I’ve tried searching for other posts that ask a similar question, but I couldn’t fine one that could fully make me understand what it would mean in this scenario.
So far from my understanding is that if I browse All, the instance I’m on won’t show anything at all from the instances that it blocked. But manually doing the workaround would still show me the community and whatever posts that got federated in my instance. Is my understanding correct?
The other topic of federation that I’m interested to understand as a user are below.
The example: fedia.io states in their federation list that it does not federate with ani.social. But ani.social states they federate with fedia.io.
I can go to say !anime@ani.social just fine via fedia.io, although there is some posts that doesn’t show. Is this one of the result of this situation?
Additionally, today I did basically try to subscribe to all the same communities/magazines on my lemmy.world (I’m considering to abandon this account), fedia.io and kbin.earth accounts.
Other than the situation above happened to some communities where some post doesn’t sync, I’ve also found some communities that’s just inaccessible from either 3 instances.
Is that another result of not being federated?
Thanks in advanced.
It means both instances will see old posts from before one of them defederated.
Now that A is de-federated from B, they both won’t see new posts or comments from eachother. In the case of fedia and ani.social, you won’t get any new posts from any of their communities or users. If you post on anime@ani.social from fedia, nobody will see that post outside of fedia users, because ani.social isn’t seeing it and passing it around to the rest of the fediverse.
You hav basically the right idea, everything stops syncing when one defederates.
Hmm, I see. This is interesting. It gives me the feeling that I either would “have to” have a generalist account on the least defederated instance to have as wide a net (kind of my early times on reddit), or I would have specialized accounts to specific topics in multiple instances.
for myself I look to have an account on an instance that federates everywhere. I block stuff myself. Given that I find domain blocking does not work correctly and the language filter is iffy. Im hoping those get improved but the language might be local configs that are not correct or something.
I’d love that. I still need to go looking for an instance that I can fit in and just block and curate myself.
How is the moist instance? is it stable and relatively quick? I’m partial to stay with mbin instances more than Lemmy but I’m still open to anything really.
so I chose it because I liked what the guy (originalucifer) had to say about it. Its a single person so I mean I think the main thing is you might have to be ready for it to be over at some point and might have to start again at another fed instance. Not trying to diss but I think this is a reality for any of the fediverse but the smaller the thing the more likely. Its great actually because its part of its strength to me. somethig could fall but its super unlikely all of it will. So if you want to do the way I decided read:

is there any particular reason ani.social is defederated? just curious
Sorry, I wouldn’t know. I’m new and slowly dipping into lemmy and eventually other parts of fediverse. I’m curious too, but idk if I should ask fedia.io’s admin about it.
The lemmy devs added it to some big block list with verifiable lies as the justification (some same lolicon epidemic). Haven’t checked to see if it’s still there, but it’s a pretty good red flag to watch for bad instances imo.
Probably boils down to Western chauvinism over anime.
Instance A defederating B or vice versa is the same result. Any posts on any inaccessible remote communities will remain and act like local only communities, specific to your instance.
