yes, you cannot do password reset

this makes sense. My question (at least in mind) was more broader, like issues that may come up for content showing as it is hosted in instance X which is based somewhere where Y is illegal, while in fact the content itself will be hosted elsewhere where such law doesn’t exist. I’m not talking only for NSFW content.

i’m confused how it will work in the case that you view content from an instance in US through an instance in Germany. So your url will be the one of the german instance and it looks like the content comes from there, even though it is not. I guess it will end up instances blocking other instances that don’t share the same policies, resulting that effectively you would not be able to see such content at all. Unless there is another legal approach

using your credit/debit card to verify your account is something that I also wouldn’t like to do. Same as using my ID

I suggest creating some communities like “FindingTech”, and “FindingScience” and “FindingPets” with some similar naming convention - that covers this topic explicitly. That Finding* communities be the place people discuss the various instances and their experiences/ideals.

this is completely different than the issue described. A unified approach on search and/or communities is not being solved by a community where people will suggest other communities.
