This is not the win that you think it is…
Right? I’m still trying to figure it all out but I don’t get what the benefit would be to having a username on a big instance. Seems like bragging rights would go to people who have their own instance.
But also the op didn’t say it was a win… they just stated the fact. So there’s that.
the only benefit i see is having more communties already federated without the need to manually federate it yourself
That is actually a bigger benefit than just some mild UI inconvenience. It saves resources on both your instance (well, there just per user resources) and the instance where the community is hosted.
We really really need to stop emphasizing growth of individual instances.
It entirely defeats the point of federation.
That’s interesting. I picked up memebership in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world (same username) after trying Beehaw and finding that I was met with an endless circle of progress when submitting…
Is it stable?
Yeah but a lot of those subscribers are probably bots.
You bet, it is online 99% of 50% of the time.
That’s more than my body is online
99.53% stable to be exact!
That explains why it’s struggling to federate
Wait until it is twice as big. :)
