If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.
If I made my own instance with only me as a member and I only subscribe to showerthoughts.lemmy.fmhy.lm then that’s the only community/push update my instance would get?
Yep, you’ll only get content that someone on your instance has subscribed to, so if that’s the only subscription that’s the only content that’ll show up.
Where can I read about this architecture?
