The entire point of federated social media is that you can swap instances if you don't agree with policies. That's the whole point of Lemmy!

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

The liftoff app has the ability to show multiple accounts across multiple instances.
Also... Lemmy.world has/will become the default at this point in time. When you eventually get big enough you even up having to cater for the "laws".
Are they defederating from instances that are neutral as well? Or defed'ing from the privacy instances?
It's deeply unfortunate it's essentially made itself the "default"
It's not the first instance that has done something because of legal concerns about content from other instances. Many have already defederated from lemmynsfw.com because of that.
If you defederate from porn because of legal reasons you might as well be a private instance. Porn is allowed in every country bar a few on earth, and users even have the ability to turn off all NSFW content via their profile. Adult content is the easiest to solve for.
But that is just porn and I understand your point. At the end of the day, any instance is allowed to connect with whomever they want. Regardless of reasoning.
We had a few communities on Reddthat that were blocked on an instance level by hacking the database. After it subscribes between two instances you remove the db connection and it tricks Lemmy and doesn't re-subscribe.
Within a month, third party applications will have multi account auto creation features with syncing of community subscriptions or abilities to connect directly into the communities that are siloed.
There should be an option to see all posts on our feed from all our instances. Then when commenting choose the instance from which the comment has to be posted.
This needs to be done carefully. At the extreme you're asking every instance for a list of posts from all instances. It could become something like a DOS. Having just a few accounts should be fine though. Or just asking one instance for "all" and others for "local".
Maybe a digital signature of some kind to copy and paste from one account to another, or account to account import/export of the subscribe list.
If I was logged into several instances at once...without me having to leave it or change instances.
So you're working around having to change instances by changing instances? Am I missing something?
I think they're suggesting an aggregate feed from some number of concurrently logged in users.
Banning piracy? Like the mere encouragement or?
That instance is fast becoming moderated as just as much of a neoliberal authoritarian shithole as r/politics was 🤦
Banning piracy? Like the mere encouragement or?
Just the mere encouragement & discussion, yes. The banned communities do not allow direct links to pirated content (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com has a rule forbidding that).
It's strange to see people saying there was some sort of legit reasoning, the lemmy.world admins did not receive any sort of legal DMCA/NTD request or anything of the sort. They were simply trolled hard by a brand new account from lemm.ee asking to defederate from "piracy" communities and lemmy.world admins took the bait. See the post yourself https://lemmy.world/post/3175920
Incidentally that same user has created troll accounts at other instances & have been getting themselves banned, they were already banned at the dbzer0 instance (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1956277) so it looks like it was simple retaliation to attempt to trick other instances into defederating/blocking them.
What an asshole! 🤬🤦
neoliberal authoritarian shithole
Meanwhile the admin not wanting to deal with the inevitable legal trouble: T_T
Yeah, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. I wouldn't be surprised if the admin got a few scary letters from several letter agencies.
Inevitable legal trouble my ass! It was a troll invoking a counterfactual version of reality to trick the admins into being his instrument of petty revenge for being banned
Dude, Nintendo used to strike people on YouTube for just playing their games. Some authorities question why you would share a link to a game you are playing without marking your content as sponsored. Do you reall think providing a forum for piracy will stay without consequences for even a year?
Maybe if you live in the right country or hide your identity really well.
.world never profided a forum though, that's a ridiculous strawman. By not blocking, they’re not hosting piracy any more than being able to find The Pirate Bay with a Google search makes Google a torrent site.
All you're so cute thinking money doesn't matter...
Google 100+ billion dollar company with lobbyists out the ass.

ROFL
I don't think it has to do with ideologies but more like the admins can't afford a fight against the very same people you're talking about.
Meh. That’s not really how it works though. If pirated content is not actually spread on the platform nothing illegal is happening, and regardless, long before any fight was going to happen there would have been takedown request.
Sure, but why risk it when this is essentially a volunteer project?
I'm not saying they're right. I'm just saying I understand their concerns. Others don't care and allow piracy content just fine.
They banned piracy from lemmy.ml and dbzer0.com and also shrooms and other subs. They strive to be the aww emporium, it seems.
Jerboa is fairly simple in terms of its the instance that does the majority of heavy lifting.
What you're asking for could be solved in Jerboa with some work, or you could host your own instance and get what you need now without community effort.
The only thing I really want from Jerboa is a notification when any of my accounts has a reply/message.
Same...
How can one do that?
At the moment, I don't know of any client that allows this, that's why I'm floating the idea where Jerboa people can see it.
Either I don't understand what you mean, or you're not aware that other clients can indeed do this, like Liftoff.
Thank you, haven't tried Liftoff, will now.
Niche communities should be on niche instances and users should join smaller instances that federate with their interests.
This is why you don't join the popular instance. Eventually the shitbirds ruin it.
