That’s a great community! Thank you for sharing!

There was an attempt to patch the server to the first release candidate two days ago. It didn’t went well: 500 error appeared, and the patch was reverted. You may see the details here: https://lemmy.world/post/226641

It seems like this concept is “orthogonal” to the current federation concept, proposed by the ActivityPub protocol.

In the proposed case, the instances act as a pure “computational and storage fabric” or some kind of a “cdn” of a service, without any “personality” incorporated in them.

So I would not say that this is “better” or “worse”. It is just another concept.

Oh boy! There is such a huge amount of fediverse services… By the way, WTF is Misskey? And how is has 1M users?
