if you’re not trying to have your posts heard by the public, then why would you be concerned who mastodon.art is federated with? wouldn’t you just join there and enjoy the specific community… > I’m not trying to build a general audience or have my general posts be heard by the public. > i’m trying to be part of a specific community. > Federation seems bad here if the community is not fully open. these seem to entirely contradict each other. |

Because the community is closed, currently lol.
> these seem to entirely contradict each other.
Yea, i think we agree? My point was (roughly) that Federation contradicts being part of a community if you rely on Federation to be part of the community.
Ie don't use federation if you need to be part of a specific community. And in my case, well, i guess i just don't join lol. If the community is at max capacity, too late. Maybe one day they open, but such is life. Federation isn't designed for this, it seems, and that's fine. "This" being, distributing a community. It seems communities are centralized.
