That... didn't last long. It's a shame as a lot of the communities I subscribe to are there, but I don't have an interest in joining a restrictive instance like theirs. This really highlights the fragility of these self-hosted instances and the platform in general.

I'm hoping someone builds a client that lets you transparently log in to multiple users and get a mixed feed from all of their sources.

There's the potential to do that. But at that point you're essentially a full blown lemmy instance, minus publishing. I'm hosting my own because I'm a masochist/interested in the tech, and going out and finding groups to add to mine is essentially what I've done all evening. Limited registration and I'm getting feeds from both of these servers on my client.

As they mentioned their decision is effective immediately and it looks like their users can't interact with the defederated ones but the instances that federate with them can interact there. Isn't this just a win-win for everybody?
