By no means did i mean that federated platform's wont work, far from it. Im more considering the reputational damage of the platform. For me all the .ml instances unresolvable. And it doesn't look good when the "official" instance is lost. If i were an outsider considering moving to lemmy and i saw vlemmy disappear, lemmy world get hacked, and .ml loosing their domains id be pretty hesitant on making the switch. Thats where i sit for the moment. Lets all hope we can get a good track record going now.

Where I live i cant access any .ml instances so for me even the lemmy.ml is down

This is why we host our instance on a .org. Honestly another huge blow for Lemmy. It doesn't really inspire confidence in the platform. Hopefully after enough time passes smaller instances like us and the bigger ones left will have help up a good track record to inspire confidence again.

Im not sure I doubt it though, let me know if you get it working or not 😅

This is how I search. Click on the search icon in the top right.

Then paste the community you want to search for in the [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) format. Once you click search wait a few seconds and it should come up. Mabye hit the search button a few more times if it doesn't but it should be there with 10 seconds or so.

Once that is done click on the community is the search results, and the community page should open. On the right you will see the community sidebar where you can subscribe

Hope this helps!

I just did a few quick searches and they all worked perfectly for me? Where you using the [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) format?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What server are they on? Like what is after the @ symbol? lemmy.ml? lemmy.world sth else?

 

As this is still a new server the communities you may want to join may not yet be shown on unilem.org. Use a site like lemmyverse to find your favourite communities. Copy the community id eg. [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) and paste in the search. Wait a few seconds and the community will pop up and you can subscribe. If you still need help DM me or reply in the comments.

Im aware that my server may cache illegal content. However this is usually easily delt with. It can simply be removed/user banned and can be purged from the server. This can all be done from the admin settings.

I also dont see the main instances defederating us. Our server will be moderated just as any other main lemmy server would. Just setting it up so that the users from our server can intract with any other server they wish. Any content or anyone who breaks our rules will be removed/banned. Just because we have an open federation policy does not mean there will be a lack of moderation.

Thanks for the legal article has very useful info

 

I just recently set up unilem.org aimed at federating with everyone. Yes this will include meta. Some will like it and others will not but thats the beauty of the fediverse. You can choose your home or even make your own.

The server is still in very early stages but im looking for everyones input on potential issues I could face so I can start getting ahead of the curve of some of them. Im obviously aware of issues such as bot server and illegal content being fetched etc.

Any other tips on hosting or just is general is will be much appreciated. Mabye you know some tools that could help? Im aware this is very ambitious but i think its possible if done right.

Much thanks in advance for the help.

Of course it may not be completely possible to live up to the ideal 100% but as long as i make a best effort i think its still if value to the community.

In regards to meta as we aim to federate with all we will also federate with meta. When it comes to content that crosses the line for me I will personally block it but not on an instance level. And when illegal content is fetched it will be removed and purged form the server so im not worried on that front.

I guess we will see how it goes. Mabye i will be forced one way or another to defederate, but that will only come after all other possibilities are exhausted. I beileve it is possible. Especially with better mod tools. But who knows mabye im wrong. We will find out.

 

Universal Lemmings was setup as I was unhappy with the defederation policy's of other instances that I was on. Other than servers obviously set up for bots/spam we aim to not defederate. We will even federate with bot instances if the community wishes. Though I find that incredibly unlikely.

This instance is still very new so you might need to search out your favorite communities again. Im still working on finishing up backend optimizations but once completed I will begin making more formal announcememts and guides on how to get around.

If you have any questions or concern's feel free to comment, post in the support community or even DM me.

The explanation box is more just to prevent bots, once im confident that the captcha is working as intended I'll likely remove it

 

Im wondering what ways people advertise/grow their lemmy instances. I recently just created mine and would like to put it out there as one of the options. How did you discover your instance and what drew you to it?
