Lemmy is federated, but still, the instances with the most activity dominate people's feeds

Instances with funding sources will have the best hardware capable of supporting the largest communities, and will have the most activity, but then aren't people's feeds still influenced by capital, like with reddit, in the end?

But with Reddit there is no alternative. Use your capital to push people in too far of a direction and they’ll leave to other instances.

Unless all of the other instances defederate it, people will still see the content in their feeds.

If the content is low quality, other servers may choose to de-federate with them. And there is nothing forcing individual members to subscribe to the communities of those corporate instances.
