Trouble adding community from another server
What are you thoughts about (semi-) centralized moderation? (Updated with a more decentralized idea)
As the Fediverse grows, the amount and frequency of harmful spam also increases. The feudalistic structure of the network creates notable moderation overhead as every instance admin has to ban offending remote accounts…

Is there a way to not see duplicate of the same topic across different communities?
Considering the move to Lemmy or hosting with a custom architecture
So far, I like what’s been built here. There are a few things I’d change, but they’re not dealbreakers. My main concern is the voting system and how it works. Otherwise, Lemmy seems like a solid option. I’m not sure how…

Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for alternatives on Reddit; maybe worth pointing to BookWyrm and NeoDB?
