Excellent, thank you. The last time I used the Lemmy was when the Reddit API stuff was happening, so I didn't know the specifics. I appreciate your patience in explaining this.
I knew I could link to other instances and see their posts, but I didn't know that they needed a longer name.
As an aside, am I fine overall being part of a relatively small instance, or as an average user who wants a replacement for Reddit, am I better off having my account located on one of the larger instances?
Like if Lemmy.zip is too small and eventually shuts down, do I just lose my account?
Lemmy.zip is a great instance. I mean, look at this report: https://lemmy.zip/post/33065677
And they do this every month!
Awesome, thanks for the reassurance.
there's nothing at all wrong with a small instance, although afaik if your instance goes offline your account is lost. I haven't been active much between the api thing and recently, so it's possible they implemented the much asked-for account migration feature in the intervening years.
