So, uhm, what the hell is going on with all these ad posts I’m seeing in this community?

near impossible to enforce, due to the federated nature. Server admins could whitelist

What if you could automatically federate with any instance requiring an application, but anything else you would need to whitelist? Maybe that could work.

I'm no federation expert, but I think if you could convince your own instance admin, or the one hosting this community (lemmy.world), to do so, you'd be good. But that would potentially affect a lot more users than just the ones in this community, so they might take some effort.

Also, I'm not aware of any tools that could automate this for you.

I know there isn't anything like this now, I'm basically just theorycrafting how it should/could function :)
