It hasn't been updated in like a year and there is no spell correction. Am I missing something or is this just an acceptable tradeoff for you?

It's "different from".
"Similar to"; "different from"; "less/greater than". "Different than" doesn't make sense.
Different app
I don't know if I solved it by disabling and re-enabling the repo but that's one of the things I tried and later I could see it.
I never used Discord but used google hangouts before switching to Telegram and Matrix (the former for family and the latter for everything else).
I don't disagree. I want to see topic aggregation as soon as possible too.
My comment was in response to the implication that people who exercise their right to not listen to everyone talking are using defederation as some sort of weapon to fulfil their chaotic, destructive agenda while free-speech instances are merely open to any and all interactions like exemplary participants in a civilised democratic society.
If you actually want to know what my perspective is, I just wrote about it: https://mander.xyz/post/739439
I don't think of the threadiverse as a link aggregation platform but as a network of communities engaging in threaded discussion. The federated model is an answer to the problem of platform lock-in, the network effect, and the lack of autonomy communities have on proprietary/commercial/centralised platforms.
Without the possibility of creating a meta layer to let users group different communities into a single feed
This isn't an intrinsic limitation of the protocol but a matter of UX, and given how frequently it is requested it's bound to be implemented in some way by some project; if not Lemmy then maybe kbin or something new that crops up.
the free side, that talks with everyone
the side that talks at everyone and gets mad when people exercise their freedom from listening to everyone
Some things I think are needed first:
- greatly improved UX for handling links to content hosted on other instances: you shouldn't have to use the inconspicuous search function to access it via your instance,
- community collections: aggregating communities by topic each with a clear overview, their own feed and a nice, convenient way to create and view crossposts between them,
- more polished and stable app(s),
- ease of migrating between instances (massive bonus if we can have portable identities),
- a change in how we present the core idea behind the federation model: it's not about aggregation (this misconception leads to frustration over "fragmentation"), it's about community self-governance/autonomy and error-correction (as in making it easier for communities to migrate if authority is abused).

This is cool! Typing with it right now. Have been hoping to see an innovation like this for a long time. (Maybe some proprietary products have come and gone but non-free software doesn't exist to me unless I really can't afford to abstain)
