Is it possible Lemmy's API changes the way reddits did? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I don't mean the recent selling API rights at absurd costs but when they went from open sourcish to closed.

wdym it's not decentralised? do you mean the development is centralised?

I mean instances are not decentralized, they are federated. When I say "decentralized," I mean how BitTorrent is decentralized, as in there's no central server where everything happens. Lemmy is federated, which means there are multiple centralized instances that communicate with each other.
