    You said that as a lemmy.ml user in reply to a user from another instance, and I’m replying to you from yet a third. It doesn’t seem to be restricting any of us to our own instance

    Is the “problem” you’re talking about that any instance may have it’s own community by the same name as another instance’s? That’s not a bug.

    That lets anyone say “I don’t like that community for this thing I like, I shall set up my own on this other instance”

      “I don’t like this community, I shall”… Go to an empty space talk to myself and maybe one other guy in 3 years

      Look Lemmy communities have the same critical mass effect as Reddit does. For each community, there’s going to always end up with one big one, and then a bunch of tiny irrelevant ones.

      It will take a reddit-sized screw up just to get maybe 1/3 of any particular critical mass community to try and scatter into the lemmyverse.

      In every way that matters, Lemmy is as centralized as Reddit.

        Do you hear yourself? You sound like those people who say “blockchain” solves every problem. If you don’t like a community then “federation” is not some magical solution to it.
