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.

Have you found any articles comparing the two IRL, rather than just by specs? I've struck out looking for YouTube videos. I expect that's due to the Defy being new.

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

Just woke up. Kinda hung over. Partially-eaten mac & cheese on stove. Was out of bacon. Used fried hot dogs and frozen broccoli instead. Added ranch. Demon gone. Smell of sulfur lingers. Left soul. Took wallet? Might have been fat, gassy neighbor and not demon. Was pretty drunk.

Nah dawg, he's not down with that. But thanks for trying.

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?

TIL. Thanks!

My understanding is that a Lemmy Instance Admin has control over Users and Communities originating on their Instance, and can (in extreme circumstances) defederate from another Instance, so that Users and Communities from that Instance are not visible to their Instance's Users.

An individual Lemmy User can block a specific User or Community, but not yet an Instance (though that feature appears to be planned.)

Therefore you might want to simply block the offensive User or Community.

If you feel strongly about reporting, then you should contact the Admin of the Instance hosting the Community.

If your report isn't resolved to your satisfaction then you may want to escalate to the Admin of your Instance to inquire about blocking the Community for all Users on your Instance, or even defederating from the offending Instance (though this is the "nuclear option" as it would affect ALL Communities and Users from that Instance.)

tl;dr You have the power to block Communities you don't like. That option is found in the Sidebar.

Edited to include @Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world's option.

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

I think we'll probably end up with Gen 1 of Google's Samsung Dex competitor, but "ChromeOS-mode" would be a welcome surprise.

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!

Second for Today Weather, but I also use Google Weather as an app.

Maybe https://www.khanacademy.org?

True, and backpacking bidets are inexpensive enough that I bought one before being convinced that I'm going to bring it along. I just haven't been to bring myself to try it.

I suppose what I'm looking for is the adoption ratio of people who have tried them, if that makes sense.

Like, there are some people who will throw out any food that touches the floor. Then there are the majority of folks who believe in the "5-second rule." And there are some who would eat an M&M they discovered off the floor of a dive bar bathroom. I'm personally a "5-second rule."

I figure bidet adoption probably has a similar spectrum, and I'm asking for input from folks at neither extreme who have tried them.

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!

As a lemmy user, you should (assuming everything is working correctly) be able to follow any magazine on Kbin exactly as if it was a community on Lemmy, so no need for FOMO.

This is what I was hoping to hear. Thanks.

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.

Can you elaborate?

I read that Kbin defederated with Lemmy because it couldn't initially handle the influx of new users migrating from Reddit, but that it has federated again.

So is it a Lemmy instance, like Beehaw?

I know that Kbin doesn't use communities ("/c/") but uses magazines ("/m/") so I thought it was different.

I also read that there was some new way to post to Lemmy from Mastadon, but I thought those were different, like Reddit and Twitter. But they both rely on something called "ActivityPub"?

So is Kbin similar to Lemmy (by being Reddit-like), but distinct like Mastadon (which is Twitter-like)?

I didn't have a Twitter account, but was a heavy Reddit user. I don't have a Mastadon account, but I'm liking Lemmy. However I have some FOMO about Kbin because I don't understand how it all works together.

True, but the writer's room is the real star of R&M and it's been reported that Roiland stopped collaborating there years ago. Hopefully it'll only be disconcerting for a minute or two, but Solar Opposites being first to have a clip out could make it harder for R&M to pull off "<Belch.> I just sound different now! Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!" without looking like a copycat.

I made a slight modification to your bookmarklet asking to which instance you are migrating, which produces a list of links you can paste into something like https://www.openallurls.com so it becomes just a matter of clicking all of the "Subscribe" buttons:

javascript:(function() {
  const currentHostname = window.location.hostname;
  const tld = prompt("Please enter the name of the instance to which you are migrating:");
  const table = document.getElementById('community_table');
  const anchorTags = table.getElementsByTagName('a');
  const communityUrls = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < anchorTags.length; i++) {
    const title = anchorTags[i].title.substring(1);
    const parts = title.split('@');
    const community = parts[0].trim();
    const domain = parts[1] ? parts[1].trim() : currentHostname;
    const communityUrl = `https://${tld}/c/${community}@${domain}`;
    communityUrls.push(communityUrl);
  }

  const urlsText = communityUrls.join('\n');

  navigator.clipboard.writeText(urlsText)
    .then(() => {
      alert('Community URLs copied to clipboard!');
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      alert('Failed to copy Community URLs to clipboard:', error);
    });
})();
