As it stands right now, it looks like we have to just judge based off of how old posts are to see if we can still interact with a community.

This can be added but it's sort of resource intensive. Ideally the server would tell the client within the community object or something. Right now the only way is to fetch the list of ALL federated instances which is pretty large.

    This would be a great feature to have, but yeah, probably best to be implemented in Lemmy itself, rather than Summit.

    The only question is whether the Lemmy devs will ever get around to it... maybe the PieFed devs might do it first?

    Edit: Looks like they already have. Would this make it easier to implement in Summit, at least for PieFed communities?
