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

    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”.

    So you’re working around having to change instances by changing instances? Am I missing something?

    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.

        If they don’t want any chance of facing legal actions then they should just shut down the instance.

            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.

      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.

    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.

    Niche communities should be on niche instances and users should join smaller instances that federate with their interests.
