This is why Squabbles and Tildes will probably do well in the end. They are much more strict on allowing people in at the start, MUCH easier entry and just simpler to understand overall.

Spez also completely contradicts what the macrumors link is referring to: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/reddit-says-it-won-t-overrule-mods-and-force-subreddits-back-open/ar-AA1cBvUP
Then they aren’t federated and likely won’t see posts, right? If instance A defederates from Instance B, no matter what instance B does, they don’t talk.
You’re correct. It’s now back to federation again.
That’s because I’m pretty sure Federation is currently turned off for this website. The Fediverse is confusing enough for folks but even worse when the owner of this instance has turned it off without some large stickied announcement.
I believe this is currently functioning as just a standalone website. At least it was a couple days ago. I don’t know if he’s fixed it yet.
But a total of 125k across the fediverse, a lot of which who will leave after getting fed up with the bugs, is hardly Reddit dying. Unfortunately.
It’s going to be hard to get people on board with the fediverse. It’s just not as user friendly. It’ll be a cool niche but it’ll never be a Reddit-size product. Which, maybe that’s totally fine. Maybe we get better conversations here due to that.
I'm on kbin and I have to say I like what they are doing better than Lemmy as far as ease of use and UI. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
