"Owned by its users?"
Come on man, how many of us pay for the servers, and how many admins do we actually elect?
This is another reddit, with the benefit that we can jump to a neighbouring clone to stop the admins from getting too uppity.
That's it, and I love it.
Come on man, how many of us pay for the servers
Depends on your instance. feddit.uk is 100% funded by donations, as are most medium to large instances that accept them.
I would argue that feddit.uk is still registered under someone's name, and that the server is owned by someone. If that one person wants to sellout X years from now, they fully can
how many admins do we actually elect?
You elect them by using their instance
That's a really fair point
I pay monthly to my admin!
Ehhh… if you mean one can port their post and comment history to another instance, then, no [1][1.1]. If you mean one can port their account settings to another instance, then yes [2][1.1].

The main point is being able to still access all of the communities if your admin goes rogue (similar to what Reddit is doing). That's possible on Lemmy, you export / import your settings and you're set.
Keep the same username, add a link to your new and old profiles and the bio, and you just moved instances. You may have lost your comments history, but there is no karma anyway, so why care? And it's still accessible on your old account.

I prefer phtn.app on desktop. IMO Voyager is themed too muck like an iPhone app even on android.
It's the only mobile app available on both OS
Another confusingly named community.
You missed a very interesting brainstorming session. Still less confusing than having [email protected] and [email protected] next to each other
That's what I was referring to.
You'd expect a community named fedibridge to be about https://fed.brid.gy/.
I think the issue is that there's choice. People want the simplest, most streamlined route.
If there was one signup that in the background picked your Lemmy World based on signup questions (IE location and Subs you are interested in), plus a main app to go with it, then it would be more tempting.
Also, Lemmy also looks identical to Reddit which is great for people who want to decentralise. But to the majority of users...it's just a Reddit clone with a smaller userbase. Why switch?
Keep it simple, whilst introducing something fresh
If someone wants a backup account you can try my unbackupped server lemmy.mindoki.com too.
It's backuped but it might take time if something breaks, just so you know.
