I recommend lift off but it doesn’t have gesture controls.

That makes sense. Hopefully they’ll add migration soon.

Mine is running on a low performance VM on my MiniPC under my bed lol. I’ve had absolutely no lag or errors. No problems at all very smooth.

But you can still view and interact with all content on any federated instance so why would you need another account?

What do you mean? Why would you need to migrate your account?

Yes. I recommend you look here.

If you’re from Lemmy.World and post in a Beehaw.org community then Lemmy.World users will still see your post. But no other instance will. This is because all other instances look to Beehaw to get Beehaw posts. And without Beehaw federation your post never makes it to Beehaw and therefore it never reaches/gets relayed to other instances.
