Do you know any Lemmy instances not federated with other ones, living by themselves? Do you know any interesting or creative use case for a not federated instance?

I didn't think your question is as absurd as everyone is acting like it is. It's absolutely a silly thing to do, but I think a lot of the arguments against doing so would also apply to Mastodon, and wasn't it revealed that that Trump's garbage dump was running defedded Masto?

If you find one, I assume there will be many more terrible choices beyond just using Lemmy, and it's not somewhere you'll want to be.

Why is it a silly thing to do? A non-federating lemmy instance is just another content aggregator site like Reddit.

In many ways, it's a better experience than federated Lemmy. It's just harder to recruit members.
