  • Sidebar is bilingual. Most of the French speaking Canadian communities are on Lemmy.ca, the rest on Jlai.lu

  • That's also the thing. I want the least worse instance. Not being able to post at the moment is a far bigger issue than being federated with lemmy.ml

    Hopefully in the coming days this gets fixed.

  • Admin told me on Matrix it is indeed due to the beta

  • If you got an account that quickly, that would speak positively to how responsive the main instance admin is? It is hard to tell b/c of how Lemmy hides precise dates starting at the 1-month mark, but before then the admin seemed to always respond to inquiries within a day?

    It was automated, I got the email directly, validated it, and that was it.

    That’s super weird that you cannot access the site.

    Now I can browse, but cannot post. Maybe a trial period to avoid spammers.

  • How do I block users from an instance of my choice?
  • There are only 9 instances that have >1k monthly active users, and none of those defederate from Lemmy.ml. And people have been talking about this issue for months now, so if I missed a mid-sized instance I would have hoped that someone would have mentioned it by now.

    Don't forget that a lot of users have historical lemmy.ml accounts from before the exodus. I know a few lemmy.ml users that are nice, and it's kind of hard to tell them to switch instances because their admins can do some power tripping.

  • For Beehaw, it's for historical reasons. In June 2023 LW and SJW became the largest instances, and hence had the largest number of toxic users. Beehaw estimated that the moderators were not doing enough to moderate those users, thus defederated.

    If you look at Beehaw, they are still on 0.18.3. It's unclear whether they will switch to another software like Piefed or Mbin, but they don't want to update to the latest Lemmy versions.

    Being defederated from LW and SJW cuts them from most of the users and content, but they seem happy that way.

  • How do I block users from an instance of my choice?
  • @OpenStars@piefed.social FYI Lemmy.cafe is quite slow for me, and I can't create posts. Might be due to using the 0.19.6-beta version of Lemmy

  • What happens if you hide them in your Lemmy settings? But maybe a question to ask on the Voyager community

  • Well, seems like we are not there yet:

  • I just had a look at lemmy.cafe, and noted that they actually have 4 admins. I'll open an alt and see how things go.

  • How do I block users from an instance of my choice?
  • The default sort for someone without an account is not Local but rather All, for that reason. Someone would have to specifically switch the default to Local in order to see that? At a guess, it is just mismatched expectations - presuming that in addition to using that instance to access the Fediverse, that it would offer content of its own. Which it does but… barely. I am not sure why that should be a default expectation though?

    If you look at an instance, you want to know what it is about and what the local community is like. It would be better to have an empty local feed than a feed dominated by crypto content.

  • You can hide downvotes in your account settings

  • Valid points. I would just hope lemmycafe would get another admin, so that they could become a more solid proposition.

    As a British person, I think living under Keir has made me even more apathetic to the US’s faux-democracy.

  • Yes, I remember seeing it a while ago.

    Once Piefed gets mobile apps established instances might consider switching to it

    Trying to avoid US elections content as a non-US citizen. Is this possible on the default Lemmy-UI? I prefer it over Tesseract and Voyager (which have built-in keyword filters)

    Hello everyone,

    Basically title. At the moment I use the "hide post" feature when I see this kind of posts in generic communities (e.g. !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world ), but I was curious to see if anyone had another option, such as maybe a tampermonkey script?

    Thank you for your help.

    A member of the French instance Jlai.lu suggests to defederate hexbear due to their problematic behaviours, including calls to violence. Hexbear members arrive, call for the destruction of Paris

    Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?

    Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new !stardewvalley@lemm.ee taking over !stardewvalley@lemmy.ml

    !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for additional context on those recent events if you are interested

    Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

    Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I'm trying to keep !simracing@lemmy.ml active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities

    !world@lemmy.world mod states that the MBFC bot is pushed by the instance admins. Instance admin and bot creator denies. Users ask for clarification. Mod ignores.

    Disclaimer: The issue here is not completely related to the bot presence, but more about the justification used. People would probably be less annoyed if the mods stated "this is our decision, and it is final", rather than to try to use admins as an excuse.
