Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable

That’s why you make the backend available to all to develop a front end, but there’s a default option just called Lemmy that helps solve the indexing and getting people started issue. If the Lemmy default option becomes shit the data is still available and something else becomes the default option.

I agree it gets complex for users. But pushing back a bit, wouldn’t we instead say:

We could tell new users “Sign up on Lemmy.com and if you decide you ~~don’t like the UI~~ aren’t a pedophile just ~~choose an alternative and use the same credentials to sign in~~ make sure you start blocking.”

I have in mind that the top blocked instances are pedo oriented. Also seems like it would create a liability issue for servers mirroring that content.

Although it’s not a perfect solution to choose a default instance for new users, I do think it’s a powerful question to eliminate.

  Hosts could choose to host NSFW content or not, right now they have the exact same issue anyway so the current situation is no better…
