Pardon my ignorance but what would be the point of that? You can sign up on any instance and participate in any women's communities. It's not like there's any way to verify the user's gender anyway.

A community like that would hopefully ban misogynists who go unbanned on other communities.

"Community" is the operative word there. OP is asking about an instance.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

An instance can be a community in the general sense of the word.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right but it has a very specific meaning here.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They (I think) meant that the instance would be a community, and the admins would ban misogynists.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

I know what they meant but it's an important distinction here.

Local feed I guess. I wouldn't trade my french local feed to another despite the abillity to subscribe to the community that made it.

D'autant plus que je ne poste pas souvent dessus !

Local feed is one of the best parts of Lemmy conceptually and a very clear indicator that the intended behaviour for users is to sign up to smaller insurances related to their location or otherwise significant individual interests.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Couldn't you sign up on another instance and still subscribe to all the same communities?

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago

It would only work if I don't subscribe to any other instances. That's a bad tradeoff.

The fediverse needs a tool to surf other instances local feed cause that's a common issue for both the threadiverse and twittoverse. Soon, we may have enough theme-oriented PixelFed instances for them to have the same issue. I believe PieFed multicommunity feeds to be the best way to tackle it so far but that's not even a good solution.

You really don't see the benefit to a group of similar people to have a space focused on them, their wants and needs and daily lives? A community of people like them? It's one of the most fundamental human desires.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

That's not what I said.

with enough admin and moderation you could circle jerk your way into a "woman positive" or "woman friendly space" which would be the idea.
