I’m very excited to see how this all develops. Right now it’s pretty rough and the constant failure to load/comments getting duplicated or disappearing hurts a lot but it does have potential. Let the Lemmy’s free!
Serverload on lemmy.world is very strained atm, but there are lots of other instances where you get a much smoother experience. I started out creating an account on lemmy.world at the time of the reddit migration, but I soon discovered that the server was frequently down on account of the migration. So I switched to lemm.ee and the difference was very noticeable. I have switched back and forth the last couple of days, and loading times are still much higher on lemmy.world than lemm.ee, so I guess it is all about finding a smaller less busy instance if you want to rid yourself of the lag.
Since a lot of reddit migrants seems to have ended up on lemmy.world, I really hope the server lag isn’t going to be a deterrant for them.
That’s understandable, I think my (and many other refugee adopters) are just trying to figure out how the fediverse works and how instances communicate with each other. If I have a .world account I can pull threads from the other Lemmy servers, can I cross the streams into something like Mastodon too?
Yes, you can view and interact with mastadon and knin accounts though lemmy. tho something like kbin integrates better with lemmy because their interfaces are pretty similar. I think as development continues we will see better tools for different areas of the fediverse to better interact with eachother.

I believe “Lemmings” is the preferred nomenclature :P
I’d rather not be called a lemming tbh. Especially during these times online
