    Sorry I am new to lemmy and fediverse concept.

    How is it different from an app like Connect?

      This synchronizes subscribed communities between instances if you have accounts on more than one instance. Connect is for browsing and posting.

        I dont get it because I have accounts on several instances. I can add them into Connect and it seems I can see post from all my instances.

          In case you’re still wondering. This app can take all your subscriptions from lemm.ee and copy them to another instance. When you switch to that instance and go to your subscribed everything should be on the second instance.

          This way you don’t have to subscribe manually on multiple instances. I believe blocks will be added as well.

            ok ! Thank you!

            And yes I still had no clue.

            But, I still don’t understand something so I will take my exemple.

            1. I created my first account on Lemmy world.
            2. Because they decided to censor piracy they weren’t anymore in line with my philosophy (I’m not pro piracy, I’m against arbitrary censorship)
            3. So I created a second account on Lemm.ee after learning about their principles.
            4. From there I resubscribed to my subs and I never feel the need to go back to Lemmy world.

            My conclusion is there’s probably something I still don’t understand about the fediverse.

            If you find the least censored instance, why would you create account on other or multiples instances?

            What do I risk missing by staying on an instance without ever switching?

            Please send help lol

            Ps : Sorry for my bad English

              This app would have done step 4 without you having to do it yourself.

              As for why to switch instances. It’s a matter of preference. The example you gave is a good reason. Obviously if your instance closes you would have to move so it’s nice to have a backup just in case
