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?

why use Lemmy instead of just being a normal forum if you aren't going to federate?

That is exactly why I asked. Maybe there is a reason I am missing. I expected some out of the box thinking.

well I'd say since non-federated Lemmy is just a forum with a bunch of stuff for federation that you won't use, there's no point. if you want a forum, then Lemmy is the wrong answer. Lemmy is (or at least is designed to be) an open-source, federated copy of reddit, keeping the good parts while removing the corpo stuff and adding the benefits that open-source and federation bring. with only one instance, it's little more than a mediocre forum.

Lemmy is not a forum, though, any more than Mastodon is. It's a totally different, if relates, form factor and provises a radically different user experience.

i disagree.lemmy absolutely is a forum (subject-based threaded discussion). mastodon absolutely is not.
