Who cares? Isn't the point of it being federated that you can join whatever instance and have the same experience (ignoring of course whatever that particular instance is doing for modrration)
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"
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.
The hell are you talking about, you are I are from different instances both talking to each other on a third instance lol.
I think he's talking about similar communities from different instances. Like "books" on lemmy.world is separate from "books" on lemmy.ml. So people will end up migrating to the larger one for more users to share with. I feel like it's not a big deal since I can subscribe to all of them while being on a single instance.
I know you agreed with me so don't take it as arguing, but I don't get this logic. If someone made "books" there's nothing stopping people from making "readingbooks" with the exact same rules and content guidelines. The problem doesn't go away.
I miss usenet.
