I’m thinking about deploying my own instance where I’d be the only user and most probable I won’t have any communities.
The only thing there will be my account to interact with as many other instances as I want.

What would be de pros and cons of having my account like this?
Would it be harder to interact with other instances in some way?

    You can actually, it’s what I’m doing right now. You just need to initially add the instance through the search bar. Obviously they could always have a whitelist, or remove the connection, but lemmy.ml doesn’t seem to do that right now.

      Interesting. Commenting has been fine but I didn’t see an option to create a new post to a remote community. I’ll play with it some more!

        @knova You have to search for the remote community and subscribe to it. It will then appear in the list of communities you can choose from when you are composing a new post

          Yes. I see now it’s possible from the post creator. I had no problem subscribing to remote communities, but I did not initially see them in my post creation form. I went back and double checked and of course they were there the entire time 😅
