Lemmy Needs to Fix Its Community Separation Problem (popcar.bearblog.dev)

I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Sure unless your instance is defederated, we need more ways to control the content without relying on defederation

It makes me feel like I should be making the post to multiple communities, but then I feel like I'm spamming

It does kinda suck being defederated from big instances like lemmy.ml because there are big communities there, but at the other end it's nice to have alternatives on different instances. For example, I can't view !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml but I can access !programmer_humor@programming.dev.

The PDev version is better anyway.

I have a few communities that are still on .ml, I forgot you guys were defederated, maybe I should move them elsewhere

Hopefully defederation will happen less and less with 19.X allowing users to block instances themselves

Yeah I think there needs to be more options though, for admins and for users. Like conditional caching or proxying of images from other instances.

And not just blocking instances but choosing to block all the users from an instance without blocking their communities, or only blocking their comments not their posts. Also admins should be able to set default blocks that all the users get but can change individually

That would be nice indeed, but with the development rhythm, it might take a while to get there. Sublinks on the other hands seems promising sublinks.org
