I’ve just created an account on Lemmy.world and am able to subscribe for communities in lemmy.ml. Can I use it there? Can I use same credentials for all lemmy instances? Does it make a difference where I create one?

    Thank you, that explains a lot. Since I already got your attention, maybe you can answer one more question for me. Let’s say I’ve created another instance of lemmy on my homeserver, people have joined it, there’s some content. And then I decide to pull the plug, my server fries, whatever - does that mean all the content goes too? Or is it possible for multiple people to host the same instance so we always have a backup?

      All the content will die with the server if the server fries. It’s common for hosts to do regular data backups.

      But as far as I know you can only have 1 of the same instance at a time.
