You don’t need to join lemmy.world. Just a heads up.
…Unless they do a massive defederation like Beehaw.
There’s instances that are federated with both though. I’m on one of them.
You’ve just got to keep in mind that it’s not completely clean. Beehaw defederated from 2 of the largest instances making it useless for most users on the site.
Oh for sure. I started at beehaw and ended up on tf because I wanted access to everything.
it’s not hard to make an account on other instances
Fine by me, what they did is actually a feature of the Fediverse. People fear what they don’t understand and based on comments at the time, there was a lot of misunderstanding.
It is what it is The fedi drama makes it kinda interesting lmao

My instance lemm.ee is sooo bad, totally don’t join our awesome club so I get longer load times. 🤫 How can we bare having not banning the evil porn and federating with all the other instances!
Also a cute lil instance at https://literature.cafe/ opened up too.
Hello fellow lemm.ee user 👋
I used to see reports that you could “carry over” your account from one instance to another. Do you have any details on this, or whether this also works between different services (e.g. KBin and Lemmy)?
This works on Mastodon, but not on Lemmy/Kbin (yet). Migration between Lemmy and Kbin in general could be tough since they’re completely different softwares and Lemmy lacks support for several Kbin functions (such as Boosts and Microblogging).
Account migration between Lemmy instances has been requested on GitHub but I don’t know much beyond that. If you just want a profile redirect it might not be too complicated, but migrating full post and comment history is a different story.
Scripts have been created to transfer settings and subscriptions from one Lemmy account to another, however:
Being able to link/synchronize accounts a cross instances would be huge for continuing to use lemmy when your main instance is having trouble or goes down.
And I think if accounts were globally federated so that you could just log into any instance, it would take away the main complaint many people have when they claim lemmy is confusing.
Some posts and comments don’t show up on some instances. I prefer to stay with the bigger ones for that matter
@metaright@kbin.social Account migration isn’t possible yet. But you can sign up to as many instances as you like with the same username and email. Also you can post to any KBin or Lemmy instance as long as it’s federated with your home instance.
However sometimes there’s issues, like right now with me not being able to reply to you directly.
Sync actually helped me figure out that I can sign up for lemmy.this and still see stuff for lemmy.that. the organization is the tricky part it seems. I can look at the everything section and see it all but I would like to see an everything that includes my subscribed things (subreddits for lack of knowing the correct term) I’m sure that will come though as Sync gets more and more polished
