This level of shitposting? So... no-shit posting?

Yeah it's definitely possible. I remember my waterproof Walkman.
I don't care for them myself, but unless they're causing problems outside for everyone else, why defederate?
If there are communities you don't want to see, you can block them as they appear.
Make sure you remove any and all bots created, and delete all the custom work you did. Reddit can probably restore it, but it'll take them time and effort to do so.
That's cos the ones who wanted to leave are here lol
You can tilt your head 90 degrees too.
You're correct that you can't just go to one community on one instance and see every new technology discussion that is taking place on Lemmy, but you CAN subscribe to all of the technology-related communities on different instances and scrolling through posts of communities you're subscribed to will show you all the discussions you want to see.
Ideally yes, but for a more niche community, federation is slower and posts don't get pushed through. I can see a lot of confusion when someone creates a niche sub because they thought it didn't exist, when in reality it does, and they were just the first to search for it from their server.
Oh how do you do that auto federation thing?
The problem is that federation doesn't work very well just yet. I see different subscriber stats based on which instance I view from. It's very confusing for a new user.
It doesn't help that there are people trying to cybersquat on communities. I see a lot of mods create 20 new communities with no content. That's not helping anyone.
