Would it make sense to a preselected list of general instances in each region and simply have a sort of round robin approach to those instances that are within the users geolocation. This will align with legal laws of that user while removing the complexity and offering some sort of balancing of new signups? I know the idea with the fediverse is to be decentralized which it could still be for the users that care but i feel the most majority of people coming from Reddit probably won’t care (at least not at first)

Im especially interested in its advanced OCR capabilities. Will be testing this one out on lm studio

This is great but i feel like we still need some speciality communities that will drive people here. This is an amazing start though

Yes actually! tesseract does allow for you to change the default lemmy front end to it.

From their github readme

Running Tesseract In Place Of Lemmy-UI If you want to run Tesseract in place of Lemmy-UI, just replace the proxy pass that goes to your current Lemmy-UI with the IP/port >of Tesseract. Be sure to keep the conditionals that separate the ActivityPub ld+json out to the API’s container.

I think this should be implemented on a community level and not on an instance level. As much as I don’t like twitter/x myself, it doesn’t mean we should be censoring everyone else.
