On the flip side, major communities being hosted on defederated instances is a concern.

Which ones are those? Maybe I can't even see them

I know beehaw defederated from lemmyworld and they have some pretty big communities on there. That's just an example that I know of because my first account was beehaw. I'm sure there are others.

Ah makes sense

I can still see beehaw content because they didn't defed with lemmy.ca, but I've avoided posting to their communities. They feel like gated communities, which wasn't productive to community building.

i just blocked beehaw communities because i don't want to accidentally get into a discussion there. If they want to isolate themselves, that's fine, they can exist as their own little thing.
