If say, someone in Beehaw wanted to interact with Lemmy.World, they’d have to make an account on Lemmy.World or some other instance that hasn’t defederated

I’m new here, do you know if lemm.ee has been defederated either way?

It was doing the same thing for me but I checked my email and there was a verification, once I completed it my registration went through. It didn’t actually tell me it was sending an email which is probably a flaw but it seems that’s the missing piece.

lemm.ee said it was newcomer-friendly and I was a newcomer so bingo bango there I went. I suppose I can always join a different instance if I need to but I’m still just getting a grip on this place so I’m good for now.

They are still public on reddit right now so I don’t know if it’s a good idea to create an alternative here already.

Reddit’s Reddit. There’s no reason to worry about what they do or don’t have. If you want to make one, go for it!

I totally get the sentiment (I’m coming from reddit, I’ve interacted with these people) but let it go. The dicks can have reddit. From what little time I’ve spent here, Lemmy seems so much more civil and respectful, and I think we should do everything we can to keep that positive energy flowing.

Reddit going to shit is disappointing, but since we’ve got a great alternative here there’s no need to remain emotionally invested.

My understanding from the announcement post was because those are two large instances with open registration, and they want to be able to better vet new users to make sure they’re not trolls
