    Where you create one matters for local rules and policies, and who they federate with or don’t.

    You do all of your browsing on your home instance, including the viewing and commenting on posts from other instances.

      Most big instances in Mastodon gave agreed to giving 3-month notice in case they shut down to give time for people who don’t wish to go down with the ship to migrate their accounts to other instances. I can imagine it being the same in Lemmy, adding possible community migration
