I am new and trying to understand how Lemmy works. I am posting this from my lemmy.world account, on a lemmy.ml community. It seems like you can read, post, subscribe to whatever community outside of the instance you're registered with. So... Why register on lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml or any other instance, if all communities are accessible to everyone?

not true :)
any EU citizen signing up on your server is still protected by GDPR.

this is why many US based sites decided to just not bother and cut off EU visitors to their sites (I mainly run into this with news sites)

Hmm interesting. I guess this should go on the dev's todo list, if its not already there.
