I think it would be cool if something like “meta-communities” existed. Fully adjustable, fully optional. Less duplicates.

You’d sub to one meta c/memes or c/news and see a combined feed of all known instance’s versions. Post to whichever you want, show up in the meta (if you want).

If you still want to block from the meta sub or individually sub to c/memes on ABC instance, you could do that. Moderation would be subject to the instance the user posted on, subject to broader instance admin’s defederations and stuff.

Idk just a quick idea. Decentralization is good, but a little bit of… aggregation like this could go a long way without actually centralizing power. Could help communities (big and small niche) to grow.

I’m just worried a lack of content discovery, (foss) algorithms, other features and consistent development will have an adverse effect on this new growth. I’m glad that Dan finally got the apps on the stores at a critical moment though or we wouldn’t even be here.

Biden and Kamala were both overly happy at their speeches. It’s unnerving.

Now? I wasn’t aware they ever didn’t.

I really hope this gets a proper foss “for you” algo. Personalized content and people discovery features are lacking on the fediverse.

Fyi you can still enable heuristic blocking from settings.
