A sort of related more general comment. For the sake of my Local feed, I wish Lemmy.ca was only human-created Canada-centric content. That's why I signed up to the lemmy.ca instance. A couple week's prior to this community's creation there was an influx of bot-run communities. I blocked them, because I don't want to see 15 Cool Guide or Reddit-based Nostalgia posts in my Local feed, displacing human-created Canada-centric content. It's not a perfect solution though, because I wouldn't mind seeing those posts on my All feed. I know from community growth and server cost perspectives it doesn't make sense to limit who or what can be posted (beyond blocking hate speech and other obviously objectionable material). I wish I could have multiple Subscribed feeds. In lieu of that, maybe I should choose another instance based on Local feed appeal and port Lemmy.ca communities that I like to my subscribed feed
How do we even confirm content is from Canadians?
"Please enter your postal code so a representative can meet you in a pre-approved location like a cop shop and share the site access password required to get to the login page"
I never said from Canadians. I said Canada-centric. In other words, Canada-related. There are more curated instances out there, like beehaw.org. Nevertheless, I appreciate the joke: "Passport required to post" lol
I currently have 2 lemmy accounts: .ca and lemmynsfw. But after sharing my perspective here I did explore other instances and I think it makes sense for me to have 2 non-nsfw accounts. That way I can have 2 different subscribed feeds. I also realized that for one reason or another the All feed on a lemmy.ca instance is pretty inclusive of the larger Lemmy landscape compared to a beehaw.org or lemmy.ml instance. (I compared the 3 without being logged in and the 2 other instances didn't display as many posts on the All feed as lemmy.ca did - I'm not sure why but I would love to be enlightened by a more knowledgeable lemmy :)
Beehaw.org defederated lemmy.world which hosts most of the Lemmy communities. For lemmy.ml I'm not sure.
Thanks, Camus! ☺️
