This is a good idea, use one account just to sub everything so syncing works and I can use "all" and "subsribed" seperatly, very good idea. Do you know if there is an easy way to "subscribe to everything"? Like a script or something?

Hello, with the spicy beehaw drama I was wondering, would it be possible to selfhost a lemmy instance literally just for yourself and no one else to like, circumvent any defederation shenanigans? As all instances federate per default, this should work right?

Allthough, as far as my understanding of how federation works is that I would need to manually subscribe to every community on every instance that I'm interested in as federation only syncs communities that have at least one subscriber on the hosting instance, correct?

Or is there a way to subscribe to EVERYTHING?

Other than that is there any obvious downside to doing that?

Difference between kbin and lemmy? by dichtbringer in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

I made a user both on kbin.social and lemmy.world and I've tried around a lot with both, testing out federation etc. I like the lemmy interface a bit better I think, it feels more responsive and overall performance seems a bit better.

On the other hand kbin wins out when handling content, I like how threads and microblogs are both easily accessable, on lemmy this is a bit more confusing. Also it's easier to discover/subscribe to new stuff anywhere on kbin.

I'm not sure which one I will eventually use, bur right now it's 100% kbin because of this lemmy bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3008
