Do you feel a recommendation algorithm of some sorts is something lemmy will need for bigger audiences?

I'm just a user and don't follow the project super closely so please forgive me if this has already been addressed somewhere.

Is there any sort of JavaScript-less interface that would work properly on the Tor network with strict settings enabled? And could you set up instances only with a .onion domain? That way you don't have to pay for a domain and you're not at risk of having your domain yanked by ICANN, etc.

If I remember correctly, there was a mastodon instance that was using like a Pakistan domain or something like that and they yanked it.

Also, Federation between Onion and Standard Domains that way tor users would not be isolated.

My main reason for asking is that in my worldview, governments want to break encryption and break freedom of speech, if at all possible, and so the dark web is going to be more and more necessary as time goes on.

Edit: The more standard traffic we add onto the Tor network, the less able it is to be blocked or surveilled as to why somebody is using the Tor network. As an example, I send all of my signal traffic through Tor and download apps from fdroid through Tor and chat on SimpleX through Tor and quite a number of other things. Not because I need the Tor network, but just simply to be yet another person using it for standard activity

When will users be able to frictionlessly migrate between instances without losing their posts, their comments, their history, their relationships, their reputation etc? (Without requiring the consent of the exiting instance owner, or that this server still even exists, as they sometimes don't)
