Federation is pretty cool (lemmy.ubergeek77.chat)

I noticed my feed on Lemmy was pretty dry today, even for Lemmy. Took me a while to realize lemmy.ml has been going up and down all morning, and isn't federating new posts.

But, since this is all still federated, I can still create and read posts on other instances while I wait. Even this one! Any other service would just be unavailable completely right now.

I do miss the larger communities on lemmy.ml - asklemmy, memes, and I really wanted to watch the reddit fallout on /c/reddit. Maybe I'll look around for some good replacements for those. Open to suggestions!

It's fractured by design. There are good things about being fractured. What we actually need is a "fractured" system with an aggregator to ensure the best user experience. You've heard of a system like this before: Cryptocurrencies are by nature 'fractured' but they use the term 'decentralized' and it's what brings safety and security to digital assets. What we need is a "Coinbase" or a "Binance" who "aggregates" all of the "coins" so that a user can just go to the exchange and see ALL of the digital currencies without having to know each of their names and server addresses in advance.
