It’s moreso how here people tend to gravitate to a single community. It is annoying if that community is on an instance which could be banning people for other reasons unrelated to that community. I didn’t say it isn’t a valid space, it’s just how instances work. For a while Blahaj had defederated feddit.uk because we handled trans topics differently to how they’d prefer. It would be annoying if, let’s say, the main and active asklemmy community was on blahaj
Ah yeah that’s a reasonable take and I do know what you mean. I broadly like what federation offers over centralization, but it’s not without its quirks and some drawbacks, I hear ya.
At least if a community goes bad, people can shift very easily and it’s an inconvenience. I think ideally though, there should be a way to create publicly accepted combined communities. Maybe an option in a community’s setting to graft in posts from another community. Although then rule enforcement and moderation might get a little tricky. For example, just say [email protected] grafted in [email protected], maybe along with uk politics and other UK related subs (even local UK subs, that’d be cool!). Users on unitedkingdom may see something on casualuk and unknowingly leave comments on it which are political- and discussing politics is banned on casualuk.
