Our gracious host @JonahAragorn asks that we sign up on a server on join-lemmy.org or sign up on kbin.social instead of directing everybody to use the lemmy.one server specifically, in order to distribute the load.
Thank you!

If the current mods of r/atheism on Reddit want to create a new community here on lemmy.one, they can message me as described here: https://lemmy.one/post/41
If people are just looking for an existing atheism community here on the Lemmy network, there are atheism communities already on other servers, such as !atheism@lemmy.ml.
I think we should have new users go to join-lemmy and specifically go to like near the bottom and register there to decentralize lemmy thorooughly
Thanks. It’s clear I don’t understand how this works. I was wondering if/when reddit implodes if this place would be able to handle the traffic. Again, don’t think I understand how this works. I’m learning. Thanks again.
So yeah… whatever instance your account is associated with can subscribe to any community from any other instance. You just have to view it “through” your instance that you’re logged into.
So, say someone has their account with lemmy.ml - they would go to: https://lemmy.ml/c/exchristian@lemmy.one and they could subscribe to it using their lemmy.ml account, and would be able to interact with it through their lemmy.ml account (rather than having to sign up for lemmy.one to subscribe to it).
It also works visa-versa. Say someone has a Lemmy.one account and they want to subscribe to a community on Lemmy.ca… for instance, WowThisLemmyExists:
They login to lemmy.one, and then go to https://lemmy.one/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca and they could subscribe to it using their lemmy.one account.
The only caveat is that the instance that your account is on has to have been “federated” (connected) with the instance that the community is on. (Which you can check if you go to the bottom of the page and click “instances”)
