Hey folks. I'm relatively new to lemmy and the fediverse. After spending some time here I really like the idea and most of the implementation but there is one major flaw. As a user I cannot seem to ban a whole instance and that really sucks. I do not want to get bombarded by porn all the time but there are more porn communities on lemmy than stars in the universe. I can spend all day blocking them one by one.

So I either need a way to block stuff like porn and similar nonsense instances OR I need a instance finder that can help me find an instance by entering what stuff I need banned and what stuff I need federated. I do not have the time to look through every instance myself.

Interesting! Hope your school goes well. Pop OS is an operating system. I guess it was just a coincidence you commented there.

Same movie for me and same impression too. Not sure if the monster's were even necessary. Also it had more of a "run away from the explosion" vibe than a "oh this uboat is about to implode" vibe. But I can confirm it is ok-ish.

Edit: That's crazy. I've looked at your profile since I thought it's a funny coincidence. I've also lived in South Korea for a while and I've also used Pop OS in the past. Really interesting. May I ask what you are doing in Jeju-Do?

In my old gamer life probably Mario Kart 64 in my new gamer life I restarted after working Endless Space 2 or Go/Baduk (if you some up all clients for that game)

 

So clicking on an instance's instance list I can see all the linked instances and all the blocked instances.

Are these all instances that exist? What happens if a single person creates an instance? Is it then automatically "linked" or "blocked" or does it just exist "unlinked". If it exists "unlinked" then what is the difference between "unlinked" and blocked". And how could I get my instance linked if I create a new one?

You can still view content from instances that defederated from your instance as long as your instance didn't block them.

What would be the use case for having two accounts?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

The first thing I did after creating an account here was to go to Settings and find the setting to change that. And I mean at least that option exists and is easy to find. My guess is that the feature of suggesting "subs" after creating an account does not exist yet and just showing an empty feed is not that great.

Someone else explained this pretty well in an answer. If that guy is correct neither users from instance B nor C will see the comment from the A instance user. This is because the post is hosted on instance B. And A-B are not federated (because of the block from B's side). This causes the comments from A to not be synched with B and therefore also not with C by proxy.

Thanks that makes sense. I understand that if I'm on a third instance that is federated with both lemmy.world and beehaw.org, and I click on a beehaw.org post then I would not be able to see comments from lemmy.world users. But I would be able to see comments from beehaw.org users and they would see comments from my instance.

undefined> A is either federated with B or it isn’t, there is no “A is federated with B but B is not federated with A”

Maybe I used the word "federated" wrong here. I thought it meant "being linked to another instance". To give an example of what I meant: the instance "lemmy.world" is linked to the instance "beehaw.org" while the instance "lemmy.world" is blocked on "beehaw.org".

I'm new to this. I have one question. Imagine the following setup:

  • Instance A federates with instances B and C
  • Instance B only federates with instance C
  • Instance C federates with instance A and B

Following scenario:

  • Someone on instance B posts something and writes a comment to the post
  • I'm on instance A and I comment on his comment
  • Now someone from instance C comments on my comment

What does a person from instance B see now? I assume he won't see my comment as instance B defederated instance A. But he should see the comment from the instance C guy. But how can he see the reply when the original comment is not visible?
