I’m pretty sure there might be some arcane scripts for you that would help you. But you should clarify query a bit. What are the weird issues you’re running into? Alternatively, if you’re managing nginx and letsencrypt manually you could try:
I think that would be great feature. Do I understand correctly that if a user would want to do that now that they have to set up their own instance and determine what to federate and what not?
My gut feeling is that defederation should be done as little as possible. I’m quite new to all this, but to me, it feels like it should be user preference instead of admin/mod preference. I have no clue whether that is even possible though. Perhaps there should be more filters than just Subscribed, Local and All to alleviate certain issues.
I’m unsure whether a drop-in replacement exists. I use Lawnchair. It doesn’t have the newsfeed when swiping left, but if you’re okay with changing your flow a bit it could be good (enough) for you. You could create something with widgets (or maybe plugins) that replicate what you currently have.
All three options should cover those requirements. You should take a look at them and decide which suit you best.
