As far as I can tell this is just an article where someone’s theorizes Musk’s plan?

This will take care of the other commenters point about having to manually subscribe to everything. I just had it pull the top 500 communities from the top two instances and I’m fine…

Man how many people even know what this is lol

The problem is you lose the ability to encounter new communities by browsing “All”. And since I’m the only user on my instance I will never discover any communities that I don’t manually add or find on third-party websites not to mention that process of using those websites is cumbersome and tedious…

I added the top few thousand communities and the server runs absolutely fine. :)

These are the comments that make Lemmy great.

Voat was a replica of Reddit in design. One centralized server. We would have ended up in the same crappy place even if that were a success because at some point they would have wanted to monetize it also.

You have to do some reading and learn about the technology behind Lemmy and federation to understand.
