The analogy doesn’t really fit though. Houses and parties are presumed to be invite-only by default. That’s not true for lemmy communities that federate with the general user base. It’s more like being told you can’t buy anything from a store after seeing others being able to do so.

You’re technically right, but the notion is close enough. Maybe if it were a party at a park? Would that be a better analogy for you?

Well your house is not in a mall though

if we go with a mall analogy, you are free to enter most shops, but a shop owner is in his full right to close the entrance and make it a private club, even if the walls are windows, and the door is left open with a sig8 they says members only.
