The Truth is hard to find.

I like the word ‘Home’ gives me old school internet vibes. But I fear it too would be abstract if providers is abstract. But home sounds exciting in the way that you could explore the ‘not home’ instances.

Yeah, I also got a particular problem with the word instance, as it signals to me there would be different content in one that is not accessible for the others. That’s how it reads at first thought. But this is obviously not the case for Lemmy. It is all shared. That’s why I like the word provider more. Gmail is an email provider. Lemmy.ml is a Lemmy provider, same as lemmy.world .

that Is currently an issue on the radar. Lets hope it gets picked up quickly

That is a really cool project. I will definitely try it.

Oh yeah, that is a good solution. Thank you

Could go the same way as Gmail. A lot of people just use Gmail. Gmail has a lot of control in the email space because of that. Even though “Email” is an open standard/protocol Gmail has control through the spam filter. Its really hard to setup your own email server without getting a lot of spam so it isn’t that open anymore. These are some challenges for open standards as well.

Here is hoping lemmy is easier to moderate and doesnt end up like that.
