Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
@major_malarkey@lemmy.one Communities have an owner. This owner is a single user account representing the admin of the community.
The owner and the community MUST have the same home server. So a community can only have one home server at the moment. It’s visible from anywhere, you can post from anywhere, mods can be from anywhere. But the home server of the community is the central point that receive posts from other servers and send them to other servers. If the home server is dead, the community is dead.
If you don’t like the “gaming” community from a certain server, you can create another gaming community on another server. But that’s no different from reddit. You can create a r/anime_titties if you don’t like the community about world news.
Migration of communities (or users for that matter) from a lemmy server to another lemmy server isn’t supported yet. It’s easy to ditch a user account an recreate one somewhere else, but be very careful before choosing a home server for your community.
