Comment on FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?
ieGod@lemmy.zip 12 hours agoSnuck in an edit that touches some or your points. I’m not on Lemmy because of federation, that’s incidental. I’m here because it’s another option to explore. But I still use reddit, too, because the community is there.
I can assure you here that the majority here will always want federation in anything even if it makes the sign-up process more complicated slightly to new users. For many reasons.
And sure, features also matter. If they didn’t, then Matrix would be already winning here.

federation is important not because it can be used as some kind of buzzword, but because without it, even here we would be much fewer. there would be more very small communities, which can’t interact, and overall with strictly distinct lemmy instances the whole user number would be much lower because of things people complain about a lot even this way, that there’s not enough content
