    The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.

    Ngl I’m wandering around here a bit blind. If anyone can answer some simple, stupid questions that would be fantastic.

    What’s the difference between lemmy.world and lemmy.ml? Is one more popular?

    What app are you guys using? I’m torn between Memmy and Mlem.

    This is less important but: can you have profile avatars? I didn’t see them on one app but did on another, kinda odd.

    Anyway, fuck Spez.

      There are a lot of servers, I am on lemm.ee for example. Most are federated with each other so you can see and interact with every post from every community, so usually it doesn’t matter which one you sign up with.

      Sometimes a server gets maintenance issues or makes moderation decisions that make users want to move, and portable accounts aren’t a thing yet in the Lemmy code, so some people have accounts on more than one server. Portable accounts is a top requested feature, so hopefully the dev implements it in a near-future update.

      Lemmy.world has open account creation, while Lemmy.ml requires an essay to create an account. For that reason, I believe .world has more users. But you can access content from either one no matter which you make an account on. Similarly, you could pick another instance or even host your own and still see and post content to other instances in the Fediverse.

      I’ve tried out Mlem and Memmy, and so far I have preferred Memmy. The dev has been improving it at an insane rate too, so if you don’t love it yet, just wait a couple weeks and check again.

      I think some instances have profile pics disabled? I’m not entirely sure though.

      Fuck u/spez, indeed.
