Thank you! I will donate tomorrow
Be aware that you use another server so you might consider donating to them instead.
I have an account on yours too, but I might split it between both indeed :)
I'm curious, why bother with multiple accounts? It seems counterintuitive when taking federation into account
I do it for the following reasons:
Taking some load from the biggest servers such as LW. I still have a community on LW however, and mod with my local account
Well, I canβt answer for them but this situation in particular makes it nice to have accounts on different instances. If I canβt log on to/load my lemmy.world account then I can switch to my lemm.ee account and load content there.
I have accounts on both lemmy.world and outpost.zeuslink.net. I have had a lot of problems with seeing posts from the smaller instance, while lemmy.world has been overloaded due to the massive Reddit exodus and script kiddies.
I created the account on the smaller instance first, but I'm still having a ton of issues with federation on that one (many communities still come up blank there, while lemmy.world has enough users that I can see everything when it isn't down).
since 0.18.2 I havn't noticed any federation issues with my own personal instance, nothing obvious anyway.
So far federation seems to be a lot better since the fix from last week - I can't say that I've seen anything out of place or out of sync myself, but I am trying to keep a vigilant eye out for anything that's been overlooked!
