I joined during the first Reddit exodus, and it seemed like for ages the amount of Lemmy content was generally increasing (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but overall increasing). Now it seems that when I sort by New, I get through everything since my last visit much more quickly than I used to. Is that my imagination, or is the activity declining?

I think Lemmy needs a better way to federate communities, so if you sub to say a "Star Trek" community on 3 instances, you don't get the same post 3 times, but instead it's somehow linked and content federates; this would be at the community and not instance level, so there's more community self-governance, and communities can migrate instances without so much intervention from instance admins. I think that will really help growth and decentralization.

The whole point of federation is a variety of moderation styles so it doesn't really make sense to federate in comments from other communities because it would take away any identity that exists
