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?

    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!
