    That doesn’t really seem to answer the question though… why be on Lemmy.world? What does “the most active instance” even mean in the context of federation?

    I’m really confused by your response and I get the feeling maybe you don’t understand federation?

    It doesn’t matter what instance you view, post, or otherwise interact with the content from. The only thing that matters is who’s federated with whom. In the case of Lemmy.world, they defederate people. From your response, it seems like you’d be better served finding a server that does not defederate or that defederates more to your tastes.

    There is literally no reason to be on lemmy.world in the fediverse.

      I have accounts with a few other instances. They’re all federated with Lemmy.world, and it seems the most active communities stem on Lemmy.world. Posts may not get blocked as often on other instances, but the echos still lean deep in one direction or another.

      Just my observation so far.

        What “echos” are you talking about? Who cares if the “active communities stem on [sic] Lemmy.world?” What does it matter what instance you are interacting with the content from? It literally makes no difference.
