Started out on the fmhy.ml just prior to the .ml debacle. On lemmy.world now, but they have just started banning piracy communities. The new fmhy instance, of course, has already died before I got to try it.

sigh Married pasty male looking for lemmy instance that:

  • Has some decent uptime / Reliable / Not on a fly by night top level domain
  • Hates Nazi’s and doesn’t hesitate to ban, block and defederate such crap
  • Tolerant of piracy communities and federations
  • Oh, and will let me see comments in the Technology community. That isn’t working for me here.

Suggestions welcome.

    Is there fediverse reciprocity? I mean, can users on those instances subscribe to sublemmits on this instance, or is that blocked, too?

      Lemmy.world hasn’t defederated dbzer0. Lemmy.world just doesn’t want to host pirate communities.

      So, you can login to lemmy.world, then search, subscribe and interact with pirate dbzer0 communities.

        This is not entirely correct. lemmy.world hasn’t defederated from dbzer0, but it has blocked it’s largest piracy community.

        Will dbzer0 posts show up in the Subscribed feed if it’s not hosted on lemmy.world? Will it get sorted by Hot?

        Why can’t lemmy.world simply redirect users to dbzer0? Why are the communities effectively shadow banned? If the main concern is lemmy.world not wanting to actually host them, rather than hiding them and trying to pretend they don’t exist, why can’t there just be some sort of placeholder that informs users that they cannot access this community on lemmy.world and they need to go-

        -ya know what? I got halfway through writing that and got tired of it. This is exhausting, and I’ve been here for 2 months.

        Lemmy needs an app or a UI that unites all this in a simple fashion so users don’t have to go through all this every time an admin decides to get picky with what they’re willing to host. All this shit need to be behind the curtain. Users should just be able to use any instance and see anything on Lemmy they want to see, whether the admins host it on their server or not.

      maybe this is the simplest answer to your question…

      here is your comment as viewed from dbzer0 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1959063

      here is this lemmy.world community as viewed from dbzer0 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/fediverse@lemmy.world

      so everything is still working in that direction

      seems like lemmy.world only blocked communities though, I think if you fully block an instance then you won’t send or receive anything with it?

      for comparison I used https://radiation.party/c/programmer_humor@programming.dev and it doesn’t show anything new there because programming.dev has them blocked

      It’s all individual choices. You can see what dbzer0 blocks at the bottom of this list - lemmy.world isn’t included in the ‘blocked’ part.

        dbzer0 is not blocked from lemmy.world - https://lemmy.world/instances.

        So while you are technically correct that you can publicly see who is blocking who by looking at their instance list, your answer isn’t relevant to the question of blocked communities where there hasn’t been total instance-blocking.

        As far as I can tell, there is no way to see an instance’s blocked communities except by reading/searching their modlog.

          Ah sorry. You’re right, of course. I saw the word ‘fediverse’ and responded without really thinking.

          I read that even subscribers on lemmy.world might not even notice that the community is blocked, so there’s not much hope for the rest of us.

            Lemmy.world users no longer see it in all/community search results, and if trying to navigate to the Lemmy.world url for the community specifically (like this: https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) they just get an error.

            So the only way they would discover that communities are blocked is if they absolutely know the community actually exists by visiting the foreign instance.

            The only other way I’ve discovered you can see what communities an instance has blocked is by parsing through the public modlog.
