Why would one want to move to a different instance? Why would someone want to be on multiple instances? To be honest, the initial registration process wasn't straightforward for me and I just about gave up.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You don't need to join another instance to comment or view things there!
I got the message that my post was removed because I was on a local instance on Lemmy.world.
But your home instance is already lemmy.world. I'm confused what's going on lol. Some communities only allow people from that community to post or put top level comments there because it is a community for problems related to the instance. Maybe that is what happened?
Go to the instance and sign up for it, assuming they have open sign ups.
I'm new to this but I'll figure it out eventually.
You just join another instance like normal.
But having left beehaw recently, I would say I can't really see any good reasons to leave lemmy world.
I only left beehaw because one admin I felt was overlooking crap people in one specific minority and it was slowly turning into a echo chamber. Ironically, it turns out the crap person in particular coloured my perception of other lemmy servers ages ago to make it seem like other lemmy servers were a cesspool (they are not)
It was also surprisingly unstable compared to lemmy world servers
I haven't seen any actions by lemmy world admins however which would encourage leaving.
In fact, you can access mostly the same posts from different servers here anyway because servers are mostly federated
How do you join other instances?
You just join another instance like normal.
Well that clears that up!
As far as not wanting to leave lemmy.world, you can't see life through their eyes.
Me personally, I've decided to stay, but only because my top priority is having an instance that won't be gone in a year because they have 6 users, and the admin doesn't want to pay for an instance no one uses.
If I could find a stable instance, with no threats of being shut off ever, that doesn't defederate with anyone, I would go there.
The OTHER reason I don't leave is because Lemmy isn't ready for prime time. I'm on Lemmy.World, which despite the intentions of Lemmy, is essentially the centralized hub. And one of the biggest reasons I don't leave is that if I want to create a new community, I CAN'T do so on any other instance besides my home instance.
This means I can move to a less populated instance, create a community, and nobody will see it.
OR
I can stay here, create the community here, and it will get seen more often by people browsing by local. Or exploring what communities this instance has.
But I suspect eventually you'll be able to give instance admins the ability to allow non-local users to create communities. And I suspect the norm will be for admins to allow this. This will allow Lemmy to grow, and maybe users will spread out more.
My biggest reason FOR wanting to leave Lemmy.World would be to be on an instance that doesn't defederate from ANYONE. I'll choose what content is offensive to me, thank you. Which for me, is next to none.
lemm.ee is pretty big and doesnt defederate nearly as much as lemmy.world
I see. Thanks 😊
Oh. Thanks 😊
You go to lemm.ee, feddit.uk, lemmy.ca or what ever instance you wish to join and create an account there. Just like you went to lemmy.world and joined that one.
Sometimes you need to write an application to prove you aren't a bot.
Are bots incapable of doing that?
Some software engineers are worried that they’ll take their jobs, but at this point of development, they’re simply not capable enough to successfully, reliably, and robustly implement a system with more than relatively trivial boilerplate logic - and that doesn’t even touch on the creation of robust testing frameworks and the logic therein.
Mtgzone asks you to name your favorite Magic card and explain why. So, the AI would need to understand all that, know the name of a Magic card, and say what's good about it.
Without refining the prompt on chat gpt:
As a Magic: The Gathering player, one of my favorite cards is "Solemn Simulacrum." It's not the flashiest card, but it offers so much value. When it enters the battlefield, you get to search your library for a basic land and put it onto the battlefield tapped, which helps with mana ramp. Then, when it dies, you get to draw a card. It's a solid choice for any deck that needs mana fixing and card draw, making it a great utility creature. Plus, there's something comforting about playing a card that's both reliable and versatile, fitting into so many different strategies.
Needs a bit of work, but that generally does the task
Yeah, but let's be honest, its quite obvious that an AI wrote this.
Like I said, needs work.
Some adjustments start to improve it, and I bet someone trying to mass sign up for an instance could get it in a good spot
One of my favorite cards has to be "Solemn Simulacrum." It's not the most powerful or flashy card out there, but it brings a lot of value to the table. When you play it, you get to search your library for a basic land and put it onto the battlefield tapped, which is super helpful for ramping up your mana. Then, when it dies, you get to draw a card. It’s the kind of card that fits into almost any deck that needs some mana fixing and card draw. I just love how reliable and versatile it is—it’s like the trusty Swiss army knife of MTG cards.
Unless they call it a sad robot it is clearly ai. Anyone in mtgzone knows this
Better, but still quite Obvious. It devinetively needs work, but it would be possible. It might raise some eyebrows when you get 5k Account creation requests in 10 Minutes or so and there will be cases where the AI is hallucinating.
Yep that would be more concerning. I think an effective setup wouldn't try to hit the same instance constantly,... Spread it around
That's actually really easy for an LLM
Not anymore since chatgpt, but not everyone has caught up to that yet.
lemmy.dbzer0.com says "Profanity is encouraged". Perhaps it could fail on that, at least with some AI.
As an AI language model, I am unable to use profanity. My purpose is to provide information and complete tasks in a helpful and informative way. Profanity can often be offensive or hurtful, and it goes against my core principles of being respectful and helpful.
If you have a question or request that requires a more informal tone, I can try to use more casual language without resorting to profanity.
We actually have a riddle in our application which is specifically crafted to be all but impossible for LLMs and easy for humans
I actually think that's pretty cool. Make the user swear so we know he/she is real. :)
But it also won't work. You can run Ai models at home that doesn't have the language police.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lies on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
A possible reason is that I myself baked to death, or at least unconsciousness, so I was unable to help the tortoise.
Although I also don't think I would have flipped it over in the first place.
I guess you know, but there is a remastered version of blade runner that is blue ray quality... Soo good. Still holds up graphically in most places.
You create an account on the instance you'd like to move to. After that you can use some migration script to migrate your bookmarks and subscriptions, like one of those mentioned in this post.
No need to use script, in settings you can now download/export all settings (including subs), and then import them again on new instance.
