  • Yes with Activitypub federation you generally have to trust server admins with the data they handle (similar with private messages). Though I suppose it would be possible for communities to anonymize votes when announcing them to followers, then only the admin of the community’s instance could see who voted.










  • Auto-generating quotes is one possibility, though I dont like that it implies rewriting the comment text. It could also be ugly in case there is already a quote. Or there could be a text field which links to the comment being responded to.

    Another option would be a config option which disables nested comments entirely (both over federation and api). That means lemmyBB users wouldnt get to see all comments.

    This would quickly get complex, as it would require configuration options for instances to fetch from, fetch interval, number of communities to fetch each time, etc. At least for now i think its better to have an external tool. But it could be linked in the docs so other admins can easily find it.

    I still have to check if the retrieved communities don’t get somehow deleted if they are never used (if nobody subscribes)

    Communities will be stored forever, unless you manually go into the database and delete them. Even the delete buttons on the frontend only hide them.
