Yeah that would work. I also recommend you to check Lemmy Federate.

Allow list is explicit. If you allow at least one instance, all others will be blocked. You only allowed the following instances:

• lemmy.world
• sh.itjust.works
• beehaw.org
• programming.dev

Absolutely. Sometimes I can be hard to understand (since English is not my native language), thanks for the clarity :)

Interesting. I didn’t realize my instance wasn’t federated with Piefed. I’ll contact the Piefed admins about this.

However, this issue is probably not related to Lemmy Federate because Piefed.social doesn’t even use it.

IIRC Lemmy and Mastodon PMs are different and incompatible. If you can receive PMs from Lemmy users then you should be able to receive auth codes. Currently @rikudou@lemmings.world is adding both Lemmy and Mastodon PMs here: https://github.com/ismailkarsli/lemmy-federate/pull/33

Also software other than Lemmy and Mbin needs to add ‘roleName: Administrator’ to their user webfinger requests. This is because ActivityPub doesn’t have a standard way to expose user roles.

I’m thinking of adding another ways of verifying like DNS based verification but still not sure. Any recommendations are welcome :)

Of course using the tool :)

Yes, it is just disabled. Lemmy Federate supports every threadiverse software and Piefed is one of them.

Currently Piefed communities can be followed by Lemmy instances but not the other way around.

In general, every fediverse software that support FEP-1b12 and can receive Lemmy-like PM’s can register to Lemmy Federate.

I think open discovery algorithms are the way. We are against algos but sorting by like similarity would be beneficial.

What are you guys thinking? @dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml Are you optimistic about this or fuck any algorithms?

I agree that fediverse needs a personalized “explore” page in general. For example, this is the only plus feature of Bluesky over Mastodon (in terms of technology). It is obvious how big a difference it makes.

I generally avoid the evil algorithms found on other social networks, but I hope we see that with Lemmy.

Why a user should use your instance where there are other free alternatives though?

Who will keep the money? Who will calculate what users will have to pay? Who will verify that the money is being used for the purpose it was paid for? How will bringing crypto payments to fediverse increase users, considering that 99% of people have never used crypto before? What will happen to the data of users who decide not to pay anymore? Let’s assume that all instances offer paid membership; wouldn’t monopoly occur if a corporate/suspicious instance offers completely free membership? Wouldn’t offering paid memberships hold instance admins legally liable?

Who will leave the mainstream platforms that are completely free and have many more users, and then pay and use a platform that is 1 in 100,000 times the size?

Even though I received a donation of about $10 for 1 year, I think the current system should continue. If money is involved in something, it would be abused.

Money involvement = enshitification

Let fediverse be unprofitable.

@ptz@dubvee.org I have cleaned these and some other bot accounts from my instance. I was ok to open registrations to this point because we were able to get reports for almost every activity and we could easily manage them. But unfortunately Lemmy does not have a regulatory mechanism for votes, so I’ll keep it manual approval until then.

Also it looks like they’re manually creating accounts since we had captcha + email approval in our instance from the beginning. So this means that even with manual approvals, a botnet can be created – just in a delayed manner.

Alright. I’ll check this ASAP.

You’re right, that’s worse.

Does the receiver instance federate that like object to other instances? If not, it is shit for sure.

About $50 monthly for server, backups, image hosting, mails etc.

I’m using Headscale for work and Tailscale for personal use. I tried to use Nebula but it’s not easy as Tailscale.

Yes, almost almost all of us have more than one account, but not everyone uses more than one account at the same time. I think these numbers are correct. There should be a margin of deviation of at most 10%.

More realistic than mainstream social media platforms. On Lemmy, the number of active users is measured by posts, comments and votes.
