Having used Xplore when I lived in an unserviced rural area, the service is extremely shotty.

This is the right decision non the less.

Are there any anonymous coins that have better security than Monero? in c/monero@monero.town

[–] WilfordGrimley@linux.community 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Monero is king.

Monero bridged to Ergo and mixed with the ergo mixer could be great one day. As it would give Monero access to DeFi if enough people use the mixer this way.

At the moment there is slim pickings for other communities to join if this instance is chosen by a user to be their home server.

Presumably other instances have to approve linux.community federating with them before their subs can show up? Is it that this instance is new, or is there some other reason. u/nkukard can you chime in?

EDIT: A-ha! I was searching poorly! Once a member of a instance subscribes, it pulls it into that instance for easier discovery. Neat!
