For example, I’m on Lemmy.ml and I’ve joined !photography@lemmy.ml, !photography@lemmy.world, and !photography@kbin.social. 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?

    That’s the thing, you don’t have to care which server is comes from. You can just comment and upvote as usual.

      But then how will I know which instance is the real one and not the impostor? What if I join an itailian instance, will I be the impasta?

        If you have two friends called Tom, are they the same to you? You are rarely@sh.itjust.works, if a rarely@lemmy.world or rarely@lemmy.ml comes up, he will not be you

          I’m sorry, but I think we’ve fallen victim to Poe’s Law here. Fret not, I understand the concept well, I was just cosplaying as someone who did not, laregly out of frustration for mankind’s dependency on centralized services.

            It’s okay, sarcasm is hard to convey on the internet. Have a good one
