Will the multi-communities be able to handle communities from multiple instances?
Like communities from lemmy.eco.br and lemmy.pt that are country agnostic, like !dev@lemmy.eco.br and !devpt@lemmy.pt, that are development communties, but pulverized across instances, so creating multi-communities across both instances would make good onboarding on both sides.
Just asking to see what would be capable, to atract more people easily, showing more “content”, etc.
Hopefully it’s possible, if not it’s a shortcoming.
Piefed feeds do already if you are interested
Cool!
Piefed is also full of admin level manipulation controls that allow the admin to shadow ban you, make your votes have less weight. They can perform the same level of vote manipulation on a per instance bases. They can boost their friends while making those critical of them get no votes from users. You can’t view any of this with out an admin account either. I think they can even make you subbed or unsubbed to a comm without your consent. It has automaton to auto hide your comments if you’re not conforming to the group think. They can make your account flagged for all users with a warning simply based on your over all score in the community.
it’s like reddit for the lemmyverse and it unseats .world in this regard.
It makes me laugh because these are the Reddit liberals that decry an authoritarian, totalitarian, dictator who uses covert tactics to manipulate places like Reddit against the freedoms and ideas they hold so dear. A dictator who fears their freedom of thought and freedom of speech, their freedom to choose their associations. They believe they are being manipulated by an army of subservient shills and bots who shape narratives and spread bad ideas through the subtle manipulation of algorithms. So when it comes time to break free from these “oppressive structures”, they end up building the exact kind of imagined oppressive structure they rail against. Meanwhile, Lemmy admins twittle their thumbs, unable to even edit a community on the instances they control unless someone appoints them as a moderator of that community. They can’t even appoint themselves as moderators of another community; it has to be another administrator who does it.

piefed is like reddit and lemmy will still welcome you back after you’re shadow banned; presuming that the same forces don’t outlaw lemmy
Why is Piefed like reddit, but Lemmy isn’t?
2 reasons:
piefed shadow bans to shape narratives like reddit does, but it’s next level that makes you unaware that you and your opinions have been shadow banned.
redditors are upset with reddit because of how it shapes narratives through various tactics (like shadow banning); so there’s userbase movement to decentralized platforms like lemmy and piefed captures this movement like the democrats capture progressives and redirects them back to the pro-capitalist status quo.

I am literally an admin on piefed.social. What shadowbans are you referring to?
Moreover, instance on piefed have their own policies - just like on lemmy. A badly behaved instance can be cut-off and isolated by the wider userbases.
Yes, you can test it yourself by registering an account on voyager.lemmy.ml with the sidebar button (direct link). There are also lots of other new features available, I really need to write a post about them. To name just a few: private communities (followers require mod approval), webassembly plugins, post tags (ui is not finished yet), and more…
That is a lot of new features features! I’m going to test it later.
Do you mean can feeds combine communities from different instances? My assumption would be yes.
The multi-communities from lemmy specifically, that (I presume) will be compatible with the piefed feeds: voyager.lemmy.ml/multi_communities
@Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com posted about it. So just wanted to know for sure.
I believe so
Nice!
