Lemmy.world Rammy Statement (lemmy.world)

126 comments fedilink hide all child comments

We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.

We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.

Question here. If a user suscribed to world wants to keep seing content from that instance, cant he just suscribe to some subs over there? I'm still trying to figure that part out. I'm on ml but can see some content from world.

No, you will not see content from Rammy on LW. If you want to interact with both you'll need to have an account on an instance that federates both. I'm sure there are some out there, and if not starting your own is an option.

And this, I feel, is one of the biggest issues with Lemmy...and unfortunately one that I could easily see being its Achilles Heel and ultimate undoing as a viable, sustainable model in the long term.

I think it's one of the best things about it.

neigh. I think its one of the best.

Want ot make sure your instance is up, and is predictable and federated? Heres a guide

Roll your own
Dont troll or be a dick and you wont get deferated. Bigger instances have better things to worry about

As it sits things like the downtime, the porn spam to random@kbin, the federation drama have left me largely unaffected. I get to see what I want based on my subs and nothing more. If someone is trolling me I can even ban them and still see content, without their comments or contributions.

Im not reliant on a large corp to decide im worthy. I get to have downtime on my clock. etc.

Indeed. As long as you have a DNS name available it's pretty easy to roll an instance, lemmy-ansible will do the work for you.

As a user of lemmy.ml you don't have to worry about what Lemmy.world defederates from. You'll still see Lemmy.World content and lemmy.ml will pull directly from other instances on its own

That's not what they asked though.

The question wasn't that self-centered, it was asking if a user from an instance that defederated from another instance could still access content from the defederated instance through a direct manual subscription.
