As far as I can tell this is just an article where someone's theorizes Musk's plan?

This will take care of the other commenters point about having to manually subscribe to everything. I just had it pull the top 500 communities from the top two instances and I'm fine...

I don't get how we can block. I long press anything and I get a browser menu...

EDIT: Figured it out!

Man how many people even know what this is lol

And it worked perfectly! Thank you for that work!

The problem is you lose the ability to encounter new communities by browsing "All". And since I'm the only user on my instance I will never discover any communities that I don't manually add or find on third-party websites not to mention that process of using those websites is cumbersome and tedious...

I added the top few thousand communities and the server runs absolutely fine. :)

These are the comments that make Lemmy great.

I can't help but wonder if this would be better served at the client level. Either way I miss this feature.

Agreed!

This one is really nice too. I created an issue with the developer to try to limit it to the top most active communities just to not get 7,000. :D

As long as people understand the circumstances of that instance I have absolutely no problem with people finding the place they belong.

I just hope there are not new users who don't realize they may not be federated with the larger community.

Without a doubt I miss the more normal IAMA's also.

One of the most successful IAMA's of all time was the vacuum repair guy and he absolutely was fascinating.
