    I read a bit about it here. It seems like a much better model than Reddit. It looks like each instance is controlled by the instance creator, who also supplies the hardware. But it is much more free and open. The only controllers I see are the ones hosting the instances, however it is easy to move from one instance to another, same for content.

    I tried to log in to behaw and others with my lemmy.world user but the login just works for a very long time and nothing happens. I dont know.

      I’ve read about it a few times, but I always seem to forget how to say it specifically when I need to.

      You would need to register for Beehaw, and while I’m not entirely sure what the entirety of it is, I know they review people who are trying to sign up, it isn’t just enter details, confirm email and go.

        They probably have a free choice to review who can join, which blocks the federated part that allows a federated user to log in?
