The people who don't want to stick with Lemmy are the people we don't want on Lemmy.
I see this as a win.

Give it time.
It's because when you go to /c/books , the default view is not every /c/books on every server. But one /c/books on one server. Therefore Lemmy is doomed and the dev refuse by principle to fix it.
what do you mean refuse by principle to fix it? the solution that comes to mind is for a whitelist that is implemented either in federation broadly or lemmy specifically for certain categories (think TLDs) which are agreed to have a certain focus, like on literature or video games or music, where the instances themselves can join or link to.
kinda bypass a community being held hostage (or kept isolated) by an instance, the whitelists can be determined through a simple majority (first past the post) or any other method by members of communities rather than instance moderators/admins.
i get that many folks don't like hexbear and i have nothing against them, i certainly don't want to force them to see content they don't want; giving granular control over specific content (not just a blacklist like per-user instance blocking) seems ideal.
what do you think?

There is no way in the fucking world someone is going to ask me to feel bad about a social media platform failing in 2023. Like, get fucked.
“Newl and ~~active~~ “currently arguing” should be the only sorting options. New promotes activity and the other is entertaining.
