you can! the post itself is still there, just its content got removed / replaced with a note marking it as "removed by moderators"
Some users brought up posting interesting pics of sticks, and I'm all for it
CW: NSFW
Every once in a while I still remember a gif of a dragon fucking a car I saw years ago. I'd be amazed if this is what the subreddit turns into
I'm looking forward to the anarchy of the internet
Realistically speaking there's gonna be porn tho.
So much "interesting as fuck" porn.
it kinda does!
we had some spam from a user from another instance earlier and at first it looked like changes made to comments through an admin's actions (especially deleting it) wouldn't federate
now it looks like these changes federate sometimes, but not consistently. Lemmy's moderation tools definitely need a bit of work 😅
Looks like he's actively running his platform into the same piece of wall that Twitter's crashed into
We're not gonna defederate just because we kinda don't like another community's theme.
Our goal as admins is to protect our users, so if another instance makes no effort whatsoever to follow our rules (read them here: https://obeythesystem.com/community-rules/, tl;dr: "don't be a dick") or has a spam problem, that's when we'll consider defederating.
Three of my favorites are:
Tampermonkey: To run my own JS on any website I want, which can be used to drastically change look and feel
Join: Connect all your devices, quickly sent tabs, files, between them. For powerusers Join is also compatible with e.g. Tasker on Android (a powerful automation app, the Join dev took over Tasker's development a while ago), or Homeassistant
SponsorBlock: I recently discovered this and I'm loving it - this tool adds the "Skip Intro" feature you probably know from streaming services to youtube. For Intros, Sponsored segments, filler jokes, etc.
definitely a good place to ask this!
My linited understandign based on Lemmys docs (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/federation_getting_started.html) is that only the community you subscribe to will federate:
If you search for a community first time, 20 posts are fetched initially. Only if a least one user on your instance subscribes to the remote community, will the community send updates to your instance. Updates include:
- New posts, comments
- Votes
- ...
That should explain the missing content as well: Lemmy only fetches a portion of a community at the time of subscribing, and only the content created after the initial federation will be sent to us - you can manually force a refresh by getting the link to a comment on the remote instance, and searching that on our instance - that'll get all the data about its parents, but that's admittedly pretty inconvenient. The process is described in more detail in the docs linked above!
PSA, since this instance is super new and not well federated yet, if you search for a community on another instance and it doesn't show up right away, you might need to refresh the page!

At the moment lemmy and kbin are both pretty early in their develoment cycles - kbin had so many issues that we couldn't get it to run at all, lemmy runs, but it's far from being smooth.
We'll keep an eye on both and see how the development goes, and we might consider a kbin instance once it's reached a certain maturity. But, and that's a big but, we've got a community that's attracted over 200 people in a matter of days, and unless there's a process to migrate all those users smoothly from one instance to another, it's pretty unlikely that we're gonna replace this lemmy instance with a kbin based platform entirely.
