Mastodon was such a freeing experience I wanted to have the "Federated social media alternative" for other sites too.

Beehaw only defederated from Lemmy.world because of the currently limited moderation tools in the software. This is not going to be a problem forever.
I hope people can find communities both on large instances (Beehaw, Lemmy.world) as well on as very small niche instances. Discoverability is a bit a problem but I think over time we will find communities we like, and participate in them. What instance they are hosted on is not all that important.
It's hard to think of a favorite, but I would consider Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2. Partly because there's still no modern game which has executed this style of game design as well as these original two games.
No, they understand and they care... They want the poor to be trapped by debt and struggling starting at a young age.
Huh. Guess I won't be using Uber's apps then. Anytime I'm a paying customer I do not want to see ads shoved in my face. Good thing there's competition.
Behind me, I heard the same man asking:
“For God’s sake, where is God?”
And from within me, I heard a voice answer:
“Where is He? This is where – hanging here from this gallows…”
At least 1 person on your instance needs to subscribe to a remote community for your instance to receive all (future!) posts/comments from that community.
As someone running my own single-user Lemmy instance for a few different reasons and enjoying interacting with Beehaw (and agreeing with your community ethos!) I really think federation is great. Individual forums have a high barriers of entry. Having to check multiple pages, create accounts, learn the UX, etc. Here I can access so many great communities from one place.
Hopefully with the current surge in popularity the Lemmy project will get more developers to help out and features like powerful mod tools will allow Beehaw to better handle users of external instances. Mastodon admins seem to be able to handle Federation more easily, presumably thanks to the tooling.
It must be a problem with mod tooling. Mastodon federation works essentially the same way as Lemmy and small teams of admins seem to be able to keep instances with 10,000s of users under control.
Mastodon really has top tier moderation and federation controls. Unfortunately Lemmy was very niche before the recent surge in users, so the project never got the attention it needed to get these tools ready for the current surge in activity.
They're trying to find the middle ground. More 0% rates would destroy the economy with inflation, but 20% rates would destroy the economy with corporate slowdowns and great-depression scale unemployment. Inflation is high but trending down so they think the current policy is working.
You're right of course, but there's tons of individual features which can be worked on in relative isolation. The devs need help with moderation tools, performance, frontend, etc. With 200+ open issues I'm sure more developers making proactive pull requests can make a difference.
