Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork.
Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?
We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?
Personally, I think the big thing is that we need a tool to see who is defederated from who. We don’t want some poor sod somehow thinking that since they are leftist that Hexbear or Lemmygrad would be a good place for them.
Here is a tool to see federated status of instances.

My only concern is this place is mostly friendly, as with Mastodon, I wouldn’t like that to change.
Having said that, I have never found lemmmygrad or Hexbear that bad.
I think as long as they don’t all come at once, but in a more staggered, September style, then we should be able to handle them with moderation.
Some more people are going to need to volunteer to mod, though.
Yeah agreed. Who am i cutting out by joining this instance
