Let me make sure I have this right:
- there are separate Lemmy instances
- I can chat with other people from other instances (like email)
If I wanted to join the same communities as a friend, do I need to sign up for another instance or do communities ‘live’ on multiple instances? For instance, a community on ‘cats.’ If there is one on {instance1} and {instance2}. They aren’t the same, right?
Tell me how! People expect all good things on the internet to be free on but there are costs.
