I don’t know if LW is too big, but there is such a thing a too big. Ideally no single instance should have to use “federation-style” synchronization within itself. Below that size economies of scale might justify growth, above… not so much.
We need a server that just proxies the main instances but filters out every post containing “Trump” or “Musk”.
Nah, we just need native lemmy filters, us non americans wouldn’t be missing out on much anyway. (better rules too, we need those)
Most news containing them is just clickbait and always shit like “trump says” “trump slams”
If you dont want to see those type of posts, then you can follow communities which dont include them. And block any instances/communities you dont like so they disappear from /all. You can also create your own community with your own rules, or your own instance. Neither of these things is difficult, they just need time and determination.
Some people post US politics on general communities. I have like a 100 communities blocked and I still see them.
It sucks because those communities aren’t all politics so I’d have to block the good content too.
Also the filters should include images of vote-slogans. Which could be tricky with OCR.
I like your ideas. Not gonna lie i kind of didn’t take this seriously but i mean, what’s stopping anyone? If i learn how tf lemmy internally works i could add a feature or two that helps us non USians 😎
yes exactly thank you for this link :)
if you need any help setting up that new instance, let me help you :D i’m located in austria, if that matters.
I’m in lemmy world. Is that bad?
Wdym too big. It’s like a fraction of a fraction of reddit
It’s too big regarding the whole platform. https://lemmy.world/comment/14610021
Also https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/ 16k users out of 43k are on LW
