You know, lemmy world has the largest population, so it's really obvious when things are getting blocked. I finally did a search today on their side. Only one or 2 per day are coming through. I suspected that they regulated their content, but why not just block me? So weird.
When trying to convince people to move to Fediverse services, people will often refer to them as "alternatives", calling Mastodon a Twitter-alternative, PeerTube a YouTube-alternative, etc. But I don't think this is the most effective approach.
What I'm imagining is that someone running a project (like a game studio for example) creates an instance of PieFed or Lemmy or whatever, disables sign-ups, creates community(-ies) for their project(s), and lets people post there.
Inspired by a new introducing video and its reference to https://jointhefediverse.net/ , see link and discussion here: https://piefed.social/post/889659
Context: this community has flairs now! (also, PieFed recently added flair support! - they don't yet federate though, particularly with Lemmy that is lagging behind in features by comparison)
