Sure, its a bit wordy... lacking in images with step by step instructions. If I had time I'd put something together with screenshots and figure out git and submit a pull request... maybe eventually.

Currently you have to start over.
The icon on the left is "context", on your home instance. On the right is the "fediverse" link, which takes you to the home instance of the poster.
Basically the same thing, one is local the other remote.
At least that is how I've come to understand them.
..that would defeat almost the entire point of being federated and decentralized.
Surprisingly... its better than I had hoped for. I'm ~6-8 hours in, level 23 or so... and its been great.
Yeah sounds like an issue on your instance... not sure exactly what. I'm on my own instance, see multiple comments here from @jonah@lemmy.one and yourself.
Not sure I'd say "careful"... more of "don't get too comfortable". As the dust clears I'd expect some/many of the new instances to shutdown. Likely due to hitting server resource limits, or admin motivation limits :)
Is there a newbie guide written up already somewhere? This is exactly the sort of things it needs, which should be linked to new signups.
A couple of hours maybe. I'm pretty familiar with the tech, if you aren't it will take longer.
Worth noting, the current docker-compose referenced on the Lemmy site is non-functional. I couldn't be bothered fixing the supplied nginx setup, so just ran with the ansible playbook instead.
If you introduce people to Lemmy, direct them to smaller instances to sign up on.
I spun up a lemmy instance for my friends and I. Great success so far :)
As others have said, Jerboa is for android... I've heard mention of "mlem" for IOS, but have not seen it myself.
