  • There is a lot of debate on whether or not small instances help or make it worse, mostly due to how Lemmy handles pushing updates.

    The main consensus is that joining a small to medium sized instance would have the smallest footprint on Lemmy.

    That being said, Lemmy has a lot more developers working on it now it has all this attention and now they can see where Lemmy struggles on large instances, so what is true today may not be true in the future.







  • I haven’t looked at peer tube yet but I highly recommend anyone who is curious about a federated Twitter check out Mastadon.

    It feels like a much more polished experience than Lemmy and I think is a good example of what federated sites can become.

    Also it wasn’t in the question, but Pixelfed is basically a federated version of Instagram for those curious as well.
