This particular thing IS a common-sense technicality. Without it, every new instance, the second it came online, would start to try and mirror THE ENTIRE FEDIVERSE.
The ideal would be some kind of in-between, but that's a lot more complex, and involves the developers making decisions for you in terms of what to pull in and what not to.
Yes, hence why I said I understand why it needs to remain opt-in. It still doesn't change the fact that it's a burdensome and inconvenient quirk.
Not that I have a better solution to propose either, mind. Feels like one of those things that just is what it is, an unfortunate downside of the federated design.
