I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    I really like solution 3, I hope that get’s implemented at some time. Though one potential problem is; what if pancakes@a.com is subscribed to pancaked@b.com and a user from e.com, who is defederated from b.com but not to a.com, tries to browse pancakes@a.com? Would they see the posts from pancakes@b.com?

    If yes, that seems like a way to go around defederation, which I think is not a good thing always.

    If no, how do you prevent the user from accidentally reposting something that they could have no way of knowing was already posted?
