Yeah, once the fediverse has had more opportunity to settle in and features like redirecting become available it would be cool to see communities move towards whatever instance is the best fit for the topic it fall into.

Like an instance that becomes a well known music instance, so becomes the automatic recommend for anyone looking to find a community for a specific genre or group. And a television instance that becomes the go to for any specific tv show based communities. A hobby instance where you can find like knitting or woodcarving.

Would be so much easier to find communities through topic based instances than the current random sprawl of communities.

Any recommendations on how to mitigate risks like this when it comes to browsing lemmy? Any lite version to see lemmy through without Javascript?

Yeah, the media alternatives was something I did not know about.

I see this fediverse thing as anticorporate, so it’s why I don’t find the association with companies like META alluring. There’s a reason why I try to avoid META services, and don’t have accounts on places like facebook or instagram. If an instance is part of META then I’d be asking myself what’s the difference from me having an account with META?

I find corporate take over more troubling than the personal politics of some users, since that’s the type presence that can completely change the reason for a platform’s existence. Regardless of individual beliefs I think lot of people on the fediverse see corporations as the main enemy, and with any conflict between each other becoming secondary should and when META make a move. This includes instances that want to defederate from each other, since META is like some world ending big boss enemy everyone is in danger of.
