I use it for some niche communities too. Small communities are not infected with bots fortunately. Apart from that, it sucks more than before for sure.

I guess the new plugin system is capable for those features but unfortunately I have to reject. I already have some hobby projects in mind but I don’t even have time for them because of my job.
Why fork though? You can still create an instance with strict rules and karma requirements (with help of new plugin system?).
It’s all about preference of admins. Just ask them what they’re allowing.
If you don’t use pict-rs then Lemmy will not proxy images and just use original URLs. Also, in the new version that has not been released yet, you will be able to disable the proxy via config.
I don’t understand those who criticize Lemmy developers. They were developing it while you were not here, I don’t think they will stop just because you are leaving :)
Do they need blockchain for it though?
