What does your 'home' instance really matter?
One thing I'm not clear about is the impact my home instance has on me. I joined lemmy.world and am currently using the connect for lemmy app. I know when I sort by Local it will only show me posts from lemmy.world, but beyond that are there any things to keep in mind?
I have read that lemmy.world has been hit by DDoS attacks but I've never had any problem using connect for Lemmy during those times as far as I know.

why were they taken down?
Not entirely sure but it was a piracy focused instance so best guess is they recieved a takedown request.
Achso ok. That sucks.
Looks like I was wrong and it appears that Mali has been recaliming the .ml domain that they were using, so hopefully they'll be back. According to the post they have backups etc. so once they sort out a new domain they may be back. Fingers crossed.
Alright, makes sense. Thanks
