Any plans to make it easier to interact with links to other instances?
The QoL value to automatically open links to other instances inside my current instance would be enormous.

Like the other guy said, this is a popular meme format, OP didn’t draw this. They’re not saying Sync is bad, they’re saying it’s not FOSS like everything else we’ve seen so far
But I guess it’s a matter of interpretation. I liked the meme but I’m sending this from Sync ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How is this gatekeeping???

You want to sort by “Active” or “Hot” to see newer posts. Or something like “Top of the Day/Week”. If you want, you can change what your feed defaults to in your settings at the top. (This also applies to Lemmy apps.) You can also change the default filter type on your feed to “Subscribed” if you want it to be like Reddit, where by default it just shows you communities you’re subscribed to across all instances.
As for navigation, yeah it’s a hot mess rn. I feel like when someone posts a link that goes to a different Lemmy instance than the one you’re currently using, there needs to be a button or something attached to it to open that link inside your current instance, instead of taking you away to one you aren’t logged into. But I’m willing to bet that apps like Jerboa or Liftoff will solve this soon if Lemmy doesn’t do it first.
Is there anything in particular that you find confusing?
The only downside is how small the communities are in comparison to their subreddit counterparts. I’m afraid that Reddit might be able to keep coasting on numbers alone for long enough to recover and ultimately overshadow this service… But it’s a great alternative, and I for one will not be leaving even if they reverse their API decisions.
I see the linked instances but not the blocked ones. I think the thing that was confusing me is the search results not showing me communities that I know exist on other instances, even when the filter is set to “all”… I’m sure that will be ironed out over time, though
Is there a way to see what instances any given instance is defederated from? Or to see what instances any instance has defederated themselves from?
The structure of all this makes my head hurt lol. But I think I’m figuring it out…
It doesn’t seem to work, at least on my instance (lemm.ee)… I just tested it through this post which links to this thread, but it navigated me to lemmy.nl from lemm.ee
