In reaponse to your #3 point - this is absolute fucking ridiculous. This type of bullshit will kill Lemmy.
Comment on New to Lemmy. I have a couple of questions.

No, you’re not missing out on anything. You can have multiple accounts if you wish, you can have one. Short of an instance going down that you have your account on, you can interact with it all.

Official as in a centralized server with all the “main” stuff? No. Each server might have its own News community.

There isn’t yet, but with the way Lemmy mods are going, it won’t be long. Starting to get some whiffs of mods banning people because they’ve voted wrongly on posts. Lemmy is unique in that it lets mods see what you’ve up/down voted.

With #3, someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe your run-of-the-mill moderator can see upvotes and downvotes. But instance admins can, just by nature of having access to the server data. Federation wouldn’t work if other instances couldn’t communicate upvotes and downvotes across the platform to other instances, so short of finding some way to encrypt all the data, it’s an unavoidable consequence of the standard.

It’s important to remember that if the admins of your server defederate (disconnect, not sync) with a given server, you will not have access to that I stance’s posts. This is where multiple accounts can come in handy.
