ie. Will you really miss anything if your home instance stopped federating? Question mainly targeted at the less tech-savvy users of the largest instances
Edit: I know federation is important for smaller instances and other fedi apps, but my question was directed at lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml users. Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that the first time.
I wish there was a way to easily transfer accounts between instances (nomadic identity), so that federation could really shine (as it definitely benefits smaller instances), but I am also sometimes annoyed by the low effort drive-by comments that federation enables.
