Federation is pretty cool (lemmy.ubergeek77.chat)

I noticed my feed on Lemmy was pretty dry today, even for Lemmy. Took me a while to realize lemmy.ml has been going up and down all morning, and isn't federating new posts.

But, since this is all still federated, I can still create and read posts on other instances while I wait. Even this one! Any other service would just be unavailable completely right now.

I do miss the larger communities on lemmy.ml - asklemmy, memes, and I really wanted to watch the reddit fallout on /c/reddit. Maybe I'll look around for some good replacements for those. Open to suggestions!

Create a username on some other instance then search for the intsnace on lemmy.ml and just subscribe and post and comment. So much easiter. When i started yesterday i started with lemmy.ml but was like why is it so slow. realized that it just goes up and down so i created a username and lemmy.world and haven't looked back

I did the same. Started on .ml then moved to .world to spread the load. Also heard some things about the mods on .ml

So can you use the same username on a different instance, or do they have to be globally unique? I decided to be polite and pick a small server to sign up on, but it seems to have limited connection to other instances.

I believe the names have to be unique on the instance-level, but not on the federal-level. So [email protected] and [email protected] are two different and valid usernames.
