theres some open servers minimal on de-federation that have been around for awhile… i would call these ‘on-ramp’ servers… they host little locally-created content, but users can interface with the rest of the verse freely… mine is one of those.
cept im not using lemmy. lemmy is kinda fugly imho. i wanted a more contemporary old.reddit
As a casual user, having your server (picked due to larger size) blocked by others due to poor moderating (assuming this is the problem with .world), will likely lead to simple abandonment of the platform. At least by those who are generally well meaning, but not engaged enough to learn more quickly.
I imagine the attrition rate from this alone will keep adoption low.
I’m willing to put in a bit more effort, but I’m in the same boat… Just chilling on .world, probably missing out on things I don’t even know about, and I’m not likely to put in the time to change that soon, I have other problems lol.
If the general trend is to wall up when in disagreement, and larger servers collapse too easily under the weight of to many casual users vs dedicated mods (as selection pressure would tend to move more dedicated people to smaller more controlled servers)… Well hopefully the smaller communities can grow at a sustainable pace, while us casuals try to find the right one/s.
yeah, not sure what to tell you… theres just no warning when your instance is run by shit heads.
you could go check https://fedidb.com/servers for places to test.

theres a frontend that works exactly like old reddit called mlmym
theres a few instances that host it like old.lemmy.today old.lemmy.zip old.lemmy.world
yeah, but then you have to use lemmy which has almost zero microblog interaction… my other deciding factor

Not many instances defed .world, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about unless there’s specific ones you know you want
PieFed has added features that reduce the need for defederation, and hopefully Lemmy will copy them
Also you don’t really need to leave .world, you can use 2 accounts, the 3rd party apps all handle this nicely
