Private in the sense of limited visibility and access to prevent things like harassment and brigading, not private in the sense you're thinking. This is not a security feature, it's an asshole prevention feature.
Sure! But, in this case Lemmy is literally a federated copypasta of Reddit, like Madtodon is of X.
This is being overly simplistic IMO. Lemmy is not a direct copy paste of reddit, just the idea is the same. Lemmy is missing many of the tools reddit has come to depend on for things like moderation and community engagement. The idea is the same but the framework is different and that comes with its own challenges.
Lemmy is a good enough platform for now and for future growth. It wasn't a drop in replacement for reddit when the exodus happened and it isn't a drop in replacement now, but it's closer. There are still lots of little things- quality of life improvements, moderation improvements, discovery improvements, etc that need to be tuned or fixed before Lemmy is ready to shoulder millions of active users, but that doesn't mean it isn't worthy of the effort today.
The beautiful part of the fediverse is we're all free to form our own ideas about how it's best grown and supported. If there's something you are passionate about there's nothing stopping you or anyone else from spinning up a community or instance about it and creating the niche communities everyone seems to miss. It all takes time, and individual and group efforts.

At a certain point you don't need numbers, just eyeballs.
We are well beyond that point.
MBS can fuck right off with his bullshit. His constant meddling is a black eye on the sport.
One of my favorite matrix games is playing "guess where it thinks the unread marker should be."
I'm just as likely to be right as it is.
Blending with trees is my whole lifestyle.

Headline is a bit much but we live in a click bait world so I guess by that metric it could be worse. Anyways.
I think this was a particularly bitter pill for Lando because it's the second time he's been asked to not challenge for a win at McLaren. The last guy he followed team orders for fell out of F1 only to come back as a PR stunt, while Lando continued to grind through mediocrity with McLaren. Now Lando and McLaren are consistently challenging for wins and, in my opinion, some of that frustration came out last Sunday. The pit wall has not evolved with the rest of the team, and their mistakes are causing both drivers undue stress and frustration.
Gaffs aside, Lando could potentially be a 3 time race winner at McLaren but instead has a P1 and two team ordered P2 finishes behind a teammate. He seems like a very level headed person but I think it's fair to assume that would frustrate someone.
His last stint was a statement that he wants to challenge for victory no matter who leads, and I think that's fair. It sucked for everyone it had to play out so sloppily and publicly, but it was coming sooner or later. McLaren has to find a better balance of competitiveness and decision making. They have the car and the drivers, now it's the choices from the pit wall holding them back.
Edit: spelling
Yeah that's pretty much how I'd sum it up too.

This isn't unique to world or ml. There's some wonky shit going on with federating across Lemmy at the very least, maybe other parts of the fediverse that I don't use. On walledgarden there are at least half a dozen instances that are falling in and out of sync with our communities. No one on either side of the connection seems to have an answer for what caused this behavior or how to correct it. Talking to some other instances, we aren't alone.
The lemmyverse crawler/site has also shown some odd behavior with communities and instances disappearing and reappearing seemingly at random.
I don't think anything malicious is being done by any of the instances or admins in regards to federation delays.
