      i think i’m conflating lemmy with bluesky. can’t anyone just host an instance? is it open-source? sorry, i should probably just look into this myself.

        Bluesky claims to support federation while being designed to make it entirely impractical and is currently entirely centralized.

        My understanding is that it is technically a “federated” standard, but I think there is a lot of technical hurdles to implementing and hosting a compatible server. So no one actually does it, and I’m not sure they’d federate even if someone went through the trouble of getting it up and running.

          someone else said something that made me think i’m conflating Bluesky with Mastadon. and apparently “conflating” is my word of the day.
