In case of 4chan it's obviously other anonymous imageboards. There doesn't seem to functionality in Lemmy that would allow for posting without accounts.
Not possible really. The protocol Lemmy uses requires accounts, not only as a soft requirement, but the software your instance would be interacting with requires it to function.
I imagine it wouldn't be hard to add that functionality to an instance, but given the pearl clutching Lemmy instance admins are prone to it would be defed pretty quickly.
It would be defed pretty quickly because all bots, alt right trolls, pedophiles and anyone looking to share illegal content would instantly flock to it.
Sorry you being able to store child porn on my instance is considered pearl clutching. No fucking way I want that responsibility because I like to read memes.
Tell you what: you go host that instance, with no pearl-clutching. Don't worry about any knocks at the door, or federal agents abseiling through your windows. You don't clutch no pearls, right?
actually it depends on which instance you have chosen and the privacy policy of chosen instance.
my instance doesn't require an email so it's pretty much anonymous like 4chan. but I want to find out some different forum or board that isn't Lemmy.
Edit: plus you can't post without an account on Lemmy.
It would be interesting to make a Lemmy fork that doesn’t require login and registers all posts as anonymous@(instance). Would probably get insta defederated by every other instance though lol
