Absolutely. I never meant to suggest otherwise. I’m just saying, people should spend more time picking an instance.

I mean they’re being really clear that they plan to basically do subtle griefing of other NATO friendly instances… They’re also fueled by misinformation and perpetuates it. Honestly the web needs a little censorship. I know that if I really wanted to see them they’re other instances I could be on. This one just cleans up a little better.

I leaned no one on Lemmy are as helpful as they seem. Nor as nice… I gave up on trying to run my own instance… My life is too busy and hard to find time for this anyway…

Not quite. From what I’ve read, I think only text is downloaded, pictures and other media are just links. So not everything needs to be downloaded. Also to trigger/maintain this connection (federation) at least one person from your instance needs to be subscribed.

But you won’t find this community in the search bar because you’re not federated yet. So to trigger the initial federation you’ll need to search for the full URL, the entire URL including “https://” (https://lemdro.id/c/android) It won’t show up at first, so try again in a few seconds, and sometimes you’ll need to try a lot of times if the instances are running slowly. But eventually your instance will find the other community on the other instance.

But at the time I’m writing this lemdro.id is apparently offline so it won’t work at all right now.

I still don’t understand what it is or why is there…
