    Now I feel dumb.

    That didn’t work earlier.

    I just went to copy the error message I saw before and… it’s working.

    Maybe because I switched back to Namecheap’s nameserver? Or maybe because I cleared my cache again? Or maybe because I game it some more propagation time?

    Or maybe magic?

    Each potential reason seems equally likely to me.

    Thanks






  • ChatGPT and I came up with this bookmarklet which I’m using until this is resolved.

    You set your home instance, then just click it when on a post on another instance. It grabs the post title and the author, redirects to a post search of the title on your home instance, and copies the author to your clipboard to Ctrl-F if there are too many results.

    You have to be pretty quick on the draw to be able to enable clipboard access when using it on a new instance for the first time. So it’s like a game, too.

    javascript:(function(){
      let instance = "lemm.ee";
      const personListing = document.querySelector('.person-listing');
      const author = personListing.getAttribute('title');
      navigator.clipboard.writeText(author);
      alert("Post author copied to clipboard.\n\nCtrl-F + Crtl-V when redirected, if necessary.");
      var title = document.title;
      var lastDashIndex = title.lastIndexOf(" - ");
      if (lastDashIndex !== -1) {
        title = title.substr(0, lastDashIndex);
      }
      var encodedTitle = encodeURIComponent(title);
      let search = "https://" + instance + "/search?q=" + encodedTitle + "&type=Posts";
      window.location.href = search
    })();
    


  • I’ve seen this site suggested in posts like this:

    spoiler

    https://fba.ryona.agency

    I’m using the spoiler tag because elsewhere I’ve seen this warning about the site:

    run by people from kiwifarms (a known bad actor on the fediverse).

    I’m unfamiliar with “kiwifarms” but the site currently does has some offensive language at the bottom that’s associated with 4chan, so be warned.

    That said, it appears to be the only site currently available to see which instances in the fediverse have blocked/defederated your instance. (The reverse of <instance domain>/instances, which only shows which instances your instance has blocked/defederated.)
