I disagree. Especially on coms where one needs answers. But I want to support smaller instances.

The whole point of lemmy is decentralization. Not being run off by bad mods. I agree that a lot of big instances have rude admins and mods but this idea is for similar communities with similar modding. If the mods agree then what’s the issue? A lot of big instances communities have the exact same mods anyways.

An example for my use case is I want to support slrpnk and post on their selfhosting com but I don’t want only 1 answer. Federating my post to all three big selfhosting communities would allow more interaction while still being decentralized in the sense of not instance dependent.

Exciting! I’ll try to get my piefed running again then

I mean this as a kind gesture, I think you should seek therapy. A lot of your question posts are quite out there and don’t seem very healthy. I know therapy helped me! :)

I will comment on one point in your post because I think it’s worth saying. Everything is political, so not caring only really shows your own privilege. But on the other hand it’s easy to get overwhelmed but the state of the world especially in the US and be exhausted from consuming depressing political news. There must be a healthy middle ground between knowing what’s right and moral and not allowing it to cause your inner world to become a mess.

I and probably most online leftist certainly struggle with this.

This is great but I still don’t think it fixed the issue that both softwares have, what do you do about wanting to share the same content between multiple same named communities without spamming?

I still really like the idea that communities can choose to federate with each other. You post to privacy at ML and LW and it shows as one post in both communities.

Send it to your parents and work is what I do :)

NFT is a big red flag. Isn’t IPFS practically dead and only runs through one gateway so it very much can is and centralized

I use Navidrome and Jellyfin.
