What I don't really about #lemmy instances is that the concept is flawed. #Reddit is a designed (at least now) as a collection of forums. The appeal is that instead of keeping track of multiple community forums, you keep track of one big aggregator.
Lemmy, since it's meant to use ActivityPub and comunicate with other #fediverse apps (including forums) should embrace the old reddit style (no sub-communities, just one r/all) and let actual lemmy instance be the subreddits
@crittero I really don't like giving instances even more centrality on this platform.
I already disagree with the design choice to put them above users in this design, so proposals like making them the subreddits strikes me as doubling down on a questionable philosophy.
I do think of lemmy as one big aggregator, just with AP as its database/API. The instances just feed into it.
