  • But it does.
    Example: You’re on lemmy.world. Let’s say lemmy.world defederates lemmy.ml today.

    Now you won’t be able to see any new posts made by users of lemmy.ml, be it on lemmy.ml itself or on any other instance. You will still see everything that was posted up until the defederation though because defederation just means that your instance won’t request new copies of the content of lemmy.ml .
    And they also can’t post stuff on comunities of lemmy.world(I believe they technically could do that, just that nobody could see it, but it may be that by now it’s entirely blocked to even make a post there).

    Now as long as lemmy.ml doesn’t defederate lemmy.world too, their users will still be able to see your comments and may also reply to your comments on other instances, but you won’t see that.

    So defederation mainly serves two purposes for the users of the instance that defederates another instance:

    1. Their users won’t see any content from comunities of those instances in their “all” feed and also won’t see any posts from users of that instance in the comment sections of any comunity of any instance.
    2. Users of those instance won’t be able to post on their instance.





  • I had a Sony Xperia Z3 which had its charging port and sim tray covered by small pieces attached to the case that had rubber on them so you could open it and use the port and then seal it again. It also had a magnetic charging port that didn’t need water protection.
    But iirc, it was said that the waterproof rating was only true as long as you didn’t use these pieces^^

    I can think of a design where the battery just sits tight against the top part of the smartphone and you could remove the bottom part with 2 screws (whichs holes aren’t open to the inside of the phone) to spring it out like an SD-Card. That bottom part would just need to have rubber on the inside edges



  • Posting would work just as it works now, the difference is how easy you can view the different communities. The idea is that it’s just like if you were for example just subscribed to different tech communities from other instances. Now you can switch your view to subscribed to only see all those tech threads.

    The problem is when you are subscribed to more than just those tech communities, you can’t filter your view so that you still only have those tech communities on your page.

    Multi-subreddits would do just that. You could group different communities together and view them as you view your subscribed list, only now you can have multiple of those lists with different communities in them



  • Eventually people will be able to go to the search bar, type “technology” and just click the top result which will be by far the most active

    Well that wouldn’t be true for someone that is on an instance that is defederated from the most active one, and even if that’s not the case, I would only see posts in there from people that are not part of instances that are defederated by my instance. So depending on which instance I am, I’ll see more or fewer posts on these comunities.

    That’s the major problem I see right now and for which I don’t see any other solution than everyone creating and running their own instance for themselfes to be able to see everything.
