    Lemmy is one forum with several communities.

    No its not.

    The feed one sees (or, well, used to see) in, say, LemmyNSFW, isn’t the same feed one sees in far-left Lemmygrad or Hexbear (especially when they were defederated from the entirety of the Fediverse due to domain ownership issues), which isn’t the same feed from right-wing/far-right/ancap instances, which isn’t the same feed from automated bridging instances (e.g. Lemmit, Bridgy or Mostr instances), which isn’t the same feed as aggregators (such as Flipboard), which isn’t the same feed ones sees in general-purpose lemmy.zip… Or in geographically-specific instances such as feddit.org, lemmy.eco.br, feddit.cl… I guess you got the point.

    I’ve personally been in many of those instances, I’ve seen each of their feeds. And I promise you: they’re definitely not the same. Their contents don’t necessarily appear in other instances.

    And if we include other non-Lemmy platforms (such as Misskey), the differences goes off the charts. Misskey “forums”, for example, are definitely a whole other (animesque) world. Flipboard, Wordpress blogs… They got wholly different feeds. Some of them make their way to some Lemmy instances.

    In the end, it all boils down to which instances each instance federates to or defederates with.

    Lemmy, and by extension the Fediverse, is but “one” monolithic thing. Ain’t “oneness” when it comes to the Fediverse: this is what Reddit is (as per your previous reply to my comment), it’s Reddit which got “one forum with several communities”, not Lemmy, definitely not Fediverse.
