The scariest thing on Lemmy

I only saw this once, googled the answer, and never saw it again

I guess I typed in a server URL and it took care of it?

I really wish I could have found a local server and all. Instead I think I just somehow mapped to a popular one.

Also, this is a web client. Is my computer pulling from the 2nd server somehow?

I saw something similar and had a similar reaction @midi002@lemmy.world

Not sure if I understand it perfectly, but it looks like lemmy.world is the server that this diggdiaspora is hosted on, and that server can choose what other nodes it wants to connect to (can federate or defederate). The admins of the lemmy.world server have ultimate control over the data. It looks like lemmy.world is one of the largest and most stable.
