I want to offer another perspective on the concept of a federated network and data accessibility. Previously, Reddit held complete control over the data and recently restricted access to its API. In contrast, Lemmy operates on a federated model where your posts and comments are replicated across other instances that are part of the federation with your home instance.

For example, you can visit the link https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected], where the Lemmy.world server maintains a copy of the posts and comments from this instance, and any updates are replicated accordingly. Therefore, with Lemmy, rather than a single entity having exclusive control over all your data, it is available across multiple diverse instances.

Ultimately, whether the federated model in Lemmy is viewed as a positive or negative aspect depends on one's priorities and preferences regarding data ownership, redundancy, centralization, and moderation.

P.S: Soon reedit might also lock access behind a login screen like what twitter did.

So if me and a group of friends install lemmy instances on our pcs, and setup some form of dynamic dns duckdns that will bind our ips to some hostname, then will all of them communicate with eachother and sync the posts as we come online?

I did not get what you mean exactly? What you are asking is what we have now with multiple instances. If you need more information on selfhosting lemmy you can checkout many posts in https://lemmy.ml/c/selfhost and https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted. If you are familiar with Ansible you can directly run this playbook https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

I understand how multiple instances work and how I can subscribe to communities across the fediverse from any instance. I also read that it an instance goes offline, it'll sync up with the other instances when it comes back online.

That got me thinking, it this thing works like that, can't I run an instance on my laptop that'll sync up with the rest of the fediverse every time I open it up.

So if a group of people ran their own in their own laptops, would it work, granted, people end up coming online at the same time

Very interesting idea. I am not sure how robust syncing will be in this case. This would work with current lemmy versions, and the devs are thinking of disabling this behavior. check this PR https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3427 , which disables federation to an instance if it is offline for sometime.
