really? Joined a few weeks ago and has created a ton of communities including general ones like “oracle” “dell” “litecoin”. A reddit powermod wannabe setting up camp here? Is this permitted / ok as per this server rules?

    Are you aware that Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, … are not encapsulated systems but just tools to participate in federated communication? There isn’t really such a thing as “a post on Lemmy” and “a post on Mastodon” - the systems are transparently working together to form the Fediverse where posts can be read, commented on, blocked, reshared, etc. independent of the platform you are using.

    (Or in simpler terms: Lemmy communities can be posted to from masto and so on.)

    Ecapsulating types of content on the system-level is therefore not really practical and not meant to happen in the Fediverse. However, content can be more or less forced into a small number of instances that other instances/user can then choose to federate with or to block them.

      I am aware, at least to a rudimentary degree. I just think that porn would benefit from different tools and layout then what Lemmy currently shows and that it would be very easy to unfederate (if wanted) if it were it’s own thing.

      As I understand it, that’s the beauty. If you wanted a a group of lemmy instances that interacted with “Parakeet” you could have that bridge. Idk, maybe you think it’s stupid.
