It should show the user an instance based on their IP, location, browser language etc. and perhaps the list of possible instances should be hardcoded.

Then also give the user the ability to see all servers.

I don’t see why not, but would it work in practice with federation?

What is it?

What entails a local/regional server? My server is hosted in Denmark, but doesn’t “advertise” itself as Danish.

Also you might wanna add Faroe Islands under Denmark.

Shouldn’t this be up to the mods of a community and not votes, which can be manipulated or misused?

Yea, it embeds directly into Lemmy. At least the browser version does.

Peertube. https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115

It should choose a general instance, based on region and if not possible to pinpoint by IP, it should be a curated list of instances of which it just chooses one by random.

So you don’t want to contribute to the Lemmy project, because other instances might benefit from it?

No, but it is possible to follow a PeerTube channel.

Are you sure you can follow Lemmy users from Mastodon? Is it not only communities that you can follow from Mastodon?

Last I heard is that they are testing 0.19 on Lemmy.ml.

There’s no interface for it, but the emails can be extracted from the database, no doubt.

Password reset and notifications.

It would need to be accessible from the outside and you can use Cloudflare Tunnel to make that connection.

Have federation happen on the instance level. What I mean is, the admin should be able to federate with the instance itself and all its communities.

Just because you disagree with my opinion, doesn’t make it “the wrong thinking” 😊

I see what you mean, but there will always be someone who disagrees with the mods of a community. Instead of creating yet another c/ufo community, it would make more sense to create c/ufo_abductions fx. Your example is a good case for actually creating another c/ufo, but controversy is not going to be the issue every time someone wants to create an already existing community.

And I’m not saying there can’t be any duplicate communities at all. I just think admins should give it some thought, before creating the 8th c/technology community.

As @maegul@lemmy.ml also said, it would be something I would also take into consideration as well, if someone asked to have a community created on my instance.

That would really depend on the community and I would argue that it is easier to take up your concerns with the admin of the instance, if a community is being mismanaged, than it would be on Reddit.

We need something like “Multi-subreddits”, where you can combine communities into the same entity. Only issue is that a lot of the same posts are posted a cross all the same communities.

This is what has already happened to some extend, but communities are free to move away to another instance. Fx !Android!android@lemmy.world moved to !Android!android@lemdro.id.

You could also say that the moderators of communities that exist on multiple instances, have a certain responsibility as well, but it is tricky. Beehaw.org has many of the same communities that the rest of the Lemmyverse has, but they also defederate with the biggest instance lemmy.world.

Admins simply need to take responsibility. If a community already exists in the Lemmyverse, I don’t allow it to be created on my instance.
