If I was logged into several instances at once in the client and seeing the composite feed and then could choose instance when replying or posting (with some set default, like from: field in e-mail clients) lemmy.world could ban piracy all it wants and it’d still be in my feed without me having to leave it or change instances.
The entire point of federated social media is that you can swap instances if you don’t agree with policies. That’s the whole point of Lemmy!
All lemmy needs is to allow us to export/import our sub and block lists to make it easy tbh. Then it’ll be purrfect.
yeah I’d say user management across instances is the biggest flaw in the fediverse right now. Mastadon has made decent progress in that area, but it’s still imperfect.
A lot of the benefits of federation are weakened by the fact that it’s a pretty huge PITA to change instances
I want to move the communities I founded off of LW too.
There should be an option to see all posts on our feed from all our instances. Then when commenting choose the instance from which the comment has to be posted.
This needs to be done carefully. At the extreme you’re asking every instance for a list of posts from all instances. It could become something like a DOS. Having just a few accounts should be fine though. Or just asking one instance for “all” and others for “local”.
If I was logged into several instances at once…without me having to leave it or change instances.
So you’re working around having to change instances by changing instances? Am I missing something?
I think they’re suggesting an aggregate feed from some number of concurrently logged in users.
Banning piracy? Like the mere encouragement or?
That instance is fast becoming moderated as just as much of a neoliberal authoritarian shithole as r/politics was 🤦

The irony bring that Reddit itself doesn’t ban piracy related stuff as long as you don’t outright post links publicly… It’s a shitty kind of platform to do that anyway.
I mean they have a legal team. Joe Shmo doesn’t.
Are you going to spin up a server then?
If they don’t want any chance of facing legal actions then they should just shut down the instance.
What a brilliant advice :/

I am not asking you to stop using lemmy.world. It’s their instance, they can do whatever they want. I was replying to the above comment that the Instance owners don’t want any chance of getting sued. As long as they have an Instance in the Fediverse, there will always be a chance of getting sued.
But it is perfectly normal to try to lower the risk of getting sued, even if the chance will never be zero.
Banning piracy? Like the mere encouragement or?
Just the mere encouragement & discussion, yes. The banned communities do not allow direct links to pirated content (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com has a rule forbidding that).
It’s strange to see people saying there was some sort of legit reasoning, the lemmy.world admins did not receive any sort of legal DMCA/NTD request or anything of the sort. They were simply trolled hard by a brand new account from lemm.ee asking to defederate from “piracy” communities and lemmy.world admins took the bait. See the post yourself https://lemmy.world/post/3175920
Incidentally that same user has created troll accounts at other instances & have been getting themselves banned, they were already banned at the dbzer0 instance (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1956277) so it looks like it was simple retaliation to attempt to trick other instances into defederating/blocking them.
What an asshole! 🤬🤦
neoliberal authoritarian shithole
Meanwhile the admin not wanting to deal with the inevitable legal trouble: T_T
Yeah, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. I wouldn’t be surprised if the admin got a few scary letters from several letter agencies.
Inevitable legal trouble my ass! It was a troll invoking a counterfactual version of reality to trick the admins into being his instrument of petty revenge for being banned
Dude, Nintendo used to strike people on YouTube for just playing their games. Some authorities question why you would share a link to a game you are playing without marking your content as sponsored. Do you reall think providing a forum for piracy will stay without consequences for even a year?
Maybe if you live in the right country or hide your identity really well.
.world never profided a forum though, that’s a ridiculous strawman. By not blocking, they’re not hosting piracy any more than being able to find The Pirate Bay with a Google search makes Google a torrent site.
All you’re so cute thinking money doesn’t matter…
Google 100+ billion dollar company with lobbyists out the ass.
Lemme World
ROFL
I don’t think it has to do with ideologies but more like the admins can’t afford a fight against the very same people you’re talking about.
Meh. That’s not really how it works though. If pirated content is not actually spread on the platform nothing illegal is happening, and regardless, long before any fight was going to happen there would have been takedown request.
Sure, but why risk it when this is essentially a volunteer project?
I’m not saying they’re right. I’m just saying I understand their concerns. Others don’t care and allow piracy content just fine.
They banned piracy from lemmy.ml and dbzer0.com and also shrooms and other subs. They strive to be the aww emporium, it seems.
Stupid comment. Far from it.
Jerboa is fairly simple in terms of its the instance that does the majority of heavy lifting.
What you’re asking for could be solved in Jerboa with some work, or you could host your own instance and get what you need now without community effort.
The only thing I really want from Jerboa is a notification when any of my accounts has a reply/message.
Same…
How can one do that?
At the moment, I don’t know of any client that allows this, that’s why I’m floating the idea where Jerboa people can see it.
Either I don’t understand what you mean, or you’re not aware that other clients can indeed do this, like Liftoff.
Thank you, haven’t tried Liftoff, will now.
Niche communities should be on niche instances and users should join smaller instances that federate with their interests.
This kind of defeats the purpose of federation, no? The point is, I thought, that it didn’t really matter which instance you joined.
It doesn’t, but it doesn’t mean organisation and thus increased discoverability are a bad thing

Eh! Why would you be on lots of accounts
Moving away from it is for the best. It makes the fediverse healthier.
The only way to guarantee you can see exactly what you want, without being at the mercy of anyone else, is to run your own instance.
ITT: Entitled twats getting grumpy that a private service won’t host their discussion about stealing content they’re definitely entitled to.
