No. It has nothing to do with the software. Your instance is the problem. I guess this is your chance to switch to another instance.

IPFS? I assure you, no individual here can afford to host even one single copy of the whole Internet Archive

Whatever your goal is, there most likely is no such instance that satisfies your definition of “freedom of speech”. You should run your own instance where you have full control. Since most instances wouldn’t federate with such an instance, a relatively cheap VPS will do. Even some old computer you may have lying around.

The repo is just full of configuration files and no actual working code. The backend code does not exist. The guy in mastodon thinks that dan forgot to upload his code to the github repo.

iOS second? What a joke.

You will occassionally see some people from other platforms, like mastodon, commenting or posting here. But Lemmy isn’t the most compatible one, so you probably won’t see microblogs and such. If you want to see microblogs as well, use mbin (kbin fork). It is a mix of Lemmy and Mastodon. You can micro blog and comment on magazines (communities in the mbin/kbin platform) that way.

I especially am thinking of self hosting mbin because I do want to see some microblogs from some users.

Also I welcome you to Lemmy and the Fediverse. Good thing you didn’t choose lemmy.world or lemmy.ml

I wonder if Bluesky will also be like that someday.

seriously? that’s a bad decision.
