Given it’s open source, others could self-host their own variants of it if they’d like a non-federated alternative to Reddit.

    […] why would anyone even want it when it won’t even federate with anyone […]

    Federation isn’t always seen as a positive (see: discussions linked on fedibridge complaining, without realizing it sometimes, of certain instances’ people) for those aware of it, and for many more it’s just not even a factor they consider.

    But also bleh about the search, wasn’t aware of that.

      Discuit has less than 200 weekly commenters. Lemmy has more than 50k monthly active users.

      Trusting a single admin for a whole platform only brings you so far.
