Day 2 here, and I can see the growth already. Personally I really like the notion of how its gonna shape up in the future but at the same time I really feel for the average user as of now its too complex to understand the working and how the cross servers thing is working. I mean yes still early days, UI will improve further leading to a better UX but the core mechanism yet is little tough to get along. For instance, still unclear if I made the right choice by signing up on lemmydotworld why not lemmydotml , beehaw etc… and where does this stop? like in the coming times i it would be like a thousands of servers lemmy.this lemmy.that lemmy.etc or anything.anything. That’s soo confusing for someone who just wanna join a server. Would be interesting to see how “signup anywhere, its the same thing” evolves.
So there’s nothing like hosted instances are using resources, and that can vary?
The server that hosts your account, and the server that hosts the content are independent. They all speak the same language and talk to each other regardless of where they are. So if the server hosting a thread is overloaded, then comments might take a bit to load, but you can still post on another thread on another server no problem. Eventually they all sync up. If that’s what you mean?
