I’ve been waiting for this thanks 🙏

Yeah that would work. I also recommend you to check Lemmy Federate.

Allow list is explicit. If you allow at least one instance, all others will be blocked. You only allowed the following instances:

• lemmy.world
• sh.itjust.works
• beehaw.org
• programming.dev

You switched to Piefed? It’s still registered as Lemmy instance in Lemmy Federate. This is an edge case I haven’t thought of.

I can fix this manually but if you haven’t transferred keys, switching on the same domain didn’t seem healthy to me.

Update: fixed it.

Happy cake day! 🎂

They just need to log in (from user button on the top right), fill bot account credentials and enable it.

Yes, unfortunately users cannot change this. The administrator of that instance must add their own instance. I try to promote Lemmy Federate as much as I can, but if you care, you can ask them too. If it’s slrpnk.net, they are not allowing it on purpose.

You can also search “fep-ef61”

Better proposal: portable objects.

You can add your new profile to display name of your old lemm.ee account. So you and people can distinguish them.

While working on this, I realized piefed.social is still defederated from lemy.lol (my instance). The reason is this:

I believed that this was a misunderstanding and that we were federated again after this message. But apparently not.

To express my honest thoughts, this is the stupidest action I’ve ever seen in my 2 years of fediverse experience. Literally the worst reason to knee-jerk.

From what I noticed in the link I entered thanks to @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com, they also ban users with “88” in their usernames. This is definitely against my freedom of thought and anti-fascist values. Therefore, for the first time, I can defederate from an instance other than spam.

I’m still open to PRs for it to be added to Lemmy Federate. I personally wouldn’t work on it but if anyone is interested in maintaining it, it’s still possible.

It doesn’t seem like a great feature if it only moves the post history to the imported instance and not to any other instances.

It says it has 95% Lemmy compatible API here. I can try to add it with some minor modifications.

Any group federation compatible server should be able to use Lemmy Federate for federating their communities (not the other way around). The only problem is, there is no standard ActivityPub way to determine if a user is an admin and I haven’t worked this out yet.

I don’t think banning users by the keyword “88” or defederating from an instance because it has “peepo” logo and accusing them of being (possible) nazis is not that effective. Or at least prone to false-positives.

Though downvote statistics stuff looks good.

Yeah I don’t get this argument either. The user reports content and I can see it, no matter which instance they’re using. Does Piefed have a fully automatic autobot that fights spammers and we don’t know about it? :)

It’s pretty easy to implement. In fact, I was working on it. But I got discouraged because of some absurd political decisions. Still open to PRs though.

If it does the same thing (unlikely), I would turn it off. If it’s just discovering and not fetching new posts, I would keep it running.

I wish Lemmy had this feature natively. Because to be honest, Lemmy Federate is a bit of a mud solution.

I would prefer a structure where community data is pulled through relays before a user follows a community and then continues as it is currently after someone follows. That could’ve make things easier in terms of database size, network and load, but I’m not sure if this can be done with the current ActivityPub spec.

That’s why I said “IIRC” because I don’t remember either 🙂

IIRC WebTorrent support is removed. Is torrenting completely off the table?

Now that they’re out, lemmy.zero?
