That’s not how federation works. You can still interact with lemmy.world and its users from another instance, but spreading out not only helps with lemmy.world’s load, but also the fediverse.

Almost definitely, it’s hard to imagine there’s a community on lemmy.world that not one of the 20k users have susbcribed to
Pretty much any of the top 5 instances already subscribe to each others communities. Definitely not missing out on lemm.ee either!
One can easily get around that by simply subscribing to more communities!
I agree, but it’s too late now. Even Sync defaults to the .world instance, and at this rate, they’ll only grow bigger.
You want to defederate from the largest Lemmy instance, the poster child, and the mascot of Lemmy? Good luck. They are Lemmy now.
probably it’s just not worth it attacking smaller instances? lemmy.world is such a juicy target given how big it is.
As long as it isn’t actual credentials from reputable sites, it’s almost definitely a scam lol
