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.
If it goes down you can’t get on your regular account, but I made a backup account on another server for when that happens.
A backup account like a second account? Or does your main account back up to the other one?
Like just a second account, I can’t be bothered to do anything fancy.
