User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn’t mean your account exists on lemmy.ca.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

Communities are fragmented and /c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml with its own users, set of posts, etc.

Lemmy does not currently allow for instance or user migration.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3057

Nor does it allow for shared communities (ie the aforementioned /c/games is unified across multiple instances)

We are in the early days. If you’re eager feel free to join in the development on these any many other core issues. There’s real potential here.

    So there is a !trees@lemmy.world and !trees@no.lastname.nz (pluss probably others)

    The first is more or less r/trees the second I set up for therapeutic uses of ‘trees’ and shrooms

    Each instance will have it’s own ethos, mod policies and code of conduct. Choose your communities based on what gets posted to them.

    The same could be said for [hypothetical] !worldnewa@beehaw.org and !worldnews@lemmygrad.ml. They would be very different communities to read
