As an alternative to lemmy.world I would like to suggest my own instance endlesstalk.org.

I have no plans to deferate or ban anything releated to piracy. Only thing that might change my mind would probably be a company taking legal action against me.

I also strive to have as little downtime as possible and keep everything running smoothly.

Is there an official blocked communities list and defederated list for each instance? Also can you have the same username on a different instance? I fear we are going to lose people who don't really care that much about the federation stuff and just want to use Lemmy like reddit. Although I guess reddit is similar in that they decide what communities are allowed as well...

Yes, "Instances" at the very bottom of the pages

Honest question, is there an app or frontpage that would allow to mix instances that are not federated? Unless an instance has access to everything, having two accounts will show a lot of duplicated contentent (for example, in "all" it will show technology@lemmy.world in likely all instances)

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It would be simpler just to pick an instance that to date refuses to defederate from anyone. I use SDF, and I picked it in part for that reason.

I also don't think they're going anywhere, since SDF has been around continuously since the 80s (literally started as an anime BBS) and still runs a lot of services that would seem unusual to care about these days (including having a gopher server), so I figure their Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Matrix, etc instances aren't going anywhere.

It would but then that bath water comes with the baby.

I can get people talking about piracy but it comes with Russian propaganda, Hitler love, fat shaming and homophobia.

It would be kind of cool to have a client where your communities come from specific instances where you want them. If an instance goes down have it pick a backup instance and pull the community from there. Of course it would require separate accounts in separate communities with separate subs on each instance, making each user weigh many times there normal cost for lemmy operation.

There's always self-hosting, but it has its own discovery pitfalls. When you'd like a pie hole and public rated block lists where you can tell it what you do and don't want to see

Just made an alt account on lemm.ee

[–] UnknownQuantity@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Same here. Not because I'm a pirate, but because lemmy.world has been trigger happy with blocking instances /communities. I did not leave reddit to be a part of even bigger shit show. So here's hoping the fediverse works out.

Lemmy.world banned piracy so a lot of people will stop using lemmy.world, splitting the load

[–] GenBlob@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Sucks for us interested in it but It's completely understandable. Making an account on another instance and transferring your data takes no time at all, which is exactly what I did.

Some are doing one step more and registering on the instances hosting the piracy communities.

Search for "contex t" on this page (mispelled on purpose so that is doesn't come up when other people will look for it
