Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

I'm still not sure I understand how communities and instances work.

If I create an instance here will it show in other instances? Because I did create one on Lemmy world and I can't see it in the other instance I am at with my other account, even though I look at "all"

Lemmyworld is an instance. The other one with the other account is also an instance. You do not create an instance on an instance.

You create a new instance by setting up a new web server and having it run lemmy for users to sign on to.

Content propagation’s another issue.

Sorry. I meant that I created a community in one instance and can't see it in an other

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Someone from that other instance needs to look for your community for it to show up on that instance.
