I appreciate the decentralized architecture and the privacy that comes with it, but it’s organization isn’t great.

I’m not sure if I understand why certain instances can choose not to federate with other instances. It just seems to limit the content that is accessible to me. I don’t want to have to switch between 4-5 Lemmy accounts that I switch just to curate what I to see. Its impractical.

I’m not happy with the changes on reddit and will most likely ditch entirely soon. Lately I’ve only been using it for tutorials. But at least I wasn’t closed off from viewing anything and everything I wanted without sifting through instances. I hope great things come for Lemmy, competitors are great, but in its current state it just seems doomed.

    Lemmygrad seems to be a bit of a target of defederation by many instances, and there’s probably some history there that I’m not aware

    a number of Lemmygrad users conducted a “special military operation to denazify” lemmyml, beehaw, sopuli and the Lemmyverse. Some of the history is here https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore. They are credited with putting down wolfballs, an actual alt-right instance to their credit. Some of the conflict very loosely spread to github.

    Some senior lemmygrad members have a long history of hostility with PrivacyGuides, see the post here and iirc some on !fediverselore@lemmy.ca

      I found it in your link, thanks. Jesus. I think lemmygrad deserves a medal for that if this post is representative of that community.
