I’m inclined to say screw Reddit. Lemmy may be less private overall but at least we have more control over things in the Fedi.
How is it "less" private? Because the API isn't a paywall, sure. But... I don't know what's your perspective, really.
Probably along the lines of federated user activity, so things like upvotes/downvotes etc and subscriptions to a community being federated to the relevant server(s)
So even if you're lurking just voting on content, someone could setup a lemmy server, sub to a bunch of communities, and theoretically look at incoming activitypub updates from those communities for your activity I think
I don't think it sends info about subscriptions and voter identities to other servers, or am I wrong?
You up voted "how did "step" porn become so popular when we did such a good job keeping scat and insest porn out of the mainstream for so long" and "I didn't forget your birthday either."
And down voted "seamless seeking"
I can say you're not subscribed to the like two communities on my instance. Subscription (follows) mostly only go to the instance hosting the community in question. Voting goes everywhere though.
I tried to look more into this and I guess that everything goes out identifiable in some way.
I looked up what that post is, and it ain't downvoted. Might have accidentally hit it, and then un-disliked, without that getting federated.
Oh yes, that's an issue with Lemmy. Edits don't get federated, they stay on the instance. I didn't knew but it makes sense that it's the same with votes.
I believe the issue is that to keep every updated you'd need a far more complex system, like streaming the changes or CRDTs.
Nice
