How would you know for remote users?

Federation, it’s magic.
But yeah, this means Lemmy comments would never be boosted or highlighted because it wouldn’t be federating the new data. Bit of a problem!

Wait, you’re going to federate whether a user clicked on a link between instances?
That seems kinda too far. I would not want other instances to know what I have or have not clicked. That’s a level of surveillance I’m not comfortable with and I fear how that data might be abused.

Yes, you’re right. I didn’t fully think through all the implications.
