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.
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.
