Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

This is not an issue with federation, centralized services like reddit have the exact same problem, it’s just a problem with anything that lets anyone build a community, really.
I’ve been using lemmy for all of like, an hour, but discovering communities is kind of a pain. Wish there was an instance/community browser inside my instance instead of going to a third party site, searching, opening, copy, and then pasting, then subscribing.
I really see no reason why https://browse.feddit.de/ is not integrated into the site.
I just learnt about browse.feddit.de from your comment. Thank you.
Do you mean something other than https://beehaw.org/communities ? It has a local/all toggle and a search function. On the web interface, it’s on the header of every page.
Yea. That will only show communities that members of beehaw are already subscribed to. And importantly, I’m not registered on that instance. That’s not the website I use.
@communist basically yes. And that would only be aleviated if only admins of a website would be allowed to create them. Which is a kind of hyper centralization not something many people would be fans of.
Yeah, but it has nothing to do with federation, so that’s misinformation. And we wouldn’t want it to be any other way, really.
@communist yep, exactly
