It’s natural to want to find a community an individual aligns with. Because instances are curated, it is my assumption that users engage more than an alternative like nostr for example.
Personally, I struggle trying to curate my feed with stuff I’m actually interested with nostr. In Lemmy a user starts with a small world and expands, it is the opposite with nostr even though technically a user could find a curated relay but this isn’t very intuitive.
What’s stopping a Lemmy instance from federating with two instances that don’t federate with each other?
Those problems with nostr will get better with time. I believe the issues with Lemmy will get worse as the ecosystem grows. A few things will help like account migration and user instance blocking.
