That’s a really good idea! Implementing that type of approach would account for accessibility, provides the each communities with options that individuals can use to curate their experience, and handles those factors while not blocking out or causing any complications with the wider fediverse.

I see where you might be coming from especially given the impact that everything is having and how each of us can contribute towards a wider positive change by facing that more directly although I feel like most people have different objectives and capacities with Lemmy than rushing to encourage widespread legislative or systemic change. There is definitely value to be had with that approach although I personally am discouraged from posting or commenting on Lemmy with everything being compounded together. Some people do find diving into current geopolitical struggles to be exciting to dive into and I respect that wholeheartly but oftentimes, It’s just too much for me to want to keep up on. Not everyone is in a headspace where keeping up with everything is a welcoming or beneficial user experience. When I am here which tends to be a bit rare, I like using this platform to find funny memes, discuss about nerdy hobbies, and to find or make my own type of light to bring within this platform. Often that can be challenging and having additional options to narrow down on how I can curate my experience and to help figure out where other people share similar interests would certainly prove helpful.

This could certainly come in handy as something which I think would significantly improve accessibility. Like there are a lot of channels and communities which I don’t want to block outright and which I might vibe with sometimes but not always because of how it can be rather stressful to keep up with current developments. This is especially the case when those issues flow into areas that aren’t designated as news related or with doomscrolling. Like I imagine the biggest challengen with implementation is ensuring all instances have this and that all clients are able to make use of that feature but I agree that it would be valuable to take a break or to have my feed focus more on niche hobbies, memes, and other fun areas to dive into. Just my two cents.

That seems quite exciting, I’m personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.
