Curious Mind Can anybody anywhere in the world š create a website like lemmy and Mastodon with possibility of creating multiple instances and feed it into the fediverse so that it gets shared into both lemmy and?
ns1Not sure exactly what the question is but Iām fairly sure the answer is yes. š
Anyone can start a Lemmy/Mastodon instance and anyone can create new software that federates with it.
My question is that since Lemmy/Mastodon are centred in Europe and hence is bound to follow the EU norms, can anybody create something similar to this - anywhere in the world outside of EU - and then federate it into lemmy/Mastodon ?
What makes you think Lemmy is ācenteredā in the EU?
Anything that doesnāt go down well with the EU norms get banned immediately, sometimes the user too gets blocked.
Lemmy and Mastodon arenāt centralized. Instances can federate with other instances as they choose. If your instance has, for example, a lot of bigoted communities and users, you can expect the bigger instances to de-federate from yours.
You can always federate with instances that reject āEU normsāāwhatever that meansāin a bubble of your own.
Where? Iām not on an EU instance.
