Feeds don’t really completely solve fragmentation, as comments are still attached to a single community, and you don’t see them in a single view.
To completely solve fragmentation, you need a consolidated view of comments as well
https://piefed.zip/post/100161
All comments from 5 crossposts in a single view
Exactly, it has feeds (so what your describe), that can be private or public
Seems like it’s back to normal https://reddthat.com/post/44840488
The Piefed web UI is similar to Lemmy. As usual, people have options
Piefed has more granular notifications. Voyager is also recently supported
Have you tried the “New comments” sort?
Being able to search in a community is already a good improvement
even better between Lemmy & PieFed.
It already works between Lemmy and Piefed
I’m surprised they’re still around. That’s some dedication for a platform they say they despise
Probably a good article to share to people skeptical about the resiliency of the Threadiverse
I tagged you there
I don’t remember to be honest
lemm.ee told you the reason they were shutting down - not enough people to keep the place running and burnout. I can’t force you to see how minimizing and distributing responsibility helps those issues if you don’t want to. Less responsibility, easier for people not to ditch projects or end them.
Lemm.ee had the option to close their registration at any time. But registrations are only one source of user management.
In a scenario where Lemm.ee would have become a content instance, but kept their federation policy, they would still have received all the reports about posts on the communities they hosted, wherever the reported user comes from.
Lemm.ee was the instance with the most active communities after LW, there’s no way to avoid a certain level of responsibility.
link to instance, but visit only if you are completely degenerate
Thank you for the warning, looks like 4chan indeed
If admins goes missing like the feddit.de ones did, the same problem would still impact that instance, be it a user or a content instance
If admins just want to shutdown without willing to transfer the instance / domain like the lemm.ee ones did, the same problem would still impact that instance, be it a user or a content instance
Using instances with non profit like https://fedecan.ca/en/ (lemmy.ca and piefed.ca) seems a better way to mitigate that risk.
I addressed a few of your points in the parallel thread with @Ferk@lemmy.ml (actually, it seems like you read it as you commented below)
As I stated in one of the comments
At that point, the content instances would be merely storage. This model is already possible now, but the vast majority of instances host both users and content, because it is more interesting to have users to build a local community than just being a storage server.
If some admins were interested in only being storage servers, you would see more instances not allowing user registrations, but all the 35th most active instances allow them: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
I had a second look, and instances not allowing sign up are either going to shutdown (lemmy.one) are false positives (https://bookwormstory.social/signup) or are single-person instances:
Your vision is possible now, but it seems like almost no one wants to implement it.
Indeed !
