When I signed up to lemmy.world, I thought I was choosing one instance to use. I didn't intially realize they were ALL available from RVERY instance.
Since then I've joined Lemmy.ca, lemmynsfw, and beehaw.
But then you're still not getting it? You don't need to join other instances, you can subscribe to communities from any instances in the Fediverse without joining another instance.
That's what I'm saying, when I joined I thought I HAD to, since I didn't understand federation.
Now I know how it works
