With all the new users coming to Lemmy, myself included, I thought we could pin an FAQ to this community.
Here are a few questions that I’ve seen floating about the last few days. If anyone would like to take a stab at answering them in the comments, I’ll edit the post and add them here.
- What is Lemmy?
- How does Lemmy compare to Reddit?
- What does federated mean?
- Does it matter what instance I make an account on and what are the implications?
- Can I transfer my account to another instance in the future?
- If my instance shuts down, what happens to my posts, comments, messages, history, etc?
- How does moderation work?
- Are bots allowed?
- Are there Android and iOS apps?
…
What else?
