  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.
