Firstly, there is the unstoppable flood of new posts that are added while browsing "All". Although this doesn't happen when using the Jerbea app, it sometimes renders "All" unusable in the browser.

This will be resolved once websockets are removed with the next update:

Secondly, the issue of the same posts being displayed for days under "Hot". There is already a pull request for this, so it has been fixed and just needs to be implemented:

Now, the only remaining points for me are:

  1. Links to external instances should automatically be transformed when opened so that one can participate with the account of their own instance. For example, lemmy.world/c/memes should automatically become feddit.de/c/memes@lemmy.world.

  2. Communities from different instances should be able to merge, allowing users to see the content of all communities across different instances.

Both would keep exiating. I imagine it like a federation on the community level. Gaming@kbin.social could federate with gaming@lemmy.world and when you view one of the two, you would see the contents of both as if they were one community. When creating a post you would still need to decide to which of both you want to post it, though. This would make sure that there are no problems in the case of "defederation".

That's how I imagine the whole thing. Not sure if there are any negative side effects I can't think of right now, though.

Adding the "hide" feature from reddit would be an easy fix/stopgap solution. I had a similar issue in reddit when one of my multis included a less active community, so I'd just hide the posts I was done with.

100% agree. Getting linked to other instances where I'm not signed in is a really clunky experience. It seems like that's been happening less since I got on the Jerboa app (or maybe I'm just clicking on less links)

How would merging communities across different instances? Would one be chosen as the new primary, and the other goes away?
