I’m beginning to see that in order for lemmy to be truly federated, users must also become federated

If everyone was spread out onto different instances, and communities were based all over the fediverse, the decisions of one instance would be less impactful.

This is a real shame, and highlights to me that the federation model might be wrong. If I want to access these subs now, I have to create a new account and I wish I didn't have to. I wonder if the federated part should be user federation rather than instance federation?
something something blockchain?
Why is that?
I’m not super familiar with torrenting protocols, but would have naively assumed that the very fact that subs have a single source of truth (e.g. selfhosted@lemmy.world is hosted on lemmy.world in its entirety, and then only cached on other lemmy instances) would be enough?
I guess we’d need to federate the sub list, we wouldn’t want a central source of truth for that, but that bit isn’t any different to what we have currently AFAIK

No, you’ve completely missed what I said
I didn’t make a comment against lemmy.world, it was a comment against lemmy the application’s current data model for users
