Defederation is a thing ... anyone for whom this community is a main draw and not yet committed to a Lemmy instance would do well to pitch their tent on lemmy.world (lemmy.world)

So, the instance I joined Lemmy on last week largely to participate here defederated from lemmy.world an hour ago. It's early post-Reddit days, which is the only reason I'm posting a general tech tip in ~~/r/~~!austin, but it's a previously impossible inconvenience that isn't theoretical. Choose wisely or start your collection of alts early!

Another thought is if you really want control over your “home” instance’s federation you could host your own instance and call all the shots

As someone who is going to move a subreddit over to Lemmy, this is a really good idea. I could just host that one on my own, and if I don't add people to my server, I could make sure that it doesn't get overloaded. People could connect from other federated servers to view and make posts/comments.

That’s what StarTrek has done. The various StarTrek subs have closed permanently on Reddit and all moved together to their own Lemmy instance, startrek.website.
