Admin of lemmy.blahaj.zone

I can also be found on the microblog fediverse at @ada or on matrix at @ada:chat.blahaj.zone

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Does federation connect to a single lemmy network, or can there be multiple?

When a lemmy instance federates, does it connect to one big lemmy network, or can there be multiple disconnected, yet locally federated instances? What I’d like to know is, can I simply join any Lemmy server and choose “All” to view everything Lemmy has to offer, or is there still hidden content?...

Your instance connects directly to other instances. All of the lemmy instances doing that with each other is the lemmy network.

Each instance can connect with any other instance unless blocked, but will not do so until someone on your instance follows a community on the remote instance.

In short, there is no way to see everything, and there is no one true view

More impossible than improbable. An instance that willingly federates with every other instance would be blocked in a heart beat by many other instance admins, because if they’re fine federating with CSAM, nazis and the like, then they’re not going to be welcome.

Users have legislative protection of their right to be forgotten in many jurisdictions, so, yes, they should be able to. The question is more should they have the ability to take other people’s content out at the same time
