Hmmm; I am new to LemmyNet AND Beehaw.org; but have been falling in love with the platforms. However, I do want to see 'all' of LemmyNet.

What is the lemmyworld 'open registration policy? I ask because all I needed to supply to register HERE is a username/password. ??? Isn't that open registration?

Second, why not allow more moderators - please don't feel like you have to go over old stuff... I'm going to read thru some of Beehaw.org's PAST posts that I'm sure talk about this issue - but it seems like theres a great Beehaw.org community - if yer having issue w/ moderation, hire moderators; I bet the 'cost' is pretty cheap.

Last; what LemmyNet community should one join if they WANT to see the entire LemmyNet? I came aboard Beehaw.org BECAUSE I agreed w/ most of what the site stands for; but since I'm really getting into Lemmy I think I want to be where 'everything' is - good and bad.

Thanks for the explanation - even if confusing for a new user.

I like the Fediverse b/c its more connected than our old forums of yesteryear, but without big tech breathing down out necks...

Thats a good point - jeez. Yea, I don't want to miss Beehaw; I don't want to miss anyone... thanks for the tip.

OK; understood and FULLY agree with your registration vs. others that can be gamed by a script kiddy. That question, and response, was part of the reason I chose Beehaw, too - I get it, thanks.

I get it that hiring new moderators would take some work; and I wouldn't suggest or support just letting anyone doso - like ME... I think I'm too new to be 'trusted' to doso - but it seems like you have many members of the Beehaw community that might want to help, and fit.

Thanks - I'll check the list of LemmyNet sites and pick the largest one - I suppose lemmy.world is the 'WHQ' and might best fit what I'm wanting... I prefer Beehaw, but since I'm new the LemmyNet I want to see ALL of whats going on - I want to see the influx of Reddit users... I want to see where Lemmy lacks and watch it as it continues to be developed.

I respect ya'll choice to defederate, I personally think you should just ask for the community to help w/ your work; regardless of how you try to slow LemmyNet down, when its more successful your jobs are going to grow exponentially. I'd prefer if you didn't do this; and think you'd be in a better position if you simply deal with LemmyNets growth...

Thanks for the quick reply, and I aren't going anywhere - if welcome - but I'll find a fully-federated LemmyNet to bridge the gap. :P

You know whats funny... while I have Apollo installed - I always used Reddit's main app. :P LULZ - but I fully support them keeping their API open, as it has been for YEARS. I think they're fully out of line.

Ask for help; community.

What is the Beehaw.org devs country of origin?

LOL ; thank gosh I haven't seen that, yet... I hope LemmyNet continues to be developed and takes advantage of Reddit's ship jumpers.

It's all about the money, baby.
