Or just use the web front end, which really does it all anyway.

I’m new here and not up on the history, but I have a couple of questions:

1. When an instance defederates, does it disconnect from all other instances? Or can the administrators choose which other instances they no longer want to sync up with?

2. In the case of content remaining on my local instance that originated on another instance that has since defederated, would I be able to tell? Would it be possible for Lemmy to add a visual indicator that this content had become disconnected from its originating instance?

Finding and subscribing to communities on other instances is not slick enough. I hope it improves. It would be nice if people could discover and subscribe to communities without even having to think about which instance they are on.

Other than that, everything seems very straightforward.

I only just started with Lemmy, but the only thing I’ve noticed that needs improvement is discovering and subscribing to communities. This business of searching in a second browser window for communities other instances and then copying the URL into your own instance’s search box is way too clunky. Lemmy needs a way for each instance to carry metadata about the other instances’ communities so you can subscribe to them just by searching for their names and pressing a button.

The mobile browser experience in Lemmy is so much better than Reddit. I’m pleased there’s no need for an app, because it works fine in the browser.

It has been that way for a while. Anything where you have to confirm you’re over 18 will not display unless you’re logged in.
