Given the approach/philosophy of Beehaw, I'm kind of confused and surprised by the choice of Lemmy for building this community space. Not that I disagree with it, but it undeniably complicates administration/moderation in a variety of ways thanks to federation (as has become apparent with new Lemmy instances & the population surge) and its modest development only compounds those complications through lack of sufficient tools.

Was this something of a hindsight is 20/20 situation, wherein with more consideration, something else may have been adopted? Or has it been banking on some optimism in federated communities becoming the new norm?

I've read over some of the philosophy/thinking posts regarding Beehaw, but so far as I recall this technical choice wasn't a focal point in them. Sorry if I overlooked some explanations, though!

For what it's worth, unless the mod tools truly never get there, I think you made the right choice! I really like the reddit style of social media, this sort of hybrid between old discussion boards and more modern social media. And I'm very grateful that there's at least one kind community on this platform ♥️
