I only joined yesterday or the day before but I have to admit, I'm not loving this place so far. Adding communities that are not part of this instance is a giant PITA. The whole instance getting federated or defederated seemingly at the whim of the instance host is a bit sus to me too. Also, for some reason when I'm typing it just keeps having a popup saying "report created" in the bottom left. This place also is just as much of an echo chamber as Reddit from what I have seen, which is by far my biggest gripe with Reddit.
It actually sounds like you would've been way more satisfied if you joined some instance like beehaw.org that have a more sanitized approach to all this. But then again you said you don't want defederation. Seems like you want to eat the cake, but also have it.
Is Beehaw less of an echo chamber? Reading their sidebar it seems like it would be even more of one. I'm curious as to why you think I might be happier there. Is it easier to navigate somehow?
I just imagined that because they are vetting you when you register. But surely you can just join any other small instance and customize your feed. You can even stay in lemmy.world instance and unsubscribe from /c/lemmy.world and other lemmy world communities to spare yourself those echoes.
