Community

I want to keep a list of all starcitizen communities here on Lemmy that people might want to subscribe too. Also make sure you subscribe to all of the communities here on Citizens Gaming so they will show up in your subscribed feed even if you are hosted on another instance:

If you find any new SC communities elsewhere, let us know where so we can add them!

Defederation is a hot topic in the fediverse, so I want to make sure cover it here appropriately.

I personally don't have a strong stance on this subject. I believe that instances with a large population of bot users and ones that don't moderate illegal content should be defederated to protect the rest of the fediverse. Beyond that I believe it should be up to the individual communities to decide who they wanted to be connected too. To that end, here is the current process for putting an instance up for defederation:

Submitting a defederation request

To suggest an instance for defederation, respond in this thread with the following information:

Instance domain name:

Reason why it should be defederated:

If the post receives a positive vote ratio, the admin and mod staff will have a discussion and decide on whether it should be defederated.

Suggestions and improvements for this process are welcome, but please keep them to a single thread on this post so that it's easier to find the new instance reports.

Current Defederation List

You may check the Instances page for a current list of federated and defederated instances, but I'll also keep a list here for more details.

The following instances are defederated for questionable (potentially illegal) content, an aggressive userbase or for being a large corporate entity:

• Exploding-heads com
• lemmygrad ml
• burggit moe
• lemmy burger rodeo
• threads net

The following instances are defederated due to inundated with bot accounts. These were detected with the Lemmy Overseer service, which I'll check weekly to see if instances need to be added or removed:

• ttrpg network
• lemmy shwizard chat
• lemmy fyi
• cubing social
• fedit io
• lemmy cloudsecurityofficehours com
• dot surf
• veenk help
• clatter eu
• lemmy easfrq live
• mindshare space
• news deghg org
• lemmy primboard de
• theotter social
• thediscussion site
• lemmy podycust co uk
• narod city
• wumbo buzz
• lemmy jtmn dev

• bolha social
• bbs darkwitch net
• lemmyunchained net
• voyager lemmy ml
• demotheque com
• baomi tv
• lemmy fedi bub org
• granitestate social
• lemmy tedomum net

In order to ensure that this Lemmy instance is able to keep up with our necessary moderation tasks, community creation is restricted. For now, I’ve created a few basic and very general communities. If you have suggestions for additional communities, feel free to post them here!

Before we create a new community, we will require that a certain number of ardent moderators have volunteered to handle that community. Keeping things moderated is one of the main tenants of keep the fediverse healthy. If any communities become unmoderated and unruly, they will need to be pruned from the instance.
