I’m still quite lost when it comes to the fediverse. I created an account on the main instance, however as I understood more how it works, it seems like certain instances that interest me are “defederated” from this instance, and vice versa. So now I want to move my account to be able to see those instances, however I want to keep my follows and my posts I have on this instance. Is that possible? I read that fediverse is resistant to censorship in this regard, so there must be something I’m missing here.
As far as we’re concerned there is no “main” instance, we don’t want there to be one, and we explicitly state that lemmy.ml is not that. What is lemmy.ml?
Thanks for that, didn’t know! I was unaware that there was an official stance on the matter, though even nutomic makes the point that it’s easy to conflate “flagship instance” with “main instance.”
The core Lemmy devs admin this instance and use it as a guinea pig for new software releases, but otherwise it’s not special.
Gotcha.
