Many of the subscriptions I’m making are to magazines that are coming from lemmy or other nstances because these are the ones making their way into my feed. Is there any downside to this in the fediverse?
Is there any reason (technical or otherwise) why I should prefer magazines that are at kbin.social (or kbin.anything) or does it literally not matter at all?
Edited to add: Thanks for all the good answers, I get it now!
You should spend less time on external instances and more on kbin. lemmy.ml has a weird moderation and the content you read is curated in their direction. The minute I can make a setting stick it will be to defederate with lemmy and cultivate my own garden here. Federation should be done on a trust basis, not on a “fear of missing out” basis. Be the content you want to read and post it here.
The federation system will soon switch to a whitelist only mode. The admins will quickly become fed up with all the pedo too enthusiast about finding a huge crowd to shock. It will be one scandal, two scandals and boom, whitelisted federation only.
