Yeah, the defederation metaphor falls apart as you described because subscriptions to communities requires two way communication, which isn't going to happen because beehaw isn't going to acknowledge subscription requests from instances it's blocked. Instances blocked by beehaw would probably have to do the same type of thing Threads or Mastodon users would have to do to bring in Lemmy content by manually bringing it in via searching the federation link.

An app for browsing Reddit...
They did answer your question. Based off what they told you, one can reasonably assume Sync for Lemmy will be to Lemmy as Sync for Reddit was to Reddit...
I'm honestly trying to figure out how the hell Meta is going to make money on this venture. The genie is out of the bottle for the Fediverse. If they try to show ads on Threads, people will presumably just get an account on a Mastodon instance and follow who they want from Threads...
Are you installing from scratch, docker, or Ansible? I know in Ansible the default nginx config has been wrong for a week or so, but just got fixed this morning.
Ruud is one of the more qualified system administrators in this space technically speaking. He and a few other knowledgeable instance admins are having to invent solutions as they go because the biggest server was like 1/100 of the size of lemmy.world a month ago and Lemmy has not been optimized for this yet.
That's definitely on the radar. Same for Android. There's some jank to clean up to ensure that it will be as smooth as it ought to be.
Presumably they mean breaking css changes with lemmy-ui.
It's the wrong way to go about it, though. Just tax businesses' profits and close the bullshit loopholes they exploit to avoid paying them.
That... Is actually a really good question. I'm going to look into it.
Make sure you're on the latest version:
Actually, I see that option isn't available in the home screen post 3-dot menu, so I'll look into that and see if it was intentional.
Let's Encrypt is one of the best things to ever happen to the Internet. It used to be a pain in the ass and take days to get certificates for domains and set them up on a server and now you can buy a domain and deploy a functional and secure website within 15 minutes. Lowering the barrier to entry for https was a game changer. I appreciate their clear communication about their timeline for changing their signing chain. If anyone is still using an 8 year old Android phone, it's probably time for an upgrade anyway
