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
Worth keeping watch of this on their github to watch progress for it. Discussion has slowed down, but overall the devs seem intent to add it at some point
I want to move the communities I founded off of LW too.
