As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR compliant? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Edit: The question “is Lemmy GDPR compliant” should mean, does the software stack provide admins with means to be GDPR compliant.

    The problem is that it’s easy to filter only local content. But the current system is biased for local content first. So paradoxically this means local content will wither and die because no one will see it.

    Content should be global first and local second. That way, you can post wherever you like and it will get global exposure.

    This way users will not be incentivized to only post in the biggest community on the biggest instance, while leaving everywhere else a desert.

    The current way it’s built will recreate a centralized Reddit like with few fragmented communities

    The problem with multireddit, why they were not able to fulfill to promise of bringing multiple communities together was that only a minuscule subset of users used them.
