For me, it’s more like “Did I accidentally drop a hot take and got the entire community to go against me?”

Thanks! I’ve made the correction. No idea how to ping you like on Reddit.

Since no one is posting it, here are the names of each of these apps:

• S tier

  • Wefwef
  • Lemmy (not an app, just use Lemmy on your mobile’s web browser)

• A tier

  • Connect for Lemmy (Android only)
  • Liftoff (Android, Windows, Linux, MacOS, and iOS (TestFlight))

• B tier

  • Jerboa (Android only)

• C tier

  • Summit (Android only)
  • (I don’t know the second C-tier app) Lemmynade (this is the old name for Liftoff (thanks aDogCalledSport@lemmy.zip))

• D tier

  • Lemmotif (Android | iOS (Testflight))

The other big issue with Liftoff is that you can’t search for communities outside of your own instance without first adding the instance said community is hosted on. Unless someone can correct me on that.

There must never be a single dominant instance. If one instance becomes too large, they end up having too much influential power. And with all that power, big corporations or power tripping admins will use that power to coerce other instances to do certain things. “Don’t want to follow our unilaterally-imposed rule? We’re gonna cut off your entire instance and your users will lose access to our communities.”

If Meta doesn’t get defederated, they will become the dominant instance. They already have the most amount of users since I’m assuming you can use your Facebook/Instagram account, they’ll have the most amount of user activity, and of course the most amount of power.
