I did not realize that lemmy.world is but a single instance - it's all starting to come together in my head :-)
The FAQ linked earlier in the thread suggested making an account on lemmy.world, that same thing was what I meant in my post as well. And I see the comments about it being beneficial to "stress test" the Lemmy backend, so... should I edit my original post?
One advantage lemmy.world has which led to many people recommending it early on is that Ruud is an experienced Fediverse admin (here is a summary of all his servers: https://lemmy.world/post/6441). This meant it was easy to suggest to early Reddit refugees since he's proven competent and reliable so it soothed fears of instances having poor uptime or getting abandoned and helped ease the transition.

I joined lemmy.world and have been really enjoying it. Still have a lot to learn, but it looks and feels like the old days of what Reddit used to be.
My main beef is with the FAQ, not your comment which just repeats what the FAQ says. But I'm concerned that bad advice from documents like that will spread through word of mouth, and become pervasive in a way that becomes difficult to retract later.
I see now, thanks! Note: If that's the case, we need an updated FAQ later down the line, when Ruud says Lemmy.world will have been properly stress-tested :-)
