This is a big problem. It creates the illusion that /c/cats on one particular instance is the real /c/cats.

This is the root of re-centralization and it must be pulled out.

    I think what they mean by /c/ federation is combining the communities, so that c/technology would combine lemmy.world/c/technology and kbin.social/m/technology and lemmy.ml/c/technology, but I’m not 100% sure.

      If that is indeed what the other poster meant, then it’s even worse - it’s missing the point of federation, that is “let’s not centralise our discussions within a single place, as this gives too much power to the people who control that place”.

        Sure, I agree with you :) I just wanted to clear up what I saw as a misunderstanding, not argue against your point :)

          Then my first interpretation was correct. TL;DR: yes, it is an issue, “we” (Lemmyverse users) should be spreading out more.

      Yes, I want it all in one place. Preferably in my own, self hosted, single user Lemmy instance. Zero external filtering with my consent, sorting algorithm fully under my control. I will apply my own filters, spamblock, Adblock and moderation subscriptions as I see fit.
