One thing I’m not clear about is the impact my home instance has on me. I joined lemmy.world and am currently using the connect for lemmy app. I know when I sort by Local it will only show me posts from lemmy.world, but beyond that are there any things to keep in mind?
I have read that lemmy.world has been hit by DDoS attacks but I’ve never had any problem using connect for Lemmy during those times as far as I know.
You must log in or register to comment.
- local filter for posts in communities you’re not subscribed to
- defederated and blocked - of the instance and from the instance
- hosting, updating, performance, uptime, sustainability, risk of disappearance, security, responsiveness on issues
- settings, UI, additional hosted tools
- rules and focus for local communities
IMO there’s nothing to keep in mind on everyday use. But these things are things to consider when deciding what to use in a mindful manner.
