I looked up a list of Lemmy World instances and signed up for a bunch, but how do I see everything at once in one app instead of downloading one for each instance? I am new to what the kids call “federation.” Thank you.
If there’s content at beehaw that a user wants to subscribe to and comment on, then it’s more than just beehaw’s problem, it’s also makes it the user’s problem…and that means creating and maintaining logins on multiple servers.
But that’s no different than the current internet. Like I said, it’s beehaw’s problem. If they want to strictly enforce native users on their instance and have their stricter account creation process to join their community, then that’s no different than the current internet.
Not really. If the admins of that instance don’t want to federated, that’s their prerogative. They’ll gain or lose users based on that decision. The beauty of the fediverse is that it’s all on a voluntary basis. If beehaw decides to federate with a small cluster of other instances, then they’ll have their own niche just like the current internet.
