We’re the generation that learned to troubleshoot bc we had to. If we wanted to play that shiny new game or app, we had to actually get it running first.

Are you sure you’re looking at the right page? My All feed always shows posts from other instances and never matches my local feed.

So far so good, since lemmy is decentralized though users can spread out across many servers to help handle the load while maintaining access to the same aggregated content. You could even run your own personal lemmy instance at home to connect to the lemmy-verse. That way you would be responsible for hosting your own account instead, all while still being able to connect, post, and vote in other instances communities.

Actually thats your All feed. You have a local feed for your local Instances communities and an All feed for All instances communities.

Don’t forget you can always self host one’s own instance and access the larger fediverse from it, without Ads. So because it’s open source, itll always be easy to access the fediverse with an Ad free experience. A personal instance doesn’t need to grow, scale, host 40gb of data, or have any content at all either so it doesn’t come with the issues of a public instance.

Or Facebook who can spend money like no other, shove their users in, and will just control the whole thing.

This just doesn’t make sense at all. IF Fb ever added ActivityPub support (it would take a huge rework of their format) but instances would just defederate from it like they did with ad supported instances. And then what is even the point of FB ActivityPub support if their exiled.
