Alive and well as @Gamera8ID@kaijus.us!

I’m experiencing similar things:

• Posts made here not appearing on other federated instances
• Posts made by other federated instances disappearing or never appearing in communities here

I’ve checked with alt accounts created on lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works which are subscribed to the same communities.

@ruud@lemmy.world Is there a federation issue?

Edit: I think this is a problem with all communities on lemmy.ml. I’m new to the fediverse concept, but the issue seems to specifically be with them.

Lemmy.world has been acting strangely since yesterday’s upgrade, and has also been getting hugged by Reddit refugees.

I think it’s having issues right now seeing posts elsewhere in the fediverse, and sharing posts made on lemmy.world with other servers.

Using an alternate account on lemm.ee I can see a lot of lemmy.ml posts in here that aren’t visible on lemmy.world, and none of those instances seem to be defederated from each other.

I expect it’s just growing pains and will be resolved soon.

tl;dr You might want to make an alt.

If “master” unintentionally made some people uncomfortable then there’s no harm in changing the default, since you can modify it if you choose.

No plans to go back :)

I notice you’re really putting in the work getting this community started. Thanks for that!

the instance you bring up in particular is essentially a spambot.

I’d like to understand your perspective here. This and this are examples of subreddits I miss which have no active Lemmy equivalent. How is their existence at Lemmit.Online spam?

I think that’s why admin posts to lemmyworld would make sense.

“This week we blocked these 5 instances for these reasons and these 2 external communities for these other reasons. Discussions are open here until we lock the thread.”

This is being discussed in https://lemmy.world/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml too. You might want to check out that Community.

There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.

Thanks. My job’s gotten busier since I bought my DS412+ and it’s been sitting virtually unused for awhile. I’m hoping someone can provide directions that are just a step above “click to install” because I’m (too busy/too lazy/too clueless <-- pick one) to DIY it.

Have you tried https://wefwef.app?

The post he responded to listed a number of alternate scenes. All minor.

Boost user, too. There’s !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world modded by the dev, but my understanding is that they have no current plans for supporting Lemmy.

Also stealing.

Very helpful. Thanks!

Maybe https://www.khanacademy.org?

shit tickets

I have never of tp being called this, but I am totally stealing it

Now imagine if your PlayStation can cross-play with a Nintendo Switch, and the XBox can cross-play with a PC. However, PC and Switch do not cross-play. That’s kind of how the Federation works. Different ‘hubs’ can pick and chose which other ‘hubs’ they talk to.

This is one of the best explanations I’ve seen. Thank you.

Slightly off-topic, but your example actually helps lessen my concern with what I understood about “defederating.”

I almost “noped” on using Lemmy because I saw defederating as removing the choice from me as an individual. Instance admins can, at any time, remove my option to engage with users in another instance. Welcome to the echo chamber.

But your example helps me see defederation in a slightly different light. I still get why it’s called “the nuclear option,” but it’s maybe more like “We don’t talk to Nazis, even if they don’t bring up white supremacy while discussing beekeeping.”

So while I still don’t think the decision to defederate by Beehaw makes sense, I do have less concern about defederating as a concept. (Although I still want the ability to transfer my posts and comments to a different instance, should my instance admin make a decision I disagree with.)

Thanks again!

This is helpful, thanks.

It doesn’t cost you anything to sign up for, so give it a try.

The main cost is time, to understand the platform and to find community. I created a Kbin account, but I don’t see myself having the time to be divided between Kbin and Lemmy so I’m hoping not to have to maintain both.

Kbin federates with Lemmy - so users can engage in each other’s posts.

This gives me hope. So is it basically just a different UI? This is where my understanding of the fediverse breaks down.
