  • The next best solution

    Interesting, I’ll check it out once it’s back up.

    If it’s automatically connect to “friends-of-friends” instances and subscribe to all communities, that’s a great idea! It would basically crawl the known network as long as there was a single link between instances. It would particularly be a boon to smaller instances that would be much easier to connect to.

    If it’s a regular instance ran as a community server with the aim of manually subscribing to everything as an emergency solution to this problem then eh… I literally did that a year ago with like 20 instances. I think that’s not feasible, or even worse - exclusionary without intending. If it’s all manual and everybody goes there because we think it’s all-encompassing… If one is not on the list they don’t exist to the world.





  • The link also refers to BB: The number of instances that this instances is completely Blocked By. If this number is high, then users on this instance will be limited in what they can see on the lemmyverse. and lists how many other instances every server on that list are blocked by.

    When it comes to the overselling of Lemmy and the interconnectivity, what can I say? I’d word it very differently.

    Anyways, from a technical point of view I’d say it’s close to what you describe - With third party instances working as an intermediary in some way. The issue is that there’s no “sync” for communities and historically we end up with three different versions of i.e. !gaming, one on each instance. What Lemmy need is some sort of multi-reddit/funneling/taggins system so you can just post to a !gaming community - And then it’d be rejected by those who’ve blocked you. But everybody else would get it.











  • If it doesn’t show up when you search for !humor@beehaw.org it means your server doesn’t know about it. You’ll have to be the first to subscribe to it and thus get it sent to your server.

    All communities have this format:

    https://instance.tld/c/communityname

    You should be able to manually type in beehaw.org/c/humor and it should pop up. The pull can take longer than a regular search, try refreshing if nothing happens.

    If STILL nothing happens, visit beehaw and browse their instance list. Is this one blocked? If it is, you’re out of luck because it won’t work. If it isn’t, you’re out of luck because I don’t know what could be wrong.



  • on your instance you shud ban but

    haha evil wins again!

    Jokes aside, most offensive posts mostly originates from different instances with vastly different user culture. Downvoting posts works in the way that it lowers the visibility on your server but the offending poster might be on an instance that disregards downvotes so they “won’t get the message”.

    It’s much more effective to just block the poster, or the whole community if one so desires.
