I'm liking it so far, but a couple of things confuse me about the multiple instances thing.
I've made an account in lemmy.world and for the most part, have found my favorite communities are on the grow here.
However, I know there are other popular instances like lemmy.ml and such. Do our accounts not work cross compatible across the various lemmy instances?
Novice so please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is you can still see and post on these other instances/communities. Local will still pull from your instance, but All pulls from everything (or at least what's still federated). Definitely a need to block all the furry biz that otherwise populates on All/New but after some curating (and eye bleaching) should be good to go!
