To be honest? I don't like the decision I wish there was a better way to handle this, this might make users not want to join the fediverse out of fear of losing contact with communities that they participate in.
Just make an extra account... I don't know about you, but I have a ton of reddit accounts, on reddit I already kept my participation separated and I used containers to quickly switch between them. It's fine, I wouldn't even notice a difference.
I think for those looking for a reddit alternative what they want most is to be able to keep track of their communities they subscribed to without suddenly finding out that the instance they are signed onto defeded from an outside instance leading to the feed stopping from those communities.
I wonder if there is some type of RSS agnostic feed so I can set up multisubreddit equivalents to follow my communities and view posts regardless of whether I'm signed in or not, so the only decision I have to make when it comes to logging into an account is which one to use so I can interact with my community.
Something like this
lemmy/c/PatientGamers@sh.itjust.works+technology@beehaw.org+Futurama @lemmy.world+Android@lemmy.world+RetroGaming@lemmy.world+PC Gaming@lemmy.ca+Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film/.rss
But, this current situation where I have to like go to beehaw to see my community feed then go sh.itjust.works see my community feed is a hassle. I want to see it in one view ideally even if I have to switch accounts to interact.
This would make sense... if Beehaw wasn't invite-only.
there is still enough serves that you can register that are not blocked by beehaw - or you can interact with mastodon/calckey software with lemmy and kbin. so easy.
