Not much to be honest, it helps take the load of wefwef’s own site and this instance should be quicker as well.
Also an advantage for me is that I added a feature in wefwef so I can approve or deny registration applications but the code hasn’t been approved in the main app yet so I wanted to deploy my own version with that in it!
Hey I've just made a post about the verification emails but could you send me a PM with the email in question please?
I'm in the process of buying a flat at the moment and the solicitors are taking their time, I can't tell if that is just how it is or if it's their fault to be honest. The updates we get from them sounds like they are following up enquiries from the seller's solicitors but who knows. We were hoping to complete soon but looks like it might be another month or two before that happens.
I think for some solicitors, conveyancer is low priority as there isn't much money involved and there is no pressure to get it done quickly, which is why it can drag on.
Blocked instances can be found here https://feddit.uk/instances
The one blocked atm is https://burggit.moe/
No worries made a comment in the other thread but I've enabled captcha and email verification
After a second thought, I'll keep the blocklist free of political instances, even though most I personally disagree with. In terms of any large ones which are grey areas of legality (loli and stuff like that), yeh I'm protecting my own back by blocking them.
That does mean the blocklist is only 1 atm, I'll keep an eye on what other big instances are blocked by other instances and keep the blocklist updated by doing that. Realistically a lot of the ones I would want to block will be so small I wouldn't notice them so that list will be kept fairly thin I imagine. (I'm not gonna be like beehaw or even feddit.de who have fairly large blocklists)
I get the frustration of having stuff blocked which might feel restrictive, so I'll try and keep the blocklist as small as possible but I do still think some should be blocked.
Yeh sorry about that, have enabled all languages
Yeh I've just enabled them all sorry about the confusion, didn't think selecting a language for the instance would be so restrictive.
Yeh you're right that's even less intuitive from a UX perspective Changed to both undetermined and English
Ah ffs I completely misread that box
I read it as, if you select Undetermined you will not see most content, the double negative really threw me. So on the instance admin I selected our language as English which I'll change to undetermined now as it might explain a lot of the federation issue we've been having.
Yeh just fixed it, I need to find a better way of updating the wefwef site as atm, every update to the instance will break the wefwef site lol. Problem for another day
