I'm liking it so far. But given this is a federated replacement of Reddit, how does replication of communities work? Cuz there are multiple Technology or World News communities in different instances. Which one do we follow?

I'm only just starting the last week or so, but I feel like because it's a bit smaller there's better discussion. Most minor annoyance with it though is some quality of life things not being there like RES (browsing everything with J + K etc.) and that multiple times a day it gives me Server Error / Cloudflare error pages.
I run out of content to read much more quickly than I did with Reddit, so I'm antsy/restless more often, because I pick up my phone and then have nothing to do on it.
I was commenting a fair bit early on, but have stopped so much cause that's just how I react to social media.
Have completely stopped using Reddit after baconreader died, and check Lemmy once, maybe twice a day. Nowhere near what I did Reddit but such is the way of things.
It has led me to go properly check out Mastodon so I'm more active over there (but still not really active)
Very good. Seems like a nice place to be in.
I really like it and use it every day. I still use old.reddit.com a bit but I like Lemmy and Kbin more.
Lemmy is great. So great that I named myself after it (my nickname was just "Resol" before then, now it's obviously "Resol van Lemmy", it sounds very Flemish). I do have a problem with it though. Most communities I was active on on Reddit are either nonexistent on Lemmy or just not big enough to maintain daily activity, making them look like ghost towns. Also, I had to shuffle between different clients because I didn't have a satisfactory experience with some, I'm currently using Sync because the interface is so nice (although I like how Jerboa shows the upvote to downvote ratio in addition to the total score). In addition to all this, I got help cutting down on screentime thanks to the Fediverse. I just didn't have much addiction anymore, which is always a good thing. I don't know what else to say.
Flemish or Dutch indeed, very fancy.
So I used lemmy world and then lemmy winks because world had up time issues and now I keep making ones on new instances seeing as winks seems to be dead
Memes are about the only consistent content on lemmy
Pretty good, though I'm not mainly using Lemmy directly. I run a Kbin instance that I've been using primarily, but I've also been testing Artemis with the developer's artemis.camp instance, and I have Infinity for Lemmy signed into my lemmy.world account.
There's less content here than on Reddit, but I think it's higher quality. There's less trolling and shitposting here (unless seeking it out on purpose then there's plenty).
I joint today because Kbin is very slow to browse, so I figured I create an account here, but I don't get why there is a lemm.me and lemmy.world which both look identical but it seems I can't log in there using my username here?
