I came here around the time the rif app shut down, and the general vibe I get from this place is much more negative than when I joined. Is Lemmy growing more toxic or is it just my imagination?

Reading the comments here brings up a question I’ve had. Does it really make any difference what instance I’m on? I thought the whole benefit of federation was that it does not matter where I’m coming from.
It does kinda matter.
If the instance you are on defederates from another instance, you wont see the defederated instance’s content.
IIRC, the only thing you would really miss on Lemmy.World would be Hexbear. Maybe Exploding Heads? I don’t recall the entire list. But they’re all dipshit trolls, so nothing of value is actually being lost.
Somewhere on your instance page, usually at the bottom, you can click “instances” and see which are federated and not.
It 100% does. I’m on 3 to get different flavors of Lemmy. I was on 4, but left an instance because of tone.
Yeah it kinda does, WHEN YOUR INSTANCE IS ALWAYS DOWN AAAARGH
