this is one thing I feel like bluesky got right. it's decentralized but "feels" like a monolith
now i want a community that just posts the newest links from every community it knows about across the threadiverse
lemmy.world is a server. When you post to communities on lemmy.world, each user that has an account on a different server that is watching that community gets a copy
People over complicate federation. I write federated software so lemme break it down. Federation just means data sharing. When you post something on a federation enabled website it sends a copy of your post to everyone who follows you and tells their service to store your data in their database in addition to their own data. What this means is that you can't just blow up a server to shut it down because everyone in the game has a copy.
Kbin has features around filtering and sorting built into the engine that you can't fix with a Lemmy reskin. I know this because I wrote one lol
