Hi all,

I am pretty new to lemmy and was wondering if it makes a difference where I register my account. On lemmy.ml the name „Green“ (this account) was available and on Lemmy.world „Green“ is not available anymore.

As far I understand Lemmy, it doesn’t matter, but I would be happy if someone could confirm or explain it to me. Kind regards.

No, it doesn't matter. In fact the username itself doesn't matter because you can set whatever display name you want anyway.

But basically it's like email addresses: green@example.com and green@example.net are two different addresses on two different servers and they talk to eachother just fine.

Oh great. Thank you very much!
