Is there a way to add servers on the same app? Like if you use Lemmy. Zip , could you add other instances/servers and switch between them just as easy as you do communities? If this feature exists could someone explain how to me?
If not, this needs to be a thing. Add to that pixelfed, piefed and mastodon posts…
If it’s all decentralized, what would prevent us from having it all in one single app. With maybe siloing of the different servers, so the serverwide rules are still inforceable.
But essentially, the all feed would really be all.
I was under the impression that i could see any and all post/community provided it doesn’t violate the rules of the server I’m on. I’m figuring out this isn’t quite the case…
Yet i get the feeling there’s a lot I’m potentially missing. I keep seeing dead links, seemingly abandoned posts/communities with little to no activity…
I just don’t know for sure. Also how do people figure out which server to join? How do you know for example of a certain community you’re interested in is present in server A or b?
Maybe this is a really stupid question, and the answer is so obvious its self-explanatory. But i have to admit I’m lost
The thing is, Fediverse isn't actually decentralized, and that's worth clarifying. Rather, it's REcentralized around instances.
It would have been nice if the engineering behind it all actually did center on users, but they went a different direction, centering on instances instead.
Bluesky's ATProtocol did decentralization better, but it dropped the ball in different areas, unfortunately.
