There’s a learning curve with “how do I know which instance to join?” and then “how do I find communities from other instances?” But I’m getting the hang of it.
What it needs most is a UI overhaul. If Apollo came to the fediverse it would be a game changer.
How do I choose an instance? I’ve made accounts of same name on Lemmy.ml, beehaw, and here. Which one I use, and what do I with the others?
I think you can just use whichever one you find most convenient, I would wager lemmy.ml would be your best bet as it's the most active instance. The other accounts I think you could just keep as a backup in case the main lemmy.ml instance goes down.
Is there any point to having more than 1? As long as the instance isn’t shut down it shouldn’t really matter which one is “Home” right?
Right, as long as your instance's server is up, you should be able to interact with any content using ActivityPub.
