Lemmy

Sorry, I edited my comment in the meantime. (Fixing broken grammar, linking the archives, stuff like this.) That said:

Then Lemmy is going to just beat repeat of voat

Not really. Even in worst case scenario (everyone migrates to a single instance), lemmy.ml is considerably wider in scope and userbase than the socially rejected in Voat.

And, while I do agree with you that there is a communication problem, and that it needs to be addressed, it is far from the worst case scenario. For example I consistently see here people from beehaw, lemmy.world, fedddit.de, and other instances.

Why is /c/ federation disabled by default.

Federation happens between instances, not between communities. You can access any community from a federated instance.

If federation is disabled by default (is it?), I think that this might have to do with spam and bot prevention. I'm not sure however.

Now, off-topic:

While I get that spending time in Reddit made us people behave less like decent human beings and more like dumbarses/redditors/morons, even then I think that we should watch out to not behave as such outside Reddit. Let its stupidity culture die with it.

From your comment, three things caught my attention:

• assuming that things that you don't understand "make no sense".
• lack of insight - why are you giving views to that shithole?
• decontextualisation - ipsis ungulis "Then read it locally with libreddit", letting the reader to guess what you're referring to. (I got it, but someone else 2m later won't).

Please, don't.
