This is more of a question for the admins, but this can certainly be a more open discussion.
Per this thread, beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works two months ago, around the time that the reddit exodus was happening. Lemmy was blowing up, those instances had an open sign-up policy, and this meant that admins of other instances (like Beehaw) that wanted to heavily moderate their communities became quickly overwhelmed with the number of users from these two instances. Beehaw defederated to make the workload more realistic.
Two months on, I’m wondering if this defederation is still necessary. It seems to me that Lemmy overall has slowed down a lot, and maybe the flow of users from these outside servers would not be as overwhelming as it was before? I respect the decision of the admins one way or the other - I know that the lack of moderation tools was another factor in this decision. I’m just curious if this is something that has been considered recently?
All on beehaw? Because if so those aren’t from the instances we’re talking about.
no all on sync. it shows like lemmy.ml and stuff. tbf idrk how this works
edit: I’m so sorry it’s actually called everything
That’s still “all”. Sync just calls it everything.
but that’s still beehaw
If you’re signed into Beehaw you won’t see lemmy.world content anywhere (including in all/everything).
If you sign with an account from somewhere else that “everything” feed will be different.
“Local” is communities only from your signed in instance. “All” will include posts from communities anyone from your instance has subscribed to (and they can only subscribe to communities from federated instances).
what? i never claimed to see lemmy.world I said other instances… it shows @lemmy.ml etc
How does that relate to staying defederated then? Or are you calling for more of it? I don’t care either way, just curious.
