Lemmy is CEO-proof. After Digg, Reddit and Twitter, that term should be a thing in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

That's a good question that I'm unqualified to answer but I'm sure that !selfhosting@slrpnk.net is a good resource for this.

That's disappointing

The overwhelming amount of content is distributed among lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and beehaw.org - whether these instances like it or not.

Is the expectation that every popular instance has its communities for general-purpose stuff?

Do we need a technology@beehaw.org, technology@lemmy.world, technology@lemmy.tf, etc? That fragmentation seems like a nightmare for the average user and for adoption in general.

Beehaw* defederated us? in c/main@sh.itjust.works

The part where things get tricky is that beehaw currently has ~15 of the top 50 communities across the entire fediverse and has become the defacto discussion grounds for gaming/tech/news/etc.

One could argue this goes against the whole concept of decentralized communication in the first place, and this may be a position beehaw doesn’t want to be in.

Beehaw has every right to foster a tight-knit community that adheres to its desires.

But there also is a level of responsibility and custodianship over these large communities they foster for the betterment and adoption of the fediverse.

I don't think they care? As long as they can pump the communities with ads so they can IPO.

I disagree I think it hurts overall adoption and the classic XKCD comic comes to mind: https://xkcd.com/927/

I respect your opinion, though.

Beehaw is a lemmy instance, which is the equivalent of a reddit.

There are different communities on this instance which is the equivalent of a subreddit.

You are on a different lemmy instance, kbin.social. Which has its own communities and users there.

The cool thing about this setup is that you can mostly interact with any community on any occasion.

You're currently interacting with !support@beehaw.org from kbin.social

Hopefully that makes sense.
