Do you think institutional buildings of the Union should be concentrated in a single city or distributed among many? (lemmy.ml)
 

Currently, the Parliament and the Ombudsman meet in Strasbourg (France) and frequently also in Brussels (Belgium).

Both Councils and the Commision meet in Brussels and ocassionally in Luxembourg (Luxembourg).

Both Courts and the Investment Bank are in Luxembourg, but the Central Bank is in Frankfurt (Germany).

Both Committees and the Defense agency meet exclusively in Brussels.

The Translation center is in Luxembourg.

Europol headquarters are in The Hague (the Netherlands), Frontex's are in Warsaw (Poland) and the EUSPA's are in Prague (Czechia).

Other institutions and bodies have offices in all other countries save for Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus

Do you think this is a strenght? Should power be distributed equally among members? Should it be avoided that one member houses all three branches of government? Should seats be moved on an annual or biannual basis, like other institutions do?

It's just another instance, but one that supports microblogging and some slightly different features. The fediverse is made out of instances.

Instances mainly affect where your data is physically stored (every instance has their own server) and what content moderators of your instance have decided to block (for example, they could decide to block content from a neo-nazi instance). You would still have access to all content from pretty much all other instances.

Other examples of Lemmy instances are beehaw.org, lemmy.blahaj.zone, lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, etc. You have a more exhaustive list at https://join-lemmy.org/instances

Most big instances in Mastodon gave agreed to giving 3-month notice in case they shut down to give time for people who don't wish to go down with the ship to migrate their accounts to other instances. I can imagine it being the same in Lemmy, adding possible community migration
