What a lemmy group does is something akin to “boosting” any content published to it.

So, lets say you make your post from beehaw to lemmy_support on lemmy.ml. lemmy_support will see your post and then “boost” it, so anyone that follows lemmy_support (ie, is subscribed to it) will see the “boost” (though it doesn’t look like a boost through the specialised lemmy interface).

The main issue is that lemmy is basically just 2 devs trying to work around their own lives, jobs and running this instance. Now that more attention is coming to lemmy, it will be interesting to see if they start to get more devs offering their changes to the project

If you’re on beehaw, then beehaw is the source of truth for your posts. Other instances (such as lemmy.ml) will see and store copies of your content (and can choose to reject it outright), but the original is always your own instance.

Make sure you have “undetermined” set in your list of spoken languages. And if you’re the admin of the server, make sure it’s listed as an available language for users to select.

Most content that comes to lemmy doesn’t have language tags, and “undetermined” is the only way to see that content

I believe the closest you can do at the moment is make a community moderators only, and then make the people you want moderators of that community. That isn’t really what you want though, because everyone can still read it.

Crusader Kings and EVE Online. I wish I still had the time to play EVE

They are based on a fork of lemmy that added features that made it incompatible with lemmy. However, there is an active body of work taking place to bring it back to lemmy compatability and allow federation to take place again.

I’m not sure where that work is at though

At the moment, all I see is the apple reality distortion field.

I mean, I’m visible, open and proud every day. I won’t be do anything specifically different this month though, because Pride isn’t until September here (in Spring instead of Winter)

I’m just happy to see more users and more activity. I admin an instance, so I’m not too worried about toxicty, as I can dump any regular sources of trouble

Fans, and a general preference for being hot and sweaty over wearing thick/multiple layers of clothing to avoid the cold

We have open approvals. But lemmy still triggers this email. I leave it on so that I can manually track new joins and check them out if they look questionable

We have open approvals, but also emails when people register. It lets me skim usernames and check out new accounts manually, whilst also having open registration

Full of bitcoinbros.

Mastodon around a year ago. Hopped around to a few mastodon instances before finding alternatives. Been running multiple fediverse instances since then (and none of them are mastodon)

I joined lemmy.ml maybe 6 months ago as I was exploring the fediverse. Fell in love with it, and spun up an instance with my partner. It’s been sitting here quietly most of that time, but has exploded recently!

Why should we just accept that some naïve twitter refugees have misassociated the Fediverse as being just Mastodon?

Because no amount of ideological objection will change the fact that this is exactly what has happened. People are using it this way, and what I was trying to raise here is a way to talk about this particular niche of the web without running in exactly the same problem with lemmy

That’s the best idea I’ve heard yet. It’s not very “cool” but it solves the problem perfectly :)

This

What prompted this was trying to refer to the growth of the userbase on the federated Reddit alternatives as a distinct niche within the fediverse.

Crusader Kings 2/3 and Deep Rock Galactic!

It’s likely your language settings. Make sure the instance (and you as a user) have undetermined listed in your available languages

(This post was set to Undetermined, and you likely won’t see it)

I’d raise my hand, but our own instance is blowing up, so it’s probably not a good idea :)

That’s the way ActivityPub federation works. It’s built on ActivityPub.

There isn’t one that offers federation in the way you want it

It avoids centralisation. You can simply defederate from nazi instances, and the whole platform can’t be sold out from underneath you.

And for someone like me, who is trans and runs several instances for the gender diverse community, I’m able to curate the experience so my users don’t experience constant hate and aggression. So if someone is posting transphobic stuff that doesn’t get actioned on their home instance, I can block that user (or their whole instance) from mine even if I’m not a moderator of the community.

They do replicate

So in this case @gaming@lemmy.ml and @gaming@beehaw.org are two different communities, both of which can be followed, and both of which federate to anyone that follows them.

It’s similar to the way multiple closely related subs can exist on reddit. And it will resolve in the same way, with the users ultimately deciding

The same problem existed on reddit, and it will resolve in the same way. There are often overlapping communities, but ultimately, the users will decide what works, and one or two of them will win out.

You could try https://browse.feddit.de/

It’s a searchable community list rather than an instance list, but it might lead you to finding instances if you see where the group you’re interested in is running from

It’s a bit of both, but it’s also instance specific. Most of it comes from lemmygrad, because there is a lot of cross federation between users and groups on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. On a smaller instance without much interaction with lemmygrad, you won’t see the same scenario

You can always make them if you can’t find them!

It’s my name

One of us! One of us!

There are instances that offer that. And there are instances that prioritise protection of vulnerable minorities over free speech. The advantage of federation

Yeah, we have a lemmy too! Basically, I tried to join some lemmy instances, but had to wait too long for account approval, so we decided to spin up our own instance. There’s no integration at the moment, aside from those included in default federation.

Same admins though :)

Migration support, including your old posts

The lead dev goes by the handle ThatOneCalculator, which is where the name came from, back when it was a single person project :)

Both? I started using it because it’s on the fediverse, and I keep using it because it’s on the fediverse and it isn’t reddit
