Unfortunately my instance (https://feddit.de) is not federating with it yet.
It seems to work now, I’m on feddit.de too and I just subscribed to !KDE@lemmy.kde.social
Do they need to approve each and every instance manually? I thought it would happen automatically as soon as someone is trying to subscribe to a “channel” of another instance. No?
I’m not familiar with the exact process yet. But doesn’t that mean if you wanted to run an unfederated instance, you’d need to manually block every other instance there is?
That’s how I understood it. There is maybe a way to blacklist everything (like using a wildcard) or disable federation? I don’t know. Maybe I will try to run my own personal instance just to learn how it works :)
By default, lemmy will federate openly with any other instance. You can then block specific instances. (Disallow-list)
You can additionally disable federation altogether, or only federate with a specified list. (Allow-list).
Why start a new one? We already have tons of users and content here.
Because it’s better in term of health of the fediverse if we don’t end up with only a few big instances like lemmy.ml. Also people can interact with lemmy.kde.social while not being on that instance
Everyone subscribe! We should make it at least the main KDE community.
Love me some officially supported federation!
I mean it requires a validation from the mods to be accepted. Makes it slow for people to join in tbh.
I’m trying to keep the size in check and limit the possibility for users of this instance to spam other instances.
