Do you know any Lemmy instances not federated with other ones, living by themselves? Do you know any interesting or creative use case for a not federated instance?

    Aren’t they basically different interfaces for the same thing?

      No. Mastadon is a microblog/twitter platform. While lemmy is a link aggregator/reddit.

          No clue, i had to tap out while looking at it. That was a hot mess, and i feel dumber for having read anything there.

            I’m not sure I get it either. Is it just a url to a specific Scored community or somehow its own instance?

            It doesn’t mention activity pub or federation. I think it’s just another reddit clone. [email protected] (does that ping work?)

              It appeared to be a Reddit type site, but without communities. Just all of the drivel in one feed with only upvotes.

          doesn’t look like either mastodon or lemmy, although its structure is similar to lemmy; from the sidebar it appears they are running something called “scored” which I don’t know anything about

      they are different server platforms using the same protocol for different purposes. mastodon == federating twitter, ie ‘old man shouts into the cloud’. lemmy == federating reddit, ie threaded discussions.

      there are so many perfectly good non-federating server products as to make this question moot. lemmy is the wrong platform for a stand-alone environment.

        What if you’re using it as a honeypot and federating a copy of the data?

            Well now hang on. Not all jerks on the fediverse are bad actors. I’m a jerk, but I’m a GREAT actor!
