Do you know any Lemmy instances not federated with other ones, living by themselves? Do you know any interesting or creative use case for a not federated instance?

Hexbear was the only instance with a sizable user base that used to do this, but these days they federate too
Do you know why they were not federated and then changed to federation?
They were running a self maintained fork of lemmy that wasn’t compatible, though I don’t know if that was the original reason
I didn’t think your question is as absurd as everyone is acting like it is. It’s absolutely a silly thing to do, but I think a lot of the arguments against doing so would also apply to Mastodon, and wasn’t it revealed that that Trump’s garbage dump was running defedded Masto?
If you find one, I assume there will be many more terrible choices beyond just using Lemmy, and it’s not somewhere you’ll want to be.
Well now hang on. What if you were in 8th grade, and started your own Lemmy instance, with no outside sources, and then invite all your classmates? And then all 30 of you have a blog and you all post individual blog posts.
Seems like a very specialized use of it, and I’m not sure if teens today would be interested in that…but you COULD.
Federation didn’t create lemmy.
do you mean basically any forum not based on federation? like 99% of other communities?
Yes, but using Lemmy and not federated.
