For example, I’m on Lemmy.ml and I’ve joined [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. In this example, it’s not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.

How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?

    I started by joining only one instance (vlemmy.net). When it went down, I realized I needed more, so I joined 3.

    As for the communities, I subscribed to whichever clone had more traffic.

    I comment and post from whatever instance I’m logged on, as sometimes - especially in the recent weeks - one or two are temporarily down.

        Not to be rude, but they clearly explained why. I did pretty much the same thing after my main account on Vlemmy died

        Interesting, came from lemmy.world to say hi from there too, but this is your last comment in the thread when accessing from there. It’s one of the largest instances, but the slowest of the 3 I use.
