Ah thanks. So does the home instance matter at all? Seems like not really as long as you can subscribe other instances?
Each instance will have it's own set of rules and moderation process (Beehaw is moderated and limits new users, lemmy.ml has a political angle etc) so it can make a difference. I signed up to lemmy.nz because I was already on mastodon.nz and am chipping in for server costs, and because I wanted a properly 'local' local feed. Plus the community here is pretty awesome.
It matters in a few ways. Instances can defederate from each other, so you have to keep that on mind when choosing where to sign up.
Also when posting something, you have to think about the rules of the server you're posting on and your home server. Even if the server you're posting on allows it, your home server may not like you posting it.
Ah interesting. I'm wondering if I should sign up on the lemmy nz one then
Honesty it is unlikely to be an issue, you could just sign up on a different instance at the time it becomes an issue (if ever).
Good point. I realise now I can view this one from kbin as well
