  • But that only helps in knowing which communities I can see, I still don’t know how much I’m missing out in the comments on other communities because some of them might be from people my instance has defederated.

    I noticed this today when I had a comment chain on lemmy.world that I accessed with my lemm.ee instance. That chain was >10 posts long with several different users from different instances.
    When I looked into that community with my feddit.de account, I could only see the first two comments of that chain, not even my own lemm.ee comments were visible despite not being blocked by feddit.de.
    It was because the third post of that chain was made by a user on an instance that is blocked by feddit.de and that lead to all following posts also missing.
    So now I’m feeling like I’m possibly missing big parts of all those comment sections just because they happen to include a comment from a user somewhere early in the chain that is on an instance which is blocked by my instance.

    That’s the reason despite me being german I probalby won’t use feddit.de anymore because, at least for the time being, lemm.ee doesn’t have anyone blocked so in this specific example I can at least see everything posted on lemmy.world that isn’t already blocked by lemmy.world itself(in which case I don’t miss out because no one could see these posts).
    While with feddit.de, browsing on lemmy.world I also won’t see things blocked by feddit.de that other users browing lemmy.world could see.


  • Reddit isn’t totally free of this problem (feature) either–You can have multiple subreddits dedicated to the same topic.

    True, but there you don’t have the problem that you can access subreddit “gamingB” but not “gamingA” because you happen to be logged in on an instance that defederated “gamingA”.

    You can just access all of the different subreddits with one account and freely choose on which on you’d like to post and always able to see every post ever made in every sub.

    With Lemmy as it is now, I don’t even know if the posts I see in a community on InstanceA are all posts because there might be posts that are made from people on InstanceB that is blocked by InstanceC that I’m accessing the community of InstanceA with.
    That’s my biggest concern right now.
