  • I’m using wefwef and I switched back and forth between wefwef, memmy and mlem.
    Here are some things I considered:

    • Inline images are shown in posts(instead of linked to at the end): mlem, wefwef
    • Opening images and zooming them: memmy, wefwef
    • saving images: memmy (Edit: wefwef too since on of the latest updates)
    • Adjustable text size: memmy, wefwef
    • compact view is actually compact: wefwef, mlem (Edit: memmy too since the latest update)
    • jumping to comments from your inbox: wefwef , Memmy(kind of, it jumps to the comment chain, but not highlights the comment)
    • edit comments: wefwef, memmy

    As you can see, wefwef is present in all of these ^^ jumping to comment is a pretty big one for me, aswell as the inline images


  • But it does.
    Example: You’re on lemmy.world. Let’s say lemmy.world defederates lemmy.ml today.

    Now you won’t be able to see any new posts made by users of lemmy.ml, be it on lemmy.ml itself or on any other instance. You will still see everything that was posted up until the defederation though because defederation just means that your instance won’t request new copies of the content of lemmy.ml .
    And they also can’t post stuff on comunities of lemmy.world(I believe they technically could do that, just that nobody could see it, but it may be that by now it’s entirely blocked to even make a post there).

    Now as long as lemmy.ml doesn’t defederate lemmy.world too, their users will still be able to see your comments and may also reply to your comments on other instances, but you won’t see that.

    So defederation mainly serves two purposes for the users of the instance that defederates another instance:

    1. Their users won’t see any content from comunities of those instances in their “all” feed and also won’t see any posts from users of that instance in the comment sections of any comunity of any instance.
    2. Users of those instance won’t be able to post on their instance.





  • The biggest issue I have with defederating is that you basically exclude every member of that instance from discussion on other instances even when they keep their nsfw post completely within their own instance.

    If I’m on Instance A that defederated Instance B because it’s NSFW friendly, then I also can’t see comments from members of Instance B in completely unrelated comunities on other Instances.

    Show users that the community they try to interact with is on a server that defederated the users instance

    Not only that, also show users when comments in any community are made by users from an instance that your instance defederated.

    Because you(instance A) may very well only be able to see half of the comments in a thread of a community of instance B because half of them were made by users of instance C which instance A defederated.

    Right now the comments just don’t get copied to your instance at all, which also leads to followup comments not being visible even if they are not from defederated instances.
    Instead I’d like everything to be copied and then flagged based on defederations. Just don’t show the original content and instead show a hint that a comment can’t be seen because of defederation would be enough.
    At least that way we know that we’re missing something.

    Because simply not showing it also leads to confusion why you see less comments than other users on another instance.

    And this goes both ways. The user from the other instance(who can still see your comment because his instance didn’t defederate yours) should also see that I’m from an instance that defederated his instance directly by looking at my post before commenting, maybe in form of a symbol or a note next to my username, so that he knows it doesn’t make any sense to comment on my post.


  • Pretty much the same for me. When looking at the 33K milestone post on lemmy.world directly on lemmy.world, I see 106 comments. When viewing it from lemm.ee I see 79, from Feddit it’s 76.
    What’s funny is that from Kbin, the only site that actually shows a warning that the content may be incomplete, I can see 100 comments so from all sites that are not lemmy.world, Kbin shows the most comments. And the ratio stayed mostly the same since yesterday, usually it took ~2h for a new post on lemmy.world to appear on Feddit, Feddit actually had 3 comments more than lemm.ee yesterday^^
