Create a username on some other instance then search for the intsnace on lemmy.ml and just subscribe and post and comment. So much easiter. When i started yesterday i started with lemmy.ml but was like why is it so slow. realized that it just goes up and down so i created a username and lemmy.world and haven't looked back
I did the same. Started on .ml then moved to .world to spread the load. Also heard some things about the mods on .ml
So can you use the same username on a different instance, or do they have to be globally unique? I decided to be polite and pick a small server to sign up on, but it seems to have limited connection to other instances.
I believe the names have to be unique on the instance-level, but not on the federal-level. So [email protected] and [email protected] are two different and valid usernames.
