Federation isn't something that can be added later. This has to be part of the protocol from the start.
I thought Lemmy started without federation?
It started as a Fediverse-based alternative to Reddit, so it was designed with federation in mind from the start.
Anything "can" be added later... as for the effort required, that's a separate matter.
I also wonder why they didn't use Matrix from the start. Right now, with group chats, spaces, threads, and audio/video streaming, bridges, bots, etc. while allowing E2EE, Matrix already seems to be better than Discord.
