I’d like to stay logged into my home server. But I’d also like to be able to browse local and all from a different Lemmy server. And if I upvote or comment or subscribe to something from that view I’d like it to originate from my home server.

That way I could have my tiny home server but still use Discovery and cross talk from a larger server to help populate my feed.

I realize this is not very Lemmy of me but it would have an immediate impact on the user experience.

    Hmm, maybe there could be a way to give you the default “not logged in” feeds but then still handle other actions as your user. A setting for “use default feeds rather than my user’s” or something to that effect.

    Or maybe something more like an aggregator for your different email accounts in your client? You could have two accounts: one on your server and one somewhere big (eg, lemmy.world). Then you could see their combined feed, and have a switcher for which account you’re performing actions from.

    based on the title this gave me an opposite idea of an offline reader, like being able to download posts for offline reading or archiving?

      I want to do it online. I want to use Lemmy on the internet. I just want to be able to get the perspective of a different Lemmy server. I run a tiny server, so Discovery isn’t great.
