No. Just no. If you prefer having single points of failure - either stick to Reddit or spin up a private unfederated Lemmy instance.
Sorry i didn’t explain myself very well.
By central server i meant a pinning service, but that could even be hosted by the already existent fediverse istances.
I’ll paste one answer i added below:
I meant sharding. that’s what IPFS is about, the files on it are sharded between different computers accross all over the world that request the specific resource. When you ask through ipfs for a resource, it would perform a lookup and see if that’s available and in which node, then serve it to the client and cache it on its node. Content can be pinned to specific nodes in order not to be deleted through garbage collection, and that was what i was meaning by “central server”, there are services (like Pinata) doing just that: pinning content on fast servers and making it readily available. But i guess those nodes can also be the current fediverse istances, i had a central server in mind more due to that and because of the fact that smaller servers (available to the little associations that host fediverse istances) couldn’t probably keep up with something like sharding right now, but i don’t really know.
