I don't understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.
And are usernames unique across instances or can anyone copy anyone else's username by signing up somewhere else with the same name or just making a new instance?
Usernames are only unique within servers, just like with email addresses. there's only one john@gmail.com but john@yahoo.com is a different person
Yes! I have the same exact question.
