Is it possible to successfully integrate that amount of refugees from such different cultural background in such short time? Regarding language training - I’m not sure about Germany, but at least in Austria, where the symptoms of “failed integration” are also present (and also with right wing on the rise), you can get free A1+A2 courses and even B1 if you explain it right. When my wife was attending free A1 courses she learned that there were quite a few people who were attending same A1 courses year after year. You can bring the horse to water but you can’t make it drink. So it’s not right to blame the government only. There also needs to be a cultural shift, and things like that happen on scale of years, tens of.

true, and cheaper as well

you’d still want a private insurance plan

Not sure how lemmy implements this, but I suppose it’s not a trivial task in such decentralized environment. Imagine 10 users from instance A subscribed to instance B and then instance A went permanently down. If B holds number of subscription requests it’s now out of date. If B has to poll every instance it’s federated with it’s additional arguably unnecessary load. So yeah local subscriptions are a low hanging fruit
