Hello m@teys,

I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.

Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.

Have a good week!

Clients can only do so much sadly. For example, they can't make polls, user flairs, implement passkeys, following threads, disabling, proper blocking implementations, and etc.

Even then, the features that clients can somewhat implement (like post tags) rely on others using the same client, and aren't considered as a standard.

For the karma features, we'll be sure to disable it if we made our own instance. And as we said; the lemmy instance will always be active and the main instance.

    True that, I suppose Piefed has it's advantages with a faster development pace.
    Although I'm still sceptical, especially regarding fragmentation
