With beehaw de-federating from lemmy.world (and seemingly most of the fediverse and this point), myself and many others no longer have a way to even lurk beehaw. Coupled with the fact that beehaw seems to gate-keep their registration, I’m wondering if there’s a way to at least lurk their instance without needing an account. I know it can be done via their website. Is that something Jerboa supports as well?
The tldr is that because we have an open registration policy anyone can make an account on our instance or lemmy.world and post on their instance and they don’t like that, because they say it makes it too easy for their community to be trolled. I don’t think I want to take side on this, but it would be nice to still be able to see their content even if I cant post/comment there.
yeah, it seems like if lemmy implemented “only subscribers can post” and “mods must approve subscriptions” features for communities, beehaw’s concerns about trolling could be solved.
it might take a while for that, though - i think lemmy devs are still working through community features, like private communities and such. amazing progress they’ve made, but advanced community features would be such a solid win for them, esp right now.
