    Think of it like email providers. You can go with Gmail, Outlook, Proton(mail), or even host your own server, but you can email anyone no matter which provider they’re on, because they all follow the same standard.

      Do you know how the communities work? So if a community is created on a server it only exists there, right? So if a server decides to shut down the whole community goes down with it? That would kinda suck and then it actually makes sense to only join one server and support it instead to make its survival more likely

        I believed peered servers cache the content of their peers. So if the origin server goes dark, existing content can still be viewed while it’s still in cache

        I’m not sure if this feature exists, but community replication could be useful for resilience.

      Yeah that bit makes sense. It is just trying to figure out how I access content using my account without relying on trending all. I haven’t had much luck with the category searching on all yet.
