Lemmy Servers and different registrations (wirebase.org)

Hello everyone on asklemmy. I'm new to the lemmyverse and enjoy the communities and people here :) But now my question is: what's the difference between creating an account on a server where you have to go through a whole series of steps? I don't know if that's the case, but I feel like there's a difference between an account on a server where I have to go through a whole registration process and get approved manually and an account that I can "just" register and use. I don't understand the difference since I can interact with all communities on all servers. Thank you in advance!

I have the impression that a place like beehaw is defederating so much, that in the end they'll be on their own.

I don't need an e-mail to use reddit, it would be a pitty to need one on the alternative.

I don’t think they are defederating “so much”, however even if they did Beehaw’s primary focus is being it’s own community, I don’t think being on its own would bother them so much or the people who were there before the Reddit exodus.
