Turns out federation is a moot point when everyone is in the same server and everywhere else is de-federated anyway because people, mods and instance admins cannot behave.
The real issue is where the communities are, rather than the users. Smaller instances can’t easily attract large communities of people from outside their own, so the larger instances get to run the main communities for everyone. It’s working as intended but it’s all in the numbers.
A lot of the federation links were set up years ago, so I wonder if anyone is even activily trying to federate, like we used to when it all began.
Like, the NSFW instance went down some years ago, and I don’t think anyone from the instance I’m using has bothered federating with a new one with that kind of content, or at least it doesn’t pop up anymore. Which is fine, so I also don’t bother, but for a newcomer it might seem odd that some instances have more connections than others and such.
So lemmy get this right, if I personally subscribe to [email protected] then all users on my instance will eventually have that instance in their all feed?
This is one of the things that were easier in a browser or the older apps. It’s quite tricky to do in Voyager. Can’t even open the instance page.
Whatever. I think I succeeded. There are now naked titties in my feed. I don’t know if that’s good but it feels more right.
I get lots of content from other instances and when I search for communities I see all the instances that such-and-such community? If you have spent any time online you know that large != good community. Yes some are defed’ but that’s fine by me.
I think it’s OK to have specific instances ban certain stuff especially piracy. Those issues concern legal things and risking a general lemmy instance which is fairly large is not worth it. Those things are better put on a dedicated instance that will be tolerant to legal problems. Same rules don’t have to apply to all lemmy instances, each lemmy instance is better with their own set of rules or identities.
Chill. You don’t have to agree with what someone is saying but no need to be a douche.
The whole point of instances is that they can alk have their own rules and you can pick another one if you’re not happy.
Yeah you’re on the ‘anarchist’ instance. Lemmy.world users can’t see the piracy community at all I think. Pretty sure they blocked it. At the very least, there used to be a piracy community on lemmy.world as well but it got banned and deleted.
Oh sorry! I somehow read your comment as if /c/piracy@dbzer0 had closed down piracy and generally started to censor the instance. Don’t ask how misread ?/_-
Wtf man. Fuck North Korea, and any other propaganda. I’m worried about censoring piracy related content mostly. I don’t even know .ml, I’m from .db0.
Speaking about propaganda and fake news, you’re the one jumping to wrong conclusions and thus spread misinformation. You didn’t even bother to check which instance I’m from. You’re such a massive hypocrite.
A mod said modern average dems are to the right of 80s average GOP. I mentioned a few of the many horrors 80s gop started… my comment got deleted and I got banned.
even Obama himself said that if he was in politics in the early 1980’s he’d be considered center-right. That’s how far the GOP has lost the plot; it’s more moderate members look “leftist” by comparison.
I said “center-right.” The GOP was already well on its way to Loony McFruitcakesville after Nixon. Recall that Eisenhower and Teddy Roosevelt were both Republicans, and they are often ranked among Americas’ best presidents; TR even makes #1 on many lists.
I prefer a Lemmy instance that doesn’t censor.

Its a shame I miss when I used to be able to interact with users from other instances.
Are the two of us not on different instances? I might not understand what I thought I did.
You are. You understand.

Just federate yourself, the new one is https://fedinsfw.app/
When I click on this link it just opens the instance in my browser.
You have to subscribe to a community from your instance

I believe legitimately yes though I’m not super positive. I just see it scroll across my all feed already.

define behave.
because according to chunks of lemmy userbase my non-murderous and not extremist views are hostile and akin to being a pedophile nazi grandma rapist.
just owning a car or owning a playstation/nintendo here is unforgivable sin.
I agree, it’s sad what has become of db0.
Agreed.
Context?
Anything about piracy is blocked, as well as other content. I’m all for moderation, but I’m against censorship.

Yeah, choke on that billionaire corporate dick real good like you’re supposed to. Good boy

What have I missed? I signed up for the piracy friendly perspective - https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy is still here?

Damn… Looks like I gotta move my account from World.
.world has that community blocked.
Like when they told someone I know to stop posting a retort to one user who signed all of their comments that they couldn’t be trained for AI.
Because that sounds like censorship.

.World mods will ban you for debunking disproven pro West propaganda.
Nonconfrontational… Interesting choice of a name for you.
Thanks :)
.ml mods will ban you for criticizing 1980s GOP
Uhh, what?

Hard to believe when you look at the actual platform for 80s GOP vs Obama’s platform. Dramatically different.

Have any good suggestions for a decent non-tankie instance that doesn’t censor and allows downvoting? I’m only on .world out of laziness.
.zip leaves it to the user to block what they want and it doesn’t have a habit of defederating.
sh.itjust.works
No complaints here about lemmy.today :)
I started on .world and tried a couple instances before I settled happily with lemmy.today
Dbzer0, which is focused on piracy and for autism/ADHD spectrum, pro lgbtq and pro trans. It is blocked by .world.
No, .world does not block dbzer0, only its piracy community
I think I just found my new home. Thank you.
.ml
.ml admins delete comments and give out instance bans for saying the wrong opinion.
Racist opinions?

Back at ya, buddy. Authoritarian bootlickers don’t belong on leftist platforms. Go away.
Hahaha lemmy.world is not a leftist platform. It’s very pro capitalist and pro democratic party.
