Comment on Why is programming.dev federated with exploding heads?
Ategon@programming.dev 9 months agoYeah, the goal is mainly to get everyone in the fediverse able to participate in the coding chats as long as they’re respectful about it rather than being a free speech absolutism instance. An ideal scenario would be allowing users to participate in here while limiting the posts in their communities to not show up
Decision should be pushed out soon, just making sure we getting everything hammered out and been a bit slower due to vacations

That’s much more reasonable than I expected =D I’d argue they can make an account on another instance if they want to participate

Yeah thats why defederation isn’t as bad of a decision currently while things get coded. It ruins a bit of the fediverse mechanics though of only needing one account to interact with different sites which is why having them interact in the instance communities while their outside posts are hidden is ideal
The main sorts used in the instance are local new, local active, and subs which is what we are mainly optimizing for. Default sort when people make an account is local active which is a bit different from some other sites that default to all
