Ah, okay

I think I’m not exposed with multiple sub reddits with similar names, although ive been using it for more than 10 years

Thanks for the info :D

I think its a good example of how one platform with its ecosystem/culture can shapes our habits.

in my opinion, i think the feature of up voting and down voting in reddit are created to bring something relevant to the surface, while “hiding” something that deem not important to the discussions.

While over the years, this trend and culture changes just to silences someone that doesn’t share the way we see the world.

I do not like disabling the downvote button because of this, but i think it is better to disable it, if we tend to abuse it

Hello, thank you for the post,

This clears up a few things for me, because the concept of Fediverse are still “abstract” for me.

When i first join, I created multiple accounts on lemmy.world, beehaw, lemmy.ml, because i thinks its mini Reddit, with its own content, and its own account.

Now i know that i only need one account, and i can still see the post from another instances.

There’s still some questions that i can’t understand

1. The decentralized nature of the Fediverse, how does one search or now what community on another instances?

2. Say when in Reddit, we have /r/aww for example, it means that lemmy, beehaw, or another instances can have their own /c/aww ? does it means that we have multiple instances of /c/aww or, we have one single /c/aww but distributed between multiple instances

Sorry for the bad English :D

Hello, after reading all the comments, I realized that I share the same questions (sort of) with the others.

Thank you for replying and clarify things

Cheers Ruud. And thank you 😊

Hello, i still doesn’t quite grasp about the concept of federation and about how fediverse works.

But does it means that one instance can only run from one server?

Say lemmy.world running on Server A lemmy.ml running on Server B

User can register on whichever they want and can see the post from server A and Server B

But when Server A reach maximum capacity, can Server A scale up or distribute the load to multiple instances?

How can we solve the issue of computing power when more and more users migrate to using this services

Thank you 😀

Sorry if its a dumb question, but the whole Federation concept is still new to me. I created multiple account to log in to beehaw, mastodon, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml at first because i dont know that with one user, i can see other communities from another instances
