Context

The main arguments for people to defederate are

  • "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" strategy: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
  • A potential federation with Threads (should Thread decide to implement it) would overwhelm Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed with millions of users (compared to the 40k monthly current active users), transforming those platforms into a threaded version of Facebook
  • Defederating preventively costs nothing

Different websites show the same content.

https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected] shows the community we are in from another instance, Lemm.ee.

There is no "main page", different instances host different communities and users, but everything is still connected by default (sometimes instance disagree and prefer to block each other)
