Currently, only if someone on your instance is subscribed to a remote instance will users see that community in their local instance’s community list. One enhancement to Lemmy would be to have instances that host communities “push” their local community list to federated instances once per day. Local users would be able to discover all Lemmy communities in the fediverse.

I think that would only work when the number of instances is small. Two solutions to this might be:
- have instances act like relays where the home instance of a community notifies 10 instances and then each of those instances notifies 10 instances, etc.
- batch updates on a timer such that once a minute all posts, comments, boosts, etc within a minutes are buffered and sent together.
Browsing /b/ was the first and hopefully last time I have ever seen without-a-doubt CSAM on the internet. It took less than 5 mins to see the worst of humanity.
SDF upgraded to 0.18.1-rc.4 recently. There might be some issues with the latest upgrade.
After Apollo’s API token was invalid, I deleted my account. I know it’s a minuscule drop in the ocean for Reddit, but not matter, I’m with Lemmy and the fediverse come what may.
I’ve been thinking about getting the mesh bracelet for mine. For whatever reason, the regular bracelet just doesn’t feel very comfortable.
I also recently became an ARPA member and it took about a week to process. However, I also became an SDF Saint and didn’t receive my blue check mark instantly!
To me, this seems like such a transparent attempt to force the tech companies to have a backdoor. If they can scan for CSAM, they can scan (or copy) anything else the government wants.
I haven’t used either tool but some metadata isn’t privacy related. Properties such as video size, video codec, audio codec, etc are important for playback.
If an instance has an onion address, the text will come through Tor; however, pictures from other instances will still go through exit nodes since only the instance that hosts a community serves the media. My understanding is that Kbin federates everything but I haven’t used it and am unsure how it interacts with a Lemmy for media.
I was thinking the same thing, however, I don’t know how to solve the bot issue. The value of StackOverflow is the upvoting of best answers but that becomes difficult to achieve without a solid user reputation system. However, as we saw with Reddit, this tends to reward “group think” and punishes divergent opinions.
