Edit: @redyoshi49q@furry.engineer has designed a better solution using only CSS, and this should be used instead of the old script! If you’re reading this page for the first time, ignore this message.
This userstyle adds a red heart next to people that are from your home server, and any other servers that you manually define. Spot your server buddies out in the wild!
Instructions:
-
Install Stylus extension for firefox/chrome
-
“Write new style” in the addon settings
-
Copy paste the CSS code below in
-
Modify the code around line ~11 in order to reflect your homeserver and any additional frendservers that you want to highlight
-
Modify the code around line ~19 to reflect your homeserver
-
(Optional) If you’d like your homeserver buddies to have a different marker, uncomment the various sections around line ~27 through ~50 by removing the /* and */ bits
-
(Optional) Play around with different markers and colors!

Defederation is unintuitive and seriously distributive - there now exists multiple versions of this post with different set of comments and votes depending on who is looking from where. My comments from sopuli.xyz to this post on sh.itjust.works are being send to pawb.social as sopuli and pawb are federated (or because pawb hasn’t defederated on their side?) , but anything happening on pawb.social is not being updated to sh.itjust.works.
You’re correct. comments between other instances still propagate successfully but direct interaction is not allowed. Pawb.social did just overturn its defederation of SJW, so we’re back to normal for the meantime. I’m glad to have seen this happen early on though, it’s good to know about the effects of this type of situation, and what that means for the future
Another interesting consequence is that deletions don’t propagate either. sopuli.xyz and sh.itjust.works both agree it’s deleted, pawb doesn’t so you were able to reply to it. Not that it really matters in this case as the reason was not being sure which way the defederation was actually done, but it’s something to keep in mind when posting stuff here, just like the email comparison people have been using about the fediverse, once you hit send it’s out of your control.
Yeah I’m not sure if there’s like a “refederation queue” that is taking place to sync everything up asynchronously since we literally just hit the redeferate button half an hour ago, but my OP on this page was not the correctly synchronized version either. I had to click edit and resubmit it, which pushed a proper update event.
Events that took place during the defederation period are still a bit wacky. One of my replies from the defederation period did get synced to SJW by itself, but my own personal upvote of the post did not (showed 0 points). After un-upvoting and upvoting again, it properly showed 1 point on SJW
