- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 6 months ago:
Thanks for sharing. The default launcher on my phone is terrible and I hate having to move to different layouts every time I switch phones (which only happens every 5+ years, but is still annoying) so I have been using Nova for many years.
Just turned off its internet access on both data and wifi, let’s see if it complains about it.

Looks like Reddit’s blocking embedding their own images. How about you replace the link in the OP with an imgur one, or upload that meme to your instance’s pictrs?
Here, have a link: imgur.com/1eKVLRc
- Comment on Bernie Sanders backs US attack on Yemen 9 months ago:
Based Bernie. Even the wording “attack on Yemen” is a bit misleading, everyone including the Yemeni govt hates the Houtis.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 9 months ago:
I didn’t, up until yesterday night when you mentioned it. Had a quick Google search and read the wikipedia page, holy fuck there’s some sick people out there. But I still fail to see how defed.xyz could help them doxx or otherwise harass people.
I don’t to be the author of software used for harassment, obviously, but I don’t think you could use my tool for that, even if you wanted to.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 9 months ago:
Well of course I can’t guarantee that I would be convinced, even after hearing that but explanation aside
Just because data is publicly scrape-able doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to do so.
Isn’t it? If, an instance admin, has the possibility of hiding some data to the public and refuses to do so, it’s either:
- Because they are fine with the public accessing it
- Because they are ignorant and unaware of such a feature, which I honestly don’t think is an acceptable excuse (after all users have entrusted this person with their data, ffs)
At the end of the day what I am doing is nothing more than what any user could do by checking the “Moderated servers” section of the about page of any Mastodon instance.
I’m sorry but I’m really am not seeing the logic behind your point.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 9 months ago:
I’m sorry could you please elaborate on why the rest of the Fediverse would be enraged, or how this could be used for harassment? I don’t think I follow. I’ll admit, I only interact with the Fediverse through Lemmy so maybe there’s some dynamics of the Masto-sphere I’m not picking up.
My understanding is that Mastodon admins can choose to hide their
/domain_blocksendpoint to either outside users or even to all non admins. (source), and as a matter of fact almost a thousand of the 1700 Mastodon instances I’m querying already do so, so really I can only get the federation status of the few hundred that remain.I think the admins that prefer not to show their defeds, in fear of harassment, are already hiding them, so it should be ok for me to query the remaining ones.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 9 months ago:
Nice! Glad you were able to find and fix an issue with your instance.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 10 months ago:
Yeah sure. Assuming you are only targeting Lemmy instances (other softwares make this a bit more complicated), A “can interact” with B if:
- A hasn’t blocked B
- B hasn’t blocked A
- Neither A nor B are on allowlist. If either is on allowlist, it must have explicitly added the other one to its allow list (this is very uncommon, the only big instance using allow lists is hexbear.net)
So, to verify this, you could query the Defed Investigator with the instances you care about, one at a time. Only select the softwares you care about (likely only Lemmy) to make the query faster. Say you wanted to verify the compatibility between
lemmy.worldandsh.itjust.works(just making an example). Go to defed.xyz/check?name=sh.itjust.works&software=lem…- ✔
lemmy.worlddoesn’t appear in the “Instances defederated from sh.itjust.works” (this means .world hasn’t blocked SJW) - ✔
lemmy.worlddoesn’t appear in the “Instances defederated by sh.itjust.works” (this means SJW hasn’t blocked .world) - ✔
lemmy.worlddoesn’t appear among the “Instances not allowing sh.itjust.works” (this means .world isn’t on allowlist. Again, this is very uncommon)
Also make sure the instance you are looking for isn’t among the “Instances that returned errors”, of course.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 10 months ago:
Uh interesting. Did you have any fancy custom configuration? Maybe you were blocking all requests to other hosts or something like that? I also have ublock origin and it didn’t give me any troubles.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 10 months ago:
I have, even Nutomic asked me to, but the thing is I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to Rust. That was my first Rust project ever and the Lemmy backend is big and scary. I would rather gain some proficiency with the language first. Plus, it would likely have to be structured somewhat differently than my implementation if it was integrated into Lemmy proper.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 10 months ago:
Ah so you were querying
programming.dev? In that case I got:
0 defederated from; 3 not allowing; 111 defederated from and 462 federatedWhere are you running it from? Because… it works on my device.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 10 months ago:
Hi. Yeah, both are still active, up and running.
User flairs are currently invisible on my instance because I didn’t get the chance to update my modded UI to the most recent Lemmy version, but the microservice itself is still perfectly operational.
- Comment on Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator 10 months ago:
Actually I don’t. After having tested it on the biggest mbin instances, it worked fine on:
- fedia.io
- kbin.run
- kbin.melroy.org
- thebrainbin.org
- rimworld.gallery
- gehirneimer.de
- mbin.0ut0f.space
However I did get the error on:
- kbin.chat
- kbin.life
So whatever it is, it’s not just you. I’m afraid I can’t investigate any further without looking at some instance logs, though.

