That's like saying everyone that lives on 123 Main St is the same regardless of the city or everyone with the email "Bob" is the same regardless of what their email provider is.
Lemmy has nothing to do with email. I'm sick and tired of this incorrect analogy being used to explain how Lemmy works and people stubbornly not understanding why it's broken because of it.
If you think it through, what you're asking is that the communities will exist only on one server. That's Reddit with extra steps.
Goober, I am literally not asking that and yes this is very similar to email. My home instance is programming.dev. We are both still talking. I did not have to make an account on lemmy.ml to respond to you here. I did not even have to go to lemmy.ml to see or respond to this post. This community does not "exist only on one server" by any means.
Yes because we're in a server default subscription. A server decided list of viable communities, probably a list shared across the fediverse. Again a gayekeeping system by the system elites
We are in the !fediverse! community, only big one that exists.
It's double centralization. This is recreating Reddit.
You're moving the goal posts, you're talking about default subscriptions being a problem now. That's totally different. And besides, it wasn't on my server and yet I found this.
