They should have separated identification and content.
Make a unified id system and then let people host their own communities on the federated level.
This would have been expecially important as you can’t really move your account among instances, and would have make the registration process also much easier for normal users who just want to use the platform
The only protocols I’ve seen which do this require users to use PGP/GPG keys. Its very definitively not user friendly. I’d rather the Lemmy and KBin devs emphasize their focus on other improvements rather than reinvent how the fediverse, including mastodon, does authentication
see I always expected it to be like a “well, first you gotta have a MariaDB or Postgress” then “you’ll need to configure nginx” followed by security gobblygook , and if you want a UI you’ll have to figure that out on your own
Or join a specialized instance and create a username that the people in that instance will understand but not the normies. (For the record, yes, this is my lemmy.world account, but my username on startrek.website is much more obscure than this one)
One of the beautiful things with the fediverse is that I’ve just created an alt account on another instance, so I can
1: Reduce the load on lemmy.world servers
2: use the alt account if lemmy.world is down
Idk, I feel too lazy to inform myself of what other instances are about and creating a whole new account for them
I’m commenting from lemmy.nz. If you have an account on another instance you can still access everything on lemmy.world
and with LASIM you can migrate all your subs over with a couple clicks.
I’ve been so hesitant about making another account, but this one seem very useful. Thanks for this one!
Isn’t .NZ exclusively about New Zealand? Like, I’m a native Spanish speaker, but I don’t see any lemmy instances in spanish
y si, .nz es nuevo zelanda. soy kiwi
*Nueva
Spanish is a very gendered language
Ah si, lo siento, nuevo zelando :P
Por cierto hay instances que estan en espanol.
Posiblemente puedes encontrar algo en ese link?
https://lemmyverse.net/
Si no puedes, hay communities en espanol como…
!memelas@mujico.org
That’s is one of major Lemmy flaw IMHO

The point of Lemmy is decentralisation. No one thing has ultimate power
You can make identification decentralized/distributed too
Just in a different way so that it is unequivocal

i read that is one of technical improvement that the bluesky atproto try to implement
Read the two sentence long descriptions on join-lemmy.org/instances and use the same username and password if you’re that lazy.
sweet

Yeah I mean, if you want to RUN a server
Yeah, it’s pretty simple.
