Agreed, he definitely needs more confidence.

@jojo

Depends if the person was already hoarding wealth before or had the desire to. Generally those who have a desire for wealth tend to hoard gold as dergs, those who don’t, well they don’t.

@Ghostalmedia @deadsuperhero I think the fact that I was able to see and reply to this comment of yours from Mastodon proves this idea false, if you check the Post history of this account you will also find that content posted in Lemmy is visible.

They absolutely do interact, lemmy is way more Mastodon friendly than most people give it credit for, considering the fact that communities/groups, automatically boost every post and comment for visibility.

So people on Lemmy being concerned about poorly moderated or cesspool microblog instances is indeed a valid concern.

@db0 @WeirdGoesPro would probably require modifying Lemmy to be able to do it unfortunately, and that’s hard because of the Lemmy Devs’ weird insistence on using rust.

@cyberboy What do you think, does this get the official catboy seal of approval?

@RavenLuni @crashdoom Yeah I agree. Automated moderation systems can cause a lot of problems when they ban or limit without human interaction.

If they do though, they need to inform the user of the actions performed, and there needs to be an easy way to appeal them, so they aren’t just baseless automated bans like on every mainstream service.

@Melody @l_b_i I feel like it can get more cozy.

@LordAmplifier @l_b_i Also put on some nice calm music too. That helps with coziness factor.

@lemann I wonder if it might also be affecting Kbin users too. I’m not sure though since I ditched Kbin a long time ago (there were lots of bugs and shitty people on there).

@lemann I think these are very different issues on Mastodon than on Lemmy since on mastodon when its pending it isn’t just a visual glitch like on Lemmy, it’s just not letting you follow.

I’ve experienced what you’re describing on Lemmy where it shows as pending but does show up in the subscriptions list after a few refreshes. It unfortunately doesn’t seem to work out like that on Mastodon when following users or communities that are on Lemmy 0.19 instances.

@db0 So the dragonchat one went through, even though it says pending on the instance?

Also yeah I guess I do have a lot, I made most mainly due to federation problems but there were other reasons too (like when lemmy.world decided to go to war against piracy as well as other things). Ah well it’s good to have redundancy, in case systems fail or instances go bust (that happened to unilem, they just disappeared overnight without warning).

@db0 @div0 Ah so I guess it is instance specific. That’ll make troubleshooting hard if some instances work and some don’t. Hopefully it’s mostly consistent.

@db0 @div0 That’s… really weird.

I just tried on my other account on dragonchat.org to see if it might be glitch-soc but it also didn’t work there. I wonder why hackyderm.io is working for following when others aren’t.

Mind also trying to follow @memes and @astronomy (no reason in particular for why I picked these ones, just picked them since they’re 0.19 instances) just to see if it’s specific to dbzer0 or if it’s working with other instances too.

@db0 @div0 try refreshing the page, it didn’t say pending for me until I refreshed.

@db0 I think I’ll do that, just wondering, is there any indication of my follow requests on your end? I’m trying to follow the piracy community.

@db0 @div0 Well that’s good at least. Are you able to subscribe to Lemmy communities from your instance (try ones on 0.19 or 0.19.1)?

@db0 I’m not seeing them. They still say pending.

@db0 I tried sopuli.xyz, mander.xyz, lemm.ee, lemmy.world, and pawb.social.

Out of those only lemmy.world and pawb.social worked and allowed me to follow, all the others gave a pending message.

@austin @frosty Oh that’s really handy and helps when it comes to mitigating outages.

Though I guess in this situation the biggest issue isn’t that the room wouldn’t be available (since it’s copied and exists elsewhere) but that the accounts of the room operators (which are probably on the same server as that room) wouldn’t be available to deliver messages and updates during an outage affecting the self-hosted home server. Which is why it would be best to have something critical like an announcements and support channels on a more multi-purpose server like matrix.org as opposed to a self hosted one, that way the updates can be posted there if pawb.social servers aren’t working, since their accounts will be hosted on Matrix.org as opposed to their own server.
