  • Isn’t it also the case that each instance gets updates from all others? So in this case, lemmy.world’s access to beehaw communities might lack user@beehaw.org activity and beehaw’s access lacks user@lemmy.world activity?

    But I also believe lemmy.world can see old beehaw stuff from before the defed, so that could play a role. I’m really just trying to wrap my head around all the network effects and repercussions, its confusing as hell.

    Edit: There’s this comment that explains things pretty well, in case anyone is curious: https://lemmy.world/comment/205763 – sounds like all updates go to and eventually come from the instance holding a community, so if you’re defederated from them, you only see federated cross-posts in a sense. At that point I think there are different comment sections altogether.

    I’m 110% sure I’m still misunderstanding something, for what it’s worth lmao



  • A lot of the discussion around sorting specifics makes me wonder if a plugin-like system for user created sorting algorithms would be useful.

    It could allow you to curate your own feed in a way, based on age, activity, filters, basically any post metadata. The algorithms could be shared or maybe even federated through lemmy itself. I have a suspicion this would be closer to “neat” than “worth it” though. This is really just a brain dump of a random idea.
