I'm still trying to get used to Lemmy; the main thing confusing me is the federated bit.

I just want to access Lemmy and its content; how do I do that? Currently I'm just going to old.lemmy.world and using that as a starting point.

Is there another instance you would recommend as the default one?

The two main reasons I ask are:

I want to know if there are things I am simply missing out on and there's a better way to browse Lemmy.
I really don't like cloudflare and have it disabled in Javascript. I don't want to leave it enabled for lemmy.world.

Two things, you were right; my misunderstanding was due to my failure to have an intuitive understanding of defederation.

What happened was that I signed on in lemmy.world to make a post on lemmy.cafe (through lemmy.world).

My second question: I tried all weekend to access old.slrpnk.net

But the site was either really really slow (like a page would pop up after a minute or two) or would just result in an error.

Is this a problem on my end? Or is something going on that should be sorted out soonish?

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Yeah, there is some issue on our end, but sadly it isn't clear what might be causing it.
