If I was logged into several instances at once in the client and seeing the composite feed and then could choose instance when replying or posting (with some set default, like from: field in e-mail clients) lemmy.world could ban piracy all it wants and it’d still be in my feed without me having to leave it or change instances.

        if you divide everyone across instances, all those instances duplicate communities. those duplicated communities disperse the activity around those topics so they get exponentially less traffic compared to every other socialmedia sites format. defederations further requires this duplication and dispersal making the entire platform unable to grow as a collective, a fundamental need of link aggregators. and this is without talking about how defederation impacts the UX.

            what do you mean that’s not how that works? there are constantly the exact same article taking up 8-10 spots on the front page from various political/tech communities. its a daily occurrence, especially whenever the news involves the fedeverse. we gotta spread out the conversation because otherwise i can’t find my perfect echo chamber.
