4 is possible for the communities themselves; but people interacting with them through other domains wont get filtered.

Hello
To my knowledge
- No
- Yes, communities can be set to "local"
- Not that I know of
- Not sure, sorry
- How will that block access of local users to remote existing communities (subscribe/post/reply/e.t.c.) ? I understand that only new created communities can be set to local only. Maybe I am wrong, can you explain or point to documentation link ?
you can only set a community to only allow local users, not prevent users from interacting with remote communities.
you'd have to either disable federation or set up a script to automatically remove all remote communities, but that also won't be a per user thing, just a per instance thing.
Best I have is the release notes when they got implemented: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4_-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements
Anyway, thank you.
