Ngl, you had me in the opening paragraphs. :) Happy to hear you're not opening the door to this trojan horse. Thank you for keeping such a nice instance!

That's true. I mean, you have to consider beehaw is a bit unusual, most instances federate with all other non-extremist ones. The typical experience with Lemmy is being able to go to one spot, your instance, and pull content from all over. But yeah, defederation is always a risk the design allows for. The best we can do as users is try and pick an instance that seems unlikely to do that.
I don't think the fediverse paradigm moves away from that, on the contrary. We still have a single landing point, our home instance. Except now it even pulls content from 3rd party servers all over the internet. If you were interested in reddit, hacker news and tildes, you'd have to check out each one separately, and use a separate app for each one. With lemmy, kbin, mastodon, pixelfed, etc, you can use one app and one account to follow all of them. We just have to work a lot on the UX of in-app discoverability, which really has a looong way to go.
That's a nice problem to have, in my kitchen the only option is to "align stuffed to the brim"
And that's why there will never be a Lemmy client that satisfies everyone completely
It's a bug in Lemmy 0.18.0. You can get around it by clicking the green link with the community name in the sidebar, then the subscribe button will become normal and clickable again.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
They just shipped it minutes ago! Second release in less than 24h lol
I clearly remember when I first got broadband installed, yes faster downloads were nice and all, but what I really cared about at that point was that sweet release from the tiranny of the freaking phone line. Not ever having to worry again about people wanting you to disconnect because they want to use the phone. Connected 24/7, baby! What a revolution, lol
Same here. I'd move the community link inside too.
I'm so glad they're unwavering in their commitment to foster growth of the fediverse!
Now that @QuentinCallaghan upgraded to 0.18.1 the problem seems to be gone. Thanks Quentin!
