  • This will just push websites to change the orders and names of their query params (maybe regularly).

    I don’t think one can safely omit all query params from all sites and expect a decent experience across all websites.

    You are fighting a good fight, I salute you, but query params (the part of the url where the identifiers are included) are a valid and core part of Internet addresses. Trying to strip them away universally will only work for so long.

    I think that’s why you haven’t found a tool that meets all your needs yet, because many sites have legitimate uses for those params that don’t include tracking. You’ll probably need tools designed specifically for Amazon and other specific websites/services.

    So what changed with Lemmy then? A few months back when I joined the ecosystem many instances including LW were unreachable for many hours a day. Joining up to a new instance didn’t make LW content appear (as they were offline).

    The issues today feel largely the same as a user, though less frequent. Am I misunderstanding?

    If the instance that hosts those communities goes down or struggles to stay afloat won’t it struggle to federate its content outside its own network?

    If I join another instance and lemmy.world is down, it’s not like I can see the communities on lemmy.world.

    Joining another instance as a user doesn’t solve the problem that lemmy.world has bad uptime outside of the scope of reducing the load on LW itself
