Does Lemmy have the ability to replace default links?

Basically, replace signup link with one that redirects to a page that gives a very simple as possible explanation what’s going on, what fediverse is and gives s list of other instances to try.

Reinforce “All are viable and can browse lemmy.world subs”… Or communities or whatever term we use here for lemmy equivalent of subreddits.

Please read: a personal appeal.

Problem is that such isn’t a stable source of income.

Though I guess Wikipedia makes it work. So I dunno.

Wound up just making a lemm.ee account.

Let’s see if this is noticably more stable.

I’m dumb about this whole fediverse thing. Do I need to make an account on the lemm.ee instance to enjoy that sweet stability?

Or can I just “swap to a new instance” and keep my incredibly tiny comment history?

Using lemmy.world and constantly getting gateway errors.

One of those bags to keep your phone dry?

Mmm, I get the ideological stance, but servers do cost money.

I suppose donations are an option but can’t imagine that being a stable source.

I’m a bit iffy on the idea, but not strictly opposed to it. How would scammers, returns, payment issues, etc be handled without a strong central authority?

Seems like a smaller, weaker local administration might not be able to handle such.

Legitimate curiosity on my end. I’m open to interpretation and suggestions.

I’m new to this federalized system in terms of social networks. It’s been interesting so far.
