It would work but I personally don’t think hosting a personal instance for the fediverse is that practical/safe given how dumb and harsh laws can be, when you don’t have an army of lawyers/strong public support

yeah, looking at the federation systems it supports is insane and I really want to try it out honestly
from Wikipedia:
Friendica users can connect with others via their own Friendica server, but may also fully integrate contacts from other platforms including Diaspora, Pump.io, GNU social, email, Discourse[9] and more recently ActivityPub (including Mastodon, Pleroma and Pixelfed) and Bluesky[10][11] into their ‘newsfeed’. In addition to these two way connections, users can also use Friendica as a publishing platform to post content to WordPress, Tumblr, Insanejournal[12] and Libertree. Posting to Google+ was also supported until that service was shut down. In addition, RSS feeds can be ingested.[13] Because users are distributed across many servers, their “addresses” consist of a username, the “@” symbol, and the domain name of the Friendica instance in the same manner email addresses are formed. Twitter support was available but was deprecated due to API changes under Elon Musk’s leadership rendering it unusable.
yeah political circlejerks are annoying whichever side of the political spectrum it’s on tbh
circlejerks for the software freedom spectrum however…
you can’t have decentralisation without federation, also iirc there’s problems with bluesky’s federation architecture so there’s syncing issues between instances
it shouldn’t have to be the responsibility of the admins to do this though
very much agree with the post about the politics lacking nuance, but I think it’s a problem with social media in general
the communities/echo chambers that form around instances probably amplify that though
genz here too, lemmy ui with the thumbnail (if explicitly posted, not auto generated from an article) full screen size by default would be the best of both worlds
I’ve used lemmy exclusively for almost 1.5 years and I still think the duplicate communities thing could be better, lemmy is small so we might as well maximise the amount of content accessible.
I don’t want all of them to merge, I just think it should be easier for people to subscribe to all of the communities about similar topics
so all the windows are open?
something like this:
https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps
but for lemmy would be nice
it’d basically solve the issue of duplicate communities too
shit has the same or better level of infrastructure for a smaller user base
ngl one of the animals of all time, corvids and Australian magpies are so cool and underrated
the fuse popped, right?
The Rot
I don’t get the hate against the lemmy devs tbh, they have their (perhaps controversial) political views but they leave everyone that’s not on their site alone and it feels like they develop lemmy pretty impartially
sure they might ban you off ml but that’s their site and they get to do whatever they want with it, just like every other instance
i mean network effect is a thing i guess but that’s not as important on lemmy where there are usually similarly large communities about generic things on most major instances
don’t let them change the meaning of our words then

helix superiority however.
is opus the one that allows high quality mic and headphone at the same time over Bluetooth?
