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.

I appreciate your answer to my question, but not your aggressive tone. Before yesterday I had never even heard of a federated service, I'm just trying to understand how things work to make the best decision on a "home base".

I wasn't trying to be disingenuous, but just head off attacks from the insecure who might mistake my intentions. Thanks again for the in-depth answer.

It would be better if you didn't treat the Lemmy community like it was reddit; or you're always going to get the same redditor snark you always have.
