It seems as if there is a bubble about to pop tbh. Along with twitter/reddit, it seems that even youtube is desperately trying to squeeze profit from a dried lemon by testing to see if users will stop using adblockers.
I think the dirty secret is that social media is both an incredibly vital part of people's lives and businesses, but it's free and ad revenue doesn't really make anyone the crazy profits their valuations suggest it should. That it's happening all at once is I think partly attributable to financial tightening -- higher interest rates mean people have less patience with money they've floated, partly that Twitter going weird gave everyone else cover to do the same, and my personal opinion, the Writer's Strike gives a little room for the companies to do dumb shit without having to worry about getting roasted on late night.
I don’t think I understand federation still. A lot of communities added to lemmy.world aren’t federated to other lemmy instances it seems. At least I can’t subscribe to them from my geddit.social account.
You click join-lemmy.org and are presented with a page of information about the fediverse, links to set up a server and pictures of code...
Not sure what universe you are from but in my reality that's just bullshit. What you said is there but right next to the "set up a server" button is a "join a server button". And right above the scary code pictures is another "join a server button".
