When using reddit we can access everything under one account. That is the point. If each instance need each account then there is no use. I should be able to open one account and access everything. If people are segregated into multiple instance and no connection between them then there is no use. Yeah if they are allowing posting of csam content etc then fine defederation is necessary.

This seems like a misunderstanding of how Fediverse works. It's about voluntary association between instance owners. If you don't like the decisions made by your instance owner, then the point of Fediverse is that you can either find an instance that thinks like you do, or make your own. It's not about forcing owners to associate with other instances they dislike, even if you disagree with the reasoning.

There's a bit of downside in that Lemmy doesn't let you migrate accounts at this time, but it's basically brand-new open source software. Whether you meant to or not, you signed up to be a user for an incomplete experience.

Welcome to the fediverse! Instance admins are under obligation to federate with every other instance possible, and are also under no obligation to do everything in their power to recapture the reddit experience.

Well it’s a good thing there’s already a place where you can do that!
