Anyone can put Lemmy on their website

All the Lemmy websites talk to each other

You went to the website lemm.ee, so you're a lemm.ee user

It's good for the network if people don't all use the same website

Got it. Is there a way for me to transfer or do you just register into a new account once I figure out the best server for me?

You have to make a new account in order to move instances. But I think you can export your subscriptions.

Awesome thanks! I will scan around for a couple weeks and then register into a new account. Being a reddifugee with the recent censorship and a big “Center for humane tech” nerd am excited to be shifting in a better direction - so will for sure be invested in server and site health.

You can switch if you want, but it's really okay if you stay on lemm.ee too.

If you look at active users on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, Lemmy.world has 18500, while lemm.ee only has 6700, so no need to move. It's also well managed, the admins are quite reactive and transparent: !meta@lemm.ee

Got it so I am not on the lemmy death star just a lemmy destroyer. (If things went south)

I recommend checking what instances are blocked by your instance of choice, I chose this instance because there's extremely limited censorship.

It’s always a good idea to check out your instance policies. Mine blocks porn, for example. It’s a very important lens through which you will view the network.

It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to register for an instance that has very different beliefs from your own, unless that’s expressly what you want for educational purposes.

I’m from Reddit too. I started on Lemm.ee and I made accounts at like 4 other instances. It’s extremely easy to make accounts and switch in the app you’re using (I’m on Voyager).

Feddit.org, a German server, was down earlier for Maintenace and I switched to infosec. It’s really easy. Not a commitment to apply and jump between instances.

You don’t have to wait. You could apply for a few you like the description of and try them out. If you don’t like them, don’t use them. If you like them—stau! :)

You can browse instances without an account before applying for one, if you want to get a taste first.

Think of your instance you signed up as as your email provider. Using that email you can send messages to anyone else who has an email. You do not have to pick a specific email provider to use email, gmail, hotmail etc they can all talk to each other. Lemmy works in a similar way except it not limited to DMs, the instance you sign up for allows you to talk to people across all Lemmy instances and see posts from other instances. When you go to "All" on Lemmy you are seeing all posts across all instances. When you go to Local, you are only seeing your home instance.
