if you see a community for the first time, it will take a while to load the last 20 posts on that community. after that, every time an update is done on the remote community, it will be pushed to yours.

idk if at least one person need to subscribe to it, or just opening it is sufficient.

that’s pretty boring.

well at least we can enjoy their content without their limitations, since we see it from a different instance.

add multi community aggregation to aggregate communities of the same topic on different instances.

they defederated?

use https://federation-checker.vercel.app/ to check is the instance you are considering is blocked by others. and what the instace blocks.

also useful to hide post that contain a string in the title.

please put the text of the article in the description.

no, it’s an app trick. not all apps allow it. it’s on the roadmap to be integrated in lemmy itself btw.

no idea, you should search issues on github.

Anyway comments are replicated across all instances, so nobody stops someone from running a modified instance that does not abide to the comment deletion request. Same for posts, idk about images.

you should consider everything that get published public forever.

there is comment edit history, even if you edit them the original will still be visible

and works on mobile too
