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
Yep, the worker bees are buzzing really hard today.
yea - same.
lemmy.world is not accessible for me
Same, it's why I made this account. Maybe I should have joined programming.dev, being a software engineer myself lol
I'm reading your comment from world. They were doing upgrades earlier which may be why you couldn't get in.
I’m new to Lemmy, but what I’m doing is keep one account on a large instance to host communities (higher exposure) and another for browsing and commenting.
I can't view the comments on this post. I have tried the website and three different apps
It's better for people to spread out to other smaller instances. That's how the fediverse scales.
