I'm definitely seeing the benefits of belonging to a smaller Lemmy instance today. (self.meta)

I've gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

... and I can't access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

I would love for someone to explain how the data itself works between instances because my mind was blown that I can view content from Lemmy.World while it is down if I simply log into another instance, like Yiffit. Is the content itself shared across instances?

Imagine multiple reddit servers instances that synchronize between each other, this is how this works
