But still with NSFW content blocked because it’s not served through the API, even if you pay.

Removed by mod

Every new account isn’t a bot, though. We don’t have real numbers to work with yet.

I really hope this leads to actual change. Subreddits are becoming meaningless to visit and frustrating for normal users, so hopefully they just stop using reddit altogether.

Apologies, I didn’t get a notification for this reply. The tweet is below, though his feed is nothing but pics of himself at the time of this comment.

Yes and no. It is true that going to reddit to troll reddit benefits reddit in the short term, but I think it’s harmful in the long term. By making /r/pics, /r/gifs, and /r/aww John Oliver themed, /r/wellthatsucks becoming vacuum themed, and /r/interestingasfuck and /r/iOS becoming essentially unmoderated, it is making those communities ultimately pointless, irritating users away from the site, and raising awareness. John Oliver even tweeted about it and provided dozens of pictures for their use, and it’s likely at this point that LWT will do something on the situation when the writer’s strike is over. I’ve only gone to reddit to vote in the troll polls- I don’t think that’s the kind of engagement reddit actually wants at this point.

It’s a protest. It’s meant to be inconvenient. Be mad at the people causing the protest, not the protesters.

We don’t know where the voting is going. The thread is in contest mode, so the sorting is meaningless no matter your sort method.

For a guy who claims the blackout isn’t affecting reddit, he sure is worried about getting the blackout done and over with.

It’s not a silly question at all, and it’s one of the most unintuitive parts of the Fediverse. The most straightforward way is to go to the community you want to subscribe to (you can see a fairly comprehensive list at browse.feddit.de). Copy the URL from that community. Go back to Kbin and paste that URL into the search bar. If it doesn’t show up immediately, wait a few seconds then refresh, and it should.

There is some shorthand to how you can search- for example, searching “!(community name)@(instance home URL)” works as well, but Kbin in particular is a bit odd because it uses an @ for both community and instance, instead of the rest of Lemmy which uses the !. Like I said, the most straightforward way is just to copy the URL itself and figure out the shortcuts later.

You’re very welcome, I’m glad it was helpful. I’m still learning about all this myself.

So the answer to your original question is yes, some instances are closed off from others, but you didn’t mess anything up. Instance A can “defederate” from Instance B, which makes it so that users of either instance cannot see or interact with content or users from the other instance. This is unilateral- even if Instance B does not defederate Instance A, it is still blocked from seeing or interacting with Instance A.

However, with regards to your later questions, you didn’t mess anything up. It’s simply that federation is not retroactive. When the first person from Instance A subscribes to something from Instance B, the two instances are then federated, and content begins being shared from that point forward. It does not retroactively add old content from Instance B to Instance A. For now, it matters relatively heavily, as instances are being federated constantly, even though the content flow is somewhat light. As content flow increases and new instances begin to stabilize, it will matter less. As time goes on, the content “before federation” will be vastly outweighed by the content “after federation”.

This is all somewhat compounded by the fact that lemmy instances are absolutely slammed right now. Kbin.social had to defederate entirely for a while just to keep from crashing. Give it time for the spike to stabilize and it will work more smoothly.

I don’t really need this, I’ve already swapped all my apps and home page to lemmy, but seriously, I had to applaud the name. lemmyreddirectyou… 10/10.

Well that was a frustrating read. I don’t get it. Why are people so okay with reddit treating them like garbage?

As far as I know, no. Hello from someone who was trying to click a different link and this one popped up. I do know they’re working on it on github.

I play Warframe in spurts. There will be weeks where I play basically only Warframe, and months or years in between. Every time I return, I do the same thing. First, I open up the Foundry app and make sure it’s up to date with what I have. Then I go to the Reliquary and select the things I don’t have, then just start making my way through, building the Primes I don’t have. Since you haven’t played in a long time, a lot of the Primes available will be new to you. In the meantime, between relic farming and opening them, I make sure to do the sorties every day. That will get you back into the game, then you can start exploring the new content more once you’re comfortable again.

As far as I know, it’s from when Lemmy had much less activity. The new posts would move your feed, but it would happen very slowly. With the influx of redditors fleeing that site (me included), it seems to be happening more frequently, and I know there’s an open issue on github about it.

The part that confused and pushed me away is the fact that depending on which email server you sign up for, you may not be able to send or receive an email to a server that may or may not already exist. If the person/group that runs the instance you signed up for defederates something, you’re out of luck if you wanted to use that instance without making a dedicated account over there. It also doesn’t help that the federation of different instances isn’t automatic or retroactive. Someone on your instance has to subscribe to something on another instance for the federation to start, and it only starts pulling content from that point forward. If you want to see older content you have to go to that instance at a minimum, and maybe sign up for that instance depending on what it is. Those are the biggest factors against the Fediverse, in my opinion.

Apparently I’m stupid. I just missed the search bar at the top. Thank you!
