In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being “harder”* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies’ services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

  • “harder” because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

    Hey, the speed issue is solely because the instance you’re on, Lemmy.world, is way overcrowded. You can resolve this issue by joining a smaller instance or even hosting your own. The best part of Lemmy is you aren’t tied to any one server. You can create an account on a different instance/site and never miss a Lemmy post. I’m on my own private instance and have zero issues with loading speed

      That sounds very doable. I’ll have to look for a tutorial and work on that next chance that I get.

      How do I transfer my subscriptions to another server, though? Do you really just have to re-sub to everything all over again?

      Because I have so many subs now…

          I made an account on a separate server just to test and it does indeed perform tons better. Just sucks there isn’t some way to “own” your user and download like a fingerprint of it on demand from a server, so you could easily transfer yourself somewhere else.
