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.

    If that is indeed what the other poster meant, then it’s even worse - it’s missing the point of federation, that is “let’s not centralise our discussions within a single place, as this gives too much power to the people who control that place”.

      Sure, I agree with you :) I just wanted to clear up what I saw as a misunderstanding, not argue against your point :)

        Then my first interpretation was correct. TL;DR: yes, it is an issue, “we” (Lemmyverse users) should be spreading out more.
