KDE just created their own Lemmy instance https://lemmy.kde.social/ and I would like to see it on kbin

Red alert:

https://lemmy.kde.social/instances

lemmygrad.ml lemmy 0.18.0

burggit.moe lemmy 0.18.0

They seem to federate everyone, including the weird CP guys.

Honestly they should only federate with instance from official, hand picked, high standards projects, kernel, gnome and Co. They don't want to take any risks with an instance like ours.

edit: the demonstration for it is the person who downvoted my post: https://kbin.social/u/iluvroris (visible in the activity tab)

even his profile is nsfw. This is exactly the reason why kde must NOT federate with us, because of freaks like iluvroris. That's the harsh reality. As long as we accept nsfw, we cannot and should not be federated by big brand like KDE. We have to pick who we federate and it cannot be everyone.

I don't agree with this.

We should work towards better tools for letting people tailor make their own feeds to show the content they want to see, not call for defederation based on content or ideology.

We should

It's not there. Even the admin of lemmy recommends to not federate everyone:

By default, both allowed_instances and blocked_instances values are empty, which means that Lemmy will federate with every compatible instance. We do not recommend this, because the moderation tools are not yet ready to deal with malicious instances.

There will always be malicious instances, if you allow every instance by default then you will have to fight against an infinite amount of child porn. Non stop. It will last 24 hours until the admins of respectable instances like KDE or Mozilla defederate everyone by default and only federate on-demand, after vetting.

We have to decide where kbin.social stands in term of federation. But I can tell you one thing is that KDE and Mozilla will never, ever tolerate the slightest nsfw on their instance.

Is this the reason why my single-user instance can't subscribe to any https://kbin.social magazine? I'm not even getting an error, just "Subscription Pending". That sounds kind of broken and different to how Mastodon is dealing with that issue.

Do I somewhere need to apply to be able to subscribe to any /kbin magazines? If so where do I do that? Is there a email I can sent my application to? Or is the idea that if you have a single user instance you create a new user on every instance to find some meta-magazine where you can ask to be able to subscribe to a magazine on that instance?

Or are small instances not part of the design?
