This is a big problem. It creates the illusion that /c/cats on one particular instance is the real /c/cats.

This is the root of re-centralization and it must be pulled out.

    You create an account there probably because you are a star trek fan and want to show it off

    Hell, they could’ve disabled account registration and just hosted the communities. Lemmy allows for that kind of flexibility

      Yeah, I just meant the other user seemed to think you had to create an account for every federated instance you wanted to interact with.
