Day 2 here, and I can see the growth already. Personally I really like the notion of how its gonna shape up in the future but at the same time I really feel for the average user as of now its too complex to understand the working and how the cross servers thing is working. I mean yes still early days, UI will improve further leading to a better UX but the core mechanism yet is little tough to get along. For instance, still unclear if I made the right choice by signing up on lemmydotworld why not lemmydotml , beehaw etc… and where does this stop? like in the coming times i it would be like a thousands of servers lemmy.this lemmy.that lemmy.etc or anything.anything. That’s soo confusing for someone who just wanna join a server. Would be interesting to see how “signup anywhere, its the same thing” evolves.

    That analogy doesn’t hold when yahoo can block gmail and proton can block all yahoo content, etc.

      they can do that though. it just doesn’t happen with big email providers. but many large email providers auto-block smaller ones.

        Yep, so now its very difficult to run your own mailserver. Extrapolating this to Lemmy, I guess large instances will start autoblocking small instances by default.
