Not complaining by any means–wefwef is becoming my favorite way to access lemmy on my Android phone–just curious if any of the rest of you are seeing this a lot? I’m on lemmy.world, so it’s entirely possible there are load issues, but I was just curious.

      Why a temporary account? It’s a federation so all posts and comments posted will be seen on all federated servers/instances. For example, I’m on the lemmy.ca instance and I can read your comment and reply to you, no problem.

        Also depends on what sort of lemmy community you want, some allow nsfw but not porn, some allow downvotes, some don’t. Some have defederated from lots of communities shrinking the content you can access. When I sorted through the giant table of lemmy servers and looked at which ones had the things I wanted in a server, there were only one or two that would work for me. Of course that list will grow, but it’s not so easy to just switch.

          True. I had to painstakingly subscribe to all the communities, but now I’m good, I’m staying at lemmy.ca. In a federated system, we can’t have users subscribbing only to one instance. It needs to be balanced out.

            Yeah, I just spent half an hour re-subscribing to all of my .world communites at lemm.ee. A hassle, but also kinda fun. Encountered a few "subscription pending"s --which I’m not sure is a traffic issue, or not…

        Until cross instance delay improves, what you are saying is easier said than done. I’m experiencing hours to days delays on comment updates from threads across instances. It’s beyond annoying

        A couple of reasons…

        1. Lemmy.world is a large instance and thus has a lot of communities. Your local feed will be very robust as opposed to if you go to a very small instance or a self hosted one.

        2. Picking too small of an instance could mean the admin might decide they get bored with it one day or can’t keep it up for whatever reason. You will lose your account entirely this way.
