Unless there is some kind of cooldown time (but even then), mods will constantly change...

Group A votes Mod B off and places Mod A there. Group B doesn't like that and votes Mod A off and places Mod B (or a similar) back.

The longer that goes on, the more users (and even Mods) will get annoyed and leave that sub. There will probably the be originalsub, splitsubA, splitsubB. All of these subs will be weaker than the originalsub was before.

So basically the same what we see in current politics. Instead of finding a solution together, it just creates larger gaps between the members.

It feels less like democracy but more like temporary dictatorship that oscillates between opinions.

A better solution would be to have multiple mods with different opinions finding consensus together. But that's easier said than done...

Being able to see a list of all the communities of an instance, without having to actually go to that instance.

Then being able to add whichever community from there with a simple button click.

E.g. I'm on lemmy.one, I can go to lemmy.one/communities to see all the local communities. Now I'd like to go to lemmy.one/[email protected] or similar, to see a complete list of lemm.ml's instances. Then, when I click "subscribe" next to e.g. "Comics" there, the community should be added to lemmy.one if it isn't already and subscribe me that way.

Also links to communities should automatically be changed to local links. lemmy.ml/c/Comics would become lemmy.one/c/[email protected] If it doesn't already exist on the local instance, clicking on it should not display a 404, but a message that it is being added and available soon.

It's a pain in the ass to go to each instance, copy the URL of each community and then pasting it to the search of my local one. Then wait for it to be indexed and finally being able to subscribe.

anyone knows if it’s cheaper to get random domain, just for personal stuff, this way

I think it's usually more expensive that way. What I've seen is that these are usually domains that might be of special interest. This is also the case in the one that I have seen. (In contrast to auctions of physical things like on ebay, that might have aged already and thus are cheaper.)

how are the renewal fees set, are they related bid made

That's what I would like to know too. Either that, or the prices are the normal fees of the chosen registrar. I don't know which.

This sounds interesting. I see two possibilities for that:

• Let downvotes from external users be less effective
• Display up/down ratio twice, once from local votes and once from external votes; plus only have the local ones affect sorting

Actually when I think about it, a combination of both would also be possible.

The problem with that is, that not all instances use "Lemmy" or even "feddit" in the URL.

It would be really useful if you could set your home instance and then have a direct link for adding/joining the communities that way. It's still quite annoying to do all manually.

Or that all (subscribed?) servers automatically be notified and thus updated when a new community is created on another server.

certain instances can choose not to federate with other instances

I've not seen this yet, how does this manifest?
