How lemmy.world becoming centralized ?

Lots of defederations, and like two thirds of the total users are there…

Currently, they have 13k monthly active users while Lemmy has 37, so not too bad

Yes. I personally think the biggest instance should have at most a quarter of user base. They have a lot of authority in Lemmy now and can rule out other players very easily unfortunately.

Seems reasonable. Currently, they have 13k monthly users while Lemmy has 37, so not too bad

The UI for different Lemmy instances sadly is ass. Such a bother to navigate this space, also with the constant federating and federating …

Most lemmy instances have the same UI and most people use apps for lemmy…

Also you don’t have to worry about federation, thats for your instance admin (Wintermute) to worry about. If you want to be federated with basically everything Shitjustworks is your choice

I do have to worry about federation of my instance mods decide to have a feud with another instance where I subscribe to subs. Also the UI is wonky for linking to different instances, like I’m never logged in when clicking on a link to a different instance. It’s just very crude right now. Plus discovery is kind of a pain, topics get spread over different instances…
