I decided to pick a smaller instance myself to be considerate, but I've noticed that not everything from other instances is coming through. Like right now I'm missing the post in here about Reddit forcing r/AdviceAnimals open. And every now and then I see a flood of new posts from other instances appear on my feed, but then if I refresh it's all gone again. I'm thinking of joining one or two of the larger instances too.

I had to do that twice yesterday. Then the second time, when I didn't find the answer I needed at the top, I realized that new Reddit's stupid design ruined it by hiding most of the comments behind a button.
Ich glaube dass "DACH" immer schon im Sidebar stand.
I just refresh a few times, and I figure whatever the median number is is the real karma lol
So can you use the same username on a different instance, or do they have to be globally unique? I decided to be polite and pick a small server to sign up on, but it seems to have limited connection to other instances.
Haha I got bit by that today. Had to use the wayback machine.
Oh, neat. I tried !de_EDV@feddit.de and nothing showed up at first, but then I tried just de_EDV again and now I see it and was able to join. Got some posts and now new comments are starting to come in. Looks like that worked!