There seems to be some problem with your instance’s API. While the federation page works fine, when polling the defederation API at
moist.catsweat.com/api/defederated
I getting the following error:
{ "type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10", "title": "An error occurred", "status": 500, "detail": "Internal Server Error" }
this gets interpreted as an error, which is why the green “Instances defederated by …” sections is empty.

- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 10 months ago:
I’m not too familiar with the drama but any time I visit kbin.social there’s some error or outage going on. Also the documentation is pretty lackluster, developing 3rd party tools for kbin is pretty much impossible.
Mbin looks way more promising, if anything because of the better docs, new features and community-driven direction it’s taking. I hope most kbin users jump ship.
- Comment on No, not you. 10 months ago:
Yeah no thanks, you can post your pedo bullshit on rqd2, burggit or wherever but not here. You won yourself a ban and a place inside my woodchipper.
- Comment on Already 110 instances updated to 0.19.2! 10 months ago:
Looks like FediDB is a little drunk lol. Anywaty thanks for the reminder, Blaze. Gonna update mine right now.
- Comment on i don't get it 10 months ago:
It might not be as weird as the bottom one, but I already find the top image to be pretty weird, especially their clothing. I also wouldn’t really describe it as “flamboyant”.
- Comment on Lemmy Webhook - add webhook support to your Lemmy instance 10 months ago:
I have a bit too much stuff going on in my life right now to focus on changing my Lemmy stack, I’ll have to stick to my current setup for the time being.
But I am very much interested in the package. Gonna leave a star on its repo and hopefully I’ll remember to come back to this once my hands are a bit less full than they are now.
- Comment on Lemmy Webhook - add webhook support to your Lemmy instance 10 months ago:
Hey this is pretty cool! I wanted something similar for my instance, with a webhook notifying me of any application request, so I can get a notification and react as soon as possible. Well, I ended up having to implement that from scratch within my @AutoMod@lemmy.basedcount.com bot. A solution like this would probably be WAY more efficient than my current setup (with a client continuously polling for new applications). Good stuff!
- Comment on Solid - SSO (not only) for the fediverse 10 months ago:
I think apps would need to be rewritten from the ground up with ActivityPods as a basis instead of every software’s ActivityPub implementation. Very interesting technology and it definitely does solve a shortcoming that the Fediverse tends to have at the moment. (Mastodon sorta has a SSO implementation of its own but other services lack it and it’s quite the issue). But I am afraid most Fedi developers won’t rebuild their apps just for this.
- Comment on Biden launches reelection campaign with fraudulent claim to defend democracy against Trump 10 months ago:
What a nice and unbiased source.
In fact, the “central cause” of Biden’s presidency has been the expansion of imperialist war. Even as he spoke, his secretary of state, Antony Blinken, was on his way to the Middle East to coordinate the ongoing US/Israeli genocide in Gaza and the expansion of the war into Lebanon, Yemen and Iran.
I am kinda indifferent to the outcome of the election, but all of this political popcorn is very enjoyable. Looks like we have some fun times ahead!
- Comment on Is it possible to publish posts about Lemmy from your Wordpress blog? If this post appears in the @wordpress@lemmy.world community then this hypothesis will be confirmed! 10 months ago:
A bit hard to tell from the post here in !fediverse@lemmy.world but yes, it did work. Link.
Ottimo lavoro, InformaPirata!
- Comment on Also applies to a bunch of other identities 10 months ago:
Yeah this is their alt, their main is on burggit. But of course we (as well as 52 other sane instances) defederated from them, so they needed a .world alt to post here.
Sauce (yeah it’s a burggit link but it’s safe)
- Comment on Also applies to a bunch of other identities 10 months ago:
It’s a pedo flag.
- Comment on Also applies to a bunch of other identities 10 months ago:
I thought I had seen that flag somewhere else, but had to go through a pretty long rabbit hole to find what it actually was. Let me save you all a google search.
That is the M.A.P. flag
The “MAP Pride” flag. Made originally likely as a prank flag by a Tumblr user, it is now adopted by MAPs. The term MAP, which stands for “Minor Attracted Person,” refers to any adult with an attraction to minors. Pedophiles, Hebephiles, Ephebophiles, are under this definition.
Fuck off with this pedo shit, OP. Should have seen it coming when you mentioned burggit.
- Comment on Feddit.UK has finally kicked the bucket- and what happens next. 10 months ago:
Seems to be up now. But I get your concerns, having an instance with an inactive head admin and redundance of sysadmins isn’t great. Best of luck for your new instance!
