I took one for the team and created account on another instance only to help with the load on lemmy.world. So you are welcome everyone, enjoy those extra nanoseconds you gained thanks to my absence.

Also, please don’t call me a hero, I am just an ordinary man that wants to make lemmy.world a better place…

    I wanted to do the same, but when I created account on another instance, I was then unable to find the same communities as on lemmy.world. What am I doing wrong?

      All communities won’t show up on instances automatically so it may be that you’re the first person on your instance to ‘subscribe’ to that community! In my experience with lemmy, you can simply add /c/community_name@instance.tld (TLD=top level domain) to whatever instance you’re at and that should pull that community in, but it could take a few seconds.

      This example url would access the /c/general community @lemmy.world from lemmy.zip:

      lemmy.zip/c/general@lemmy.world

      I’m still learning all of this too, so I’m sure there’s a better way - hope this helps some though!
