I feel like this would be a moderation nightmare. Instant approval to use any instance just because you have an account on some other instance? You can just self host a troll instance and start logging in from everywhere else.

Also it breaks the community feeling of an instance. And I still don’t really see why this feature is so often requested to be honest.

tell that to Google lol, my Github pages are way higher than my website

Well it doesn’t really focus on your README either because all the files and folders are above it

Github really tries to hide the Releases page lol it’s so annoying as a dev, it’s even worse on mobile

I usually end up just directly linking to /releases/latest

Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?

Not really lol, but if you think it will be fun then go for it

added

it depends if your Lemmy instance is configured to copy and host images, or proxy images (in which case they won’t get your IP but they’ll know when you look), or neither (they get your IP if they’re running their own instance or self-hosting the image itself)

I just sent myself a PM to test:

programming.dev shows the image as hosted from retrolemmy.com

it might also be currently bugged: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5538

It also reduces the possibility of being tracked
