So I personally would be against it because rn the ‘All’ feed on Dataterm and the ‘Federated’ feed on CORTEX are our users’ eye into the internet. It’s what our users want to see collectively. If we used a relay we would see everything instead. I don’t know how the other mods/admins feel about it but I’m guessing similarly. Also, the point of the federation is that you the user are the algorithm in a way, and using a relay would kind of break that imo.

I don’t think we would use it on dataterm.digital. We don’t on corteximplant.com

This thread has been added to the DATATERM Community: Newbie Question Mega Thread

The issue will be fixed in a Lemmy update.

There exist ActivityPub relays that are basically already filled indexes that you can connect to a Mastodon instance. This is what it says in the admin settings:

A federation relay is an intermediary server that exchanges large volumes of public posts between servers that subscribe and publish to it. It can help small and medium servers discover content from the fediverse, which would otherwise require local users manually following other people on remote servers.

Yes

Every instance has a list of instances that it is federated with (that the server sees). Feddit.de is a bigger instance than dataterm.digital, it has more users, which means that it is federated with more instances. It doesn’t mean that you can’t view the instances from here. You can paste the !community@instance.tld to the dataterm searchbar and if this community wasn’t on the federated list it now will be. That’s why more users = more posts on the All feed.

This is something that has to be fixed by lemmy.ml admins I think

Seems like it, yes

https://lemmy.ml/c/worldbuilding is a 404 page (the community doesn’t exist). It’s very weird, because https://lemmy.ml/c/worldbuilding@lemmy.ml exists. I’ll experiment and come back to you.

Search for local instances on lemmy.ml:

It’s very indie but I’ve actually worked on Danger Scavenger (and on this trailer a bit too!)

Maybe you would wanna add it to the list https://questlog.app/games/danger-scavenger
