Is there a SubRedditDrama community equivalent here?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There is a fediverse drama sub in lemmy.ca

Yet another reason why it's great to be Canadian.

Exactly the reason why Lemmy at scale will never work, since most people won't run their own instance.

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think running your own instance is required, just that the user base needs to be distributed across more instances. The happy median lies somewhere between "uber" instances and self-hosted.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, but the common user would just register on the most popular instance. It will take a lot of effort to change that mindset.
