Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3. (self.lemmyworld)

I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars "web3"

What advantage would switching to crypto have? I'm not well versed in how Lemmy works yet but I don't see why Lemmy would need blockchain.

Because Crypto desperately needs new fodder for the bottom of the pyramid

Blockchain is basically a write only database. It's great for stuff like financial transactions, but it's not really necessary for something like Lemmy.

Blockchain/proof of work is indeed not necessary, but identities should not be bound to instances. That's the thing #nostr gets right and the #fediverse doesn't.
