This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation?

A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Either way you call it, it's someone else deciding for me
No it isn't. You've got the whole Fediverse to choose from. That's the whole fucking point.
If you want every single decision to go your way, run your own instance. Otherwise, quit moaning and find an instance that suits you.
Live in someone's house, then follow their rules. Otherwise buy your own house or find another house.
That's what I associate lemmy instances with. Anyways I'm glad that we are free to choose where we maintain our accounts. Unlike reddit wher we cannot even move in order to change the environment, cause it's all under one management.
I would say to all the people who came here from reddit that none of these instances are 'your' house unless you actually created them. This is September and you're all freshmen.
How very sophomoric of you
Sorry, I couldn't resist the play on words
