I ask again, with what information? Just having a network means squat, unless some has downloaded and stored all this information. And who’s paying for the harddrives and power requirements? Maintenance? Security?

You’re honestly selling a dream, even if the netowrk exists that it’s useable enmasse, where is the information coming from? How’s it being stored for everyone else to access? What you have in your city, won’t be in mine. How do you transfer the data between cities?

It’s a great imaginary thing though.

why, who is paying for the fediverse? and how does information appear on it?

not all information has to be stored inside these small distributed networks. a lemmy running on it could communicate with other fediverse servers still on the public internet. or with those running on the I2P network, or with those accessible some other way.

and how does information appear on it?

From external sources… which is what would be censored. Follow the chain, it’s about a specific scenario. Hardly any of the Fediverse is locally stored other than the comments, it’s mostly news links. Which would be blocked….

And how does Lemmy communicate with another server if there’s no connection? You’re ignoring how the system is being censored or limited. Yes if none of these were issues or a concern, you could use a mesh network for stuff. But that’s no what was asked.
