The fact that you can defederate is actually one of the big, important points of... well, federation. Freedom of association.
As other commenter said, you are free to join feddit.de (and any other instance). They are independent instances, like different webpages. If the content is important to you, and it is not accessible from here, just join them!
But let's not blame federated networks since this is exactly one of their sellong points.
Lemmy is being sold as a Reddit alternative. I for one want it to succeed at that. A fractured Fediverse however won't be able to entice anyone not directly affected by Reddit's changes to join, for the same reason why separate forums weren't able to survive once Reddit got traction.
Saying stuff like "it's a good thing admins from one instance can cut you off from all communities hosted on that instance, if you have your account on the blocked instance" doesn't track.
That's a you problem.
