It’s definitely a major feature which requires changes to most parts of the code. So maybe a week or two for the initial implementation (or more if you are unfamiliar with the stack). I don’t think these multilemmys would have to federate at all, so you don’t have to know anything about Activitypub.

Definitely. lemmy.ml previously had like one new user per day, now its a few dozen per day.

Dessalines and I are busy with other things, so we wont be able to work on this anytime soon. But contributions are always welcome :)

You can see it here by enabling only the “blocked” checkbox: https://lemmymap.feddit.de/

Make sure to checkout a tag like 0.17.2 in both repos. We are currently removing websocket support, so its already gone from the backend. In the frontend this is not finished yet.

Did you try to reload the page? Which browser are you using?

There are a few other big instances which are not listed because they don’t federate. However none of them can be considered general purpose. I hope this migration wave will lead to new instances being created.

However lemmy.ml also used to be more general purpose, until it focused more on specific topics that the users care about. So maybe it’s just the way Lemmy works that general purpose instances get more topic specific over time.

Its too much in English and too many people from United States.

That sounds like relays, there are already many different ones for Mastodon at least.

Fact check me if I’m wrong but I heard that 3 or more nuclear ICBMs hitting Earth at the same time could literally pull us off balance and we could all freeze or burn to death in seconds.

There were already over 2400 tests of nuclear weapons. A few more won’t make any difference.

100 houses with huge private gardens. If you get rid of the private gardens, it leaves lots of space for nature and common spaces.

Because we don’t have millions of usd in venture capital funding. Just donations and volunteer work.

Luckily police in my country doesnt have time to go around stealing bikes.

most adults know that second hand bikes are routinely stolen and resold for cash, and buying one without clear provenance is a risky endeavor,

If police come after you because you bought a used bike, you already live in a police state. Most of the world isn’t like that.

Users can signup and create communities (blogs). These are automatically set to “only mods can post” by the frontend. This way there can be multiple blogs per user. There are already Writefreely and Plume which work more or less like that afaik.

I was thinking of a frontend to turn Lemmy into a blogging software. I think the backend has all the required functionality. An image gallery could also be good, like scrolller.com.

Communities are completely independent from one another, even if they happen to share the same name. So if you are banned from community A, you can still post in community B. Another matter are instance bans, if you are banned from an instance then none of your posts will be visible there, or in any of its communities.

Also its called football.

Vielleicht ist es auch andersrum, und es kommen so viele zu Mastodon weil es am meisten erklärt wird immer wenn es ums Fediverse geht. Ich denke die meisten kennen Mastodon schon, aber andere Fediverse-Plattformen sind noch eher unbekannt.

Lemmy requires a moderator for communities, which is the user who initially created the group. If it were created automatically that would leave the group unmoderated. It wouldnt even be possible to edit the description or upload an avatar, let alone ban trolls. So this seems like a bad idea.

It would be possible to implement that (Mastodon has it), but there are no current plans to implement it in Lemmy. After all its easy to create a new account.

Can you tell what the differences are?

There is an open issue, contributions welcome!

You can definitely open issues in the Lemmy repo if there are any problems federation with other platforms. To publish the results of your testing you can also simply make a post in !fediverse@lemmy.ml or !lemmy@lemmy.ml. Doing this will be really helpful to make federation better.

What is this Snort and who is using it? Never heard of Meraki either. Anyway people who are affected by that can just sign up on another instance. And changing domains is not possible with federation.

Its the same for posts or comments, you need to paste the url in the search bar of your instance. For this you should copy the url from the colorful fedilink icon.

It sounds like you might be interested to host a new Lemmy instance. Right now the number of instances is still limited, and most of them cover niche topics. So it would definitely be good to have a Lemmy instance that is more mainstream. Hosting an instance requires some technical knowledge, but you can always ask for help in /c/lemmy_support or find someone else to take care of that aspect.

Creating a community on an existing instance is less effort. However it means that the instance admins have full control over your community, and you have to follow their rules. There is also no way to automatically migrate a community to another instance. Having your own instance gives you full control over the rules/moderation, and also lets you apply custom themes or change instance configuration (eg signup mode).

Thats not really how federation works. If you want Mastodon to render the data differently, you have to ask the Mastodon devs.

You can create a Lemmy account. If you are talking about Mastodon, you need to open an issue in their repo.

cc @dessalines@lemmy.ml

Thats not currently possible, you can open an issue. Or implement a bot which removes non-text posts automatically.

In that case you can contact instance admins to remove the mod.

I dont think I found anything useful back then. So you can fill in the issue template and post it here, then someone can copy it to Github.

That depends entirely on the community where the post was made. If the community is on lemmy.ml, then the deletion federates to all other instances (including yours I think). Otherwise, if a lemmy.ml admin deletes a post in a remote community, that action isnt federated at all. At least thats how it should work, might be worth testing to confirm.

Its not so difficult to implement functionality that remote content can be fetched automatically on demand like you describe. It just takes a certain amount of work, and so far we are busy with other things. These things take time when there are only two developers funded with donations, and not some startup with millions in venture capital.

You can also fetch comments by pasting the url from the colorful fedilink icon into the search. For example https://feddit.it/comment/63117.

You should open an issue in that apps repository.

The difference is, the moderators moderation action will federate to other instances, but the instance admins will not.

Unless the admin and community are on the same instance, then admin actions will federate. Not so easy to explain…

It works just fine.
