At the moment clicking on the links of the defedereted instances opens the instance in the browser.

I hope clients/apps like Sync/Connect/Summit/Infinity etc give us the feature to browse these defedereted instances even if we logged into lemmy.world

I know you can’t post/comment/save, but for many, ability to browse would be enough.

A toggle in the settings for this feature would be enough.

You can’t comment? I’m using sync to see if this goes through

So you can comment but can’t post on sync

You cannot comment on defedereted instances if you are logged into your lemmy.world account

Actually no, or maybe combine that with a nudge to move to another more open, freer instance - with automatic subs, blocks and settings migration. That would be productive.
