This is a real shame, and highlights to me that the federation model might be wrong. If I want to access these subs now, I have to create a new account and I wish I didn't have to. I wonder if the federated part should be user federation rather than instance federation?
I’m interested to know why more people aren’t recommending kopia, it seemed like the obvious choice when I evaluated them but perhaps I was just wrong?
I’m not super familiar with torrenting protocols, but would have naively assumed that the very fact that subs have a single source of truth (e.g. selfhosted@lemmy.world is hosted on lemmy.world in its entirety, and then only cached on other lemmy instances) would be enough?
I guess we’d need to federate the sub list, we wouldn’t want a central source of truth for that, but that bit isn’t any different to what we have currently AFAIK
No, you’ve completely missed what I said
I didn’t make a comment against lemmy.world, it was a comment against lemmy the application’s current data model for users
