User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn’t mean your account exists on lemmy.ca.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

Communities are fragmented and /c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml with its own users, set of posts, etc.

Lemmy does not currently allow for instance or user migration.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3057

Nor does it allow for shared communities (ie the aforementioned /c/games is unified across multiple instances)

We are in the early days. If you’re eager feel free to join in the development on these any many other core issues. There’s real potential here.

    Is this an app-specific issue? I’m using wefwef on iOS and it shows “[email protected]” as the community. It doesn’t show it for the user, though, which is another worthwhile piece of information.

      I’m on Jerboa and it does indicate as you quoted. I don’t know why the guy said that way. Maybe lemmy.world is his home instance.

        I think that’s it! I just checked and local communities don’t show the instance on my end either.
