Two solutions that I see:

1. Mods and/or admins need to be notified when a post has a lot of upvotes from accounts on the same instance.
2. Generalize whitelists and requests to federate from new instances.

Well the “federated” feed is similar to /r/all, that’s a useful feature imo. The local feed has no equivalent because it relies on the concept of instance.

I just opened the app repeatedly after every crash. After like 10, 15 times, the app is working fine.

It seems to have become a habit that most good things about the internet is linked to the EU. I’m really grateful. That being said, I hope that Lemmy can become a collaborative project uniting a lot of devs rather than rely on two people.

About the scandal; as long as their opinions do not influence the platform I don’t see them as relevant to Lemmy. If they are illegal, let justice do its work.

I tried the fediverse with Mastodon to replace Twitter, but it didn’t work out. On Twitter, I was exclusively following accounts of personalities/organizations. As these accounts did not make the switch from Twitter to Mastodon, there was little use.

I feel like the fediverse works way better with content aggregation. I don’t really care who specifically is on Lemmy, as long as there is content and discussion. So far it’s been really nice.

I fully agree that it’s simpler to create an account on a centralized website.

In my understanding, your comments have to be stored on a server whatever the centralization. The fact that you can choose on which server they are stored is the decentralization.

On the producer side, Annapurna is a strong quality guarantee for me.
