Just an FYI post for folks who are new or recently returning to Lemmy, I have
updated the linked grease/tamper/violentmonkey script for Lemmvy v0.18. These
two scripts (a compact version and a large thumbnail version) substantially
rearrange the default Lemmy format. These are (finally) relatively stable for
desktop/widescreen. Future versions will focus a little more on the
mobile/handheld experience. These are theme agnostic and should work with darkly
and litely (and variants) themes. - Greasyfork here:

As always, feedback is appreciated!
Still definitely a work in progress but it’s great so far.
Think of it like email.
An account on gmail can still talk to a Yahoo account. Now just apply that to users and communities on lemmy.
I’m on iusearchlinux.fyi but can still engage with communities and users on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
So, but, forgive my ignorance, but why? Is it a hosting/capacity issue? Why multiple instances with different addresses?
I couldn’t sign up on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml (I think) but registered on redd.that. What does that mean for me?
It’s spez-proof
If I don’t like how my instance is run I can jump ship to another, or even make my own, and still interact with the same communities.
