So i was earlier at mainstream social media apps, by it was very shitty(dumb people), then I went to reddit, after some while I realised it’s also shit(clown people and dumb mods, like no freedom). So now I found this. I have few queries- 1.How does fediverse and lemmy work, couldn’t find much on the Internet and AI wasn’t much help either. 2.Whats the environment here? 3.What all words and how freedom is allowed here? 4.What are some general rules/unspoken tradition to follow if any? 5.Anything else u wanna tell about

    Oooooof. Guess I gotta learn how to move myself to another instance now, and if my fave app will even work with that instance. Heh. Sigh. How disappointing. Really appreciate you calling it out, explaining it, and sharing the source.

      There isn’t any mechanism for migrating your accounts, you would just make an account elsewhere and abandon this one.

      I’m not sure how much it matters that you’re using Lemmy software when you’re on an instance that isn’t the the devs’, but money talks I suppose. Generally instance owners pay attention to changes and keep things configured in a sane way

      But just the same, the same team that runs lemmy.world also run piefed.world if you still think you feel you need to switch to different software. It’s what I did. But you can move to piefed.social if you’d rather ditch the team entirely

        You answered what I was confused about in your post. I just had to re-read/let it marinate. I’m on piefed.social now, thanks again for your help! :)

        Ah interesting! I thought we could migrate accounts, is that a feature with Bluesky? (I think maybe that’s what I was thinking of…) I like using the Boost for Lemmy app (it was initially Boost for Reddit before the API shutdown so I kept the app and changed to Lemmy), and when I go to the add account screen there’s a whole big list of instances for me to choose from so I guess I just need to research/find a list of who owns what and start over again. Haha. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! :)

        Edit: Or are all these different instances I’m seeing here still using the same Lemmy software. I think I may have misunderstood the “software” part of your comment initially… But now I’m even more confused. Haha. Yay for tech rabbit holes! :)
