I see, so this whole model I’ve written isn’t compatible with how Lemmy works because admins are instance-based rather than community-based, so admins don’t have the power to take action against users breaking the rules if they belong in another instance, which makes necessary blocking interactions with the whole instance the user comes from. (I hope it’s correct)

I’m new to the Fediverse and Lemmy and I don’t understand things very well, and also this comment will probably get lost in the discussion, but;

Would it be technically possible to design Lemmy in a way that it doesn’t require the user to choose its own instance, but it automatically chooses one? For example, let’s say that we could take all Lemmy instances and “join” them together as a net. Now each new user will have a centralized place to register, which is join-lemmy, and an instance will be automatically chosen based on availability.

For the content maybe a similar approach could be used. New communities could be created on the instance of the “net” that has the most available space/resources, then as the community grows in size it could be swapped between instances, again based on space/resources.

To protect the content from being lost, each community could be duplicated accross 2/3 instances.

I’ll say it again, I’m talking as someone with no technical knowledge of how the Fediverse works, but I hope that more knowledgeable users could add to the discussion and say if this approach (or part of it) is possible or if it’s all wrong.

Thank you for the link! I meant projects like Lemmy and Mastodon

Thank you for the list! I thought that the website I linked was the official Fediverse website since it was the first result that showed in the search results, but looks like it’s not the case.

Oh I see, I thought it was the official Fediverse website since it was the first showed in the search results.

I’m a bit confused, I thought Lemmy is different from Mastodon as they are on 2 different internet domains and it has a different interface and website…

Thank you! I find the Fediverse to be really interesting, but I’m still learning how to navigate it. So far everywhere I looked I’m only seeing Mastodon, I wonder how to find other instances that are not Mastodon related, do you have any tips?

I found the official Reddit app to be pretty good, but it has a big problem: it’s full of trackers, also needs access to way too many stuff on my phone.
