All of the persons involved with the Beehaw project decided to set it up this way.
So doesn't that mean that beehaw isn't acting as a federated instance of lemmy but rather a walled garden?
I guess my second question is, is it possible to migrate to another instance in the same way you can do on mastodon?
No. We are not preventing users from accessing the fediverse or the Internet as a whole.
I'm, fairly, certain that the answer is no.
When i first joined beehaw i had a similar question as you, but slowly i started accessing lemmy communities from across the lemmyverse from here and realized im okay with how things are. If i wish to create a community of my own i might join another server like mander.xyz and do so.
I like the approach - keeps the instance focused, gives it direction and prevents a ton of empty abandoned communities popping up.
