But obviously instances blocking other instances is part of it.

We're trying to have an intelligent discussion here.

You think every Lemmy admin should be forced to fed with CSAM instances, and therefor host on their own servers CSAM? Wow great plan you have for expanding the fediverse.

frustrating to learn to find

So when you are pointed at a mega threads that is 2k posts long over 10 years, where you are told the answer is, how do you attack it? LearnEd one.

Ha. have you seen the looneys here on Lemmy asking for signatures?

The point of social platforms is to be social.

Agree. And there are cultural issues in forums that make them really annoying. Some forums like to consolidate topics into mega threads like "if you have questions about xyz go to the xyz mega thread". Then you go there and its a 300 page chronology starting in 2008 of completely disorganized conversation. 20 posts per page with no way to read it more easily.

You could do that on reddit with a pinned post but usually mega threads were at least limited to daily/weekly/monthly instead of indefinite.

It would be solved for people who are primarily interested in tech and gaming. How about bellow challenges?

Gaming is huge so presumably lots of gamers are interested in the wider world, which is not exactly well represented here compared to the major platforms.

And we can't ignore the inherent complexities of federation. If a user signs up to another instance but for some reason that instance (or game 's instance) is blocked by others or even goes offline, then it will be confusing if not ruining of their experience.

In another subthread I came up with the below, is this what you mean? I haven't tried it yet.

• /home/user/folderApple is always empty
• /home/user/folderApple-original mounts ontop of /home/user/folderApple at boot
• then /mnt/drive/folderBanana also mounts ontop of /home/user/folderApple when/if it becomes available (later in the order)

Ideally I'd like to avoid a script because my experience is they aren't very durable. I make mistakes and they are difficult to troubleshoot. So I am trying to just use the tools that are already available in the system.

But maybe there is something in the idea of using a second mount, like if

• /home/user/folderApple is always empty
• /home/user/folderApple-original mounts ontop of /home/user/folderApple at boot
• then /mnt/drive/folderBanana also mounts ontop of /home/user/folderApple when/if it becomes available (later in the order)

The results are the same no matter which order I do the mounts in.

don't delete your post, people wrote things here.
