That makes sense, but sounds like it’d be a constant spam battle. Maybe I’m overthinking it, or just thinking about how I’d go about breaking/attacking something to try to figure out how to fix it.

I’m new to the whole concept of federation, so please let me know if I’m missing something fundamental, but with your proposal (subscribing to all c/pickles) works for when each instance has the same general rules for posts, but what about when one c/pickles on some server is actually about… dildos? (like r/trees was about pot, and r/marijuanaenthusiasts was about trees)?

Wouldn’t your feed be polluted with pics and reviews of dildos when you want wholesome and healthy pickle recipes?
