I’ve noticed this too, it’s not great lol.

You are really missing the forest here. I’m registered on a explicitly Marxist-Leninist instance, where I talk to like minded people. I might want to talk to them about Cats, and only them.
However, I’m subbed to a lot of other communities outside of my instance. My subs are synced with my instance and then show up in the All list on the instance for everyone to explore.
There is a instance explicitly for Starteck, startrek.website, it 3 communities. I’m subbed to their c/startrek and my instances c/startrek and both instances engage with startreks very differently.
This is the strength of Lemmy. It’s more likely that over time niche instances will become the norm, where the communities within them are centered around something (a ideology, a brand, a fandom), but because it’s federated everyone can connect with everyone if they wish.
Why can’t you maintain two accounts exactly? Also, lemmynsfw was having issues early on in their AI porn community where some very questionable stuff was being posted, requiring an explicit age rule to be implementing.
When you sub to a remote community that content is synced to your home instance. I wouldn’t touch NSFW content being federated to an instance I own either. Way to much of a liability. Especially since I would be at the mercy of the random users Im hosting.
This is a strength of Lemmy imo.
What are you on? So instances should have no say in regards to who they federate with? Also it sounds like you’re advocating for centralization… Why would we want that?
You’ll be happy with the new version then because it supports in app community links.
This is the right move I think.
Similar to the way nostr does verification: https://www.name.com/blog/how-to-get-nostr-verified-on-a-custom-domain
I’m in it for the long haul, the first federated service I’ve used that felt like a true replacement for it’s centralized counterpart.
What would forking do? The code has no ideology.
It’s not about making the user leave, because of they know they are banned they’ll try to evade. Shadow banning gives the desired effect while not tipping off the user. So they post away, to nobody.
Imagine doing something like this and not even being employed by Reddit. I can only imagine this is reddit admins doing.
Glad I got out when I did. Wish I could convince my employer to do the same.
