- Comment on Whats stopping someone from creating a instance that host illegal content? 10 months ago:
I’ve seen the controversy where lemmy.world defederated from 2 piracy instances.
No they didn’t. They blocked 3 communities from 2 different instances. All other communities on those instances are available to .world users and .world is still available to all users on those two instances.
Blocking individual communities is not the same thing as defederating from those instances.
- Comment on all i simly have for this is KBIN IS NOT LEMMY IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE LEMMY IT IS SIMILAR TO LEMMY BUT ITS NOT THE SAME THE FACT THAT YOU CAN COMMENT ON LEMMY POST DOESN'T JUSTIFY IT BEING LEMMY 10 months ago:
If someone posts from Mastodon to Lemmy, then yeah, that content is now part of Lemmy.

Ah, OK.

Yunohost installs a whole OS - Debian 11 - so you’d be essentially be flattening the drive.

" Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities"
You’re making the right choice. Reddit is definitely the right place for you.

No doubt, but he’s very likely going to be the next PM. Even if the current proposed legislation doesn’t get through the Lords or get scrapped or not implemented before the Tories get booted out, he clearly sees this sort of bill as a good thing and will introduce his own.
- Comment on The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide 11 months ago:
It’s not just the Tories, Keir Starmer has already tried to get VPN’s included in the bill. Don’t kid yourself its going to be any better when Labour get in.

Big fan of Gogs personally. Simple, light and a doddle to install.

Totally your call :)
- Comment on ELI5: How does Lemmy know to not show Mastodon posts? 11 months ago:
A Mastodon user can subscribe to a Lemmy Community in the same way they can Follow a Mastodon user e.g.
Mastodon user: @username@mastodoninstance.org Lemmy Community: @communityname@lemmyinstance.com
So they could now post to that Community and see every direct reply to that post and reply to those replies but they can’t currently just stumble across Lemmy Communities in their federated timeline because Lemmy can’t do that yet.
- Comment on ELI5: How does Lemmy know to not show Mastodon posts? 11 months ago:
Lemmy’s federation code is not as mature as Mastodon’s. Mastodon is probably the most mature codebase in the fediverse. This means that a Mastodon user sees a Lemmy community as just another user, so they can ‘subscribe’ to that community and post to it and join in the comments section of posts they’ve created.
So it’s not so much that Lemmy knows not to show Mastodon content, it’s more that right right now it’s not able to, Lemmy federates very well with other Lemmy instances but not so well with non-Lemmy instances. That will improve as Lemmy gets developed further.
The other thing to bear in mind is that Mastodon and Lemmy present content differently. Mastodon is a microblogging service like Twitter whereas Lemmy is a link aggregator like Reddit. This means that Lemmy content is usually longer and has a title whereas Mastodon content is shorter and has no title. All these things will need to be ironed out as integration deepens.
- Comment on Fediverse equivalent use of TikTok/Instagram/Twitter for short video sharing..need tips on use/platforms/formats 11 months ago:
Give a Firefish (fka Calckey) instance a go. It’s a bit like Mastodon and a bit like Tumblr and a little bit like TikTok.

Right, but if Mali do reclaim all the .ml domains out there then there’s little option? Yes, federation will break for .ml and yes it’ll be like starting over on a fresh instance but only in terms of federation - all the users, communities, posts and comments will still exist, just under a new domain. Once the new domain starts federating people will catch on, especially if the news is posted on the larger instances.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying its not a problem, I’m just not sure its a total disaster either.
- Comment on 11 months ago:
I might be unaware of some technical issues here but why not just get another domain, point it at the server, then update the database to change all references to lemmy.ml to thenewdomain.tld and then make an announcement on a couple of the bigger instances? Federation will take care of propagating the news far and wide. Then, as users hear the news they can just login using the same details and those of us subscribed to Communities on .ml can just update our subscriptions.
I mean, it’s not a perfect solution but it’ll work, surely?
