really small instance, your people might not subscribe to many foreign communities. If nobody subscribes to a foreign community, it doesn’t get pulled over and doesn’t show up in ALL. That can make Lemmy look pretty barren, and you have to go out and find communities (somehow) on your own.

    If you start at Lemmy.World, the all tab just works. The local tab is even a fine experience, though I wouldn’t use it here. Similar arguments with lemmy.ca and sopuli.xyz for Canada and Europe. Their all tabs might be slightly worse, but for those people the local tab should be better (actually more local), balancing it out.
