The focus is on Mastodon for sure, but lately it seems Mastodon is the Twitter alternative and Lemmy is now becoming the Reddit alternative so hopefully more attention will come to Lemmy.
I'm really hoping he ports Relay over to Lemmy, but that is a pipe dream at this point. He's currently planning to shut everything down at the end of the month when the new API pricing goes live...
New to Lemmy - so this is a newbie question ... I joined midwest.social and logged on via that server. If one creates a community, is it specific to the server you logged into (e.g. midwest.social) or is it shared across other servers?
It’s only shared locally on the server you share it on. If you want to share it to other communities, you need to explicitly share it on those communities on the remote servers.
