lol I’m trying to follow along with all your comments but it just feels like you’re trying to recreate reddit but with some type of block-chain servers handling the load instead of centralized servers.
Like, I get it. When you break it down, what’s the difference between reddit and Lemmy? You don’t like c/Games@lemmy.world, you can make c/Games@sh.itdoesnt.work. On reddit if you don’t like r/games, you can make r/games! or some other bullshit.
Only 2 big differences for me is 1. the hope that just having different instances gets people away from the “Main Hub” communities, 2. multiple instances means less chance of corporation enshittification. Your solution would just promote the eventual lose of both of the reasons I’m on Lemmy to begin with.
I do heavily encourage cross-posting though. Would love some sort of “tag” or something where it’s easier to cross-post to all of the communities that opt-in to be tagged in that category. Could have it so you can filter multi-posts using this feature so you’re not blanketed with the post if you’re subscribed to multiple communities in that category (could even choose a default like only the one with the most comments or your most active community gets highlighted while blocking all the rest, while still having the links in the post like how crosspost currently displays).
It’s not so much recreating reddit, as it is realizing that the content is the important part, not what server holds it. I want centralized content, because that’s how you get critical mass for communities to flourish. Decentralizing the ownership and hosting is where the federation benefits are anyway.
