Day 2 here, and I can see the growth already. Personally I really like the notion of how its gonna shape up in the future but at the same time I really feel for the average user as of now its too complex to understand the working and how the cross servers thing is working. I mean yes still early days, UI will improve further leading to a better UX but the core mechanism yet is little tough to get along. For instance, still unclear if I made the right choice by signing up on lemmydotworld why not lemmydotml , beehaw etc… and where does this stop? like in the coming times i it would be like a thousands of servers lemmy.this lemmy.that lemmy.etc or anything.anything. That’s soo confusing for someone who just wanna join a server. Would be interesting to see how “signup anywhere, its the same thing” evolves.

    If I’m not mistaken both Beehaw and Lemmy.world are pretty big mainstream instances.

    Why has Beehaw decided to stop federating with lemmy.world?

      The stated reason is that there’s too many bad actors coming from here, so it’s too hard to moderate:

      Hopefully (as they state in their post), federation will resume once things settle into a new norm.

      Or I forsee beehaw losing relevance as it continues to pursue an isolationist policy.

        Thank you!

        A scary thing about the Fediverse right now is that some instances have many of the bigger communities. And the owners of the instance can literally shut it down at any moment (or stop federating with you).

        And right now there isn’t an incentive to keep instances alive.

          I like how matrix handles the rooms, you can have aliases on other servers for the same room. This would be also nice for communities. So once there is a server split you at least keep the old content on the other servers simmilar to when one matrix server goes away everyone can still be in the room which is an alias for it.
