Most servers do. Even Lemmy.World defederized from those tankie servers.
Imo that’s the beauty of how all of this works. If you’re on Beehaw and don’t like how they’re doing things, you can leave and go to another server without issue. It’s not like Reddit where you’re just sol.
Is there a tool to sync account's community subscription? It takes time to re-subscribe to all the communities of interest so it's not so trivial to migrate instance
I’m new to all of this, but my understanding is they defederated with lemmy.world as well. Would this impact them negatively in the long run considering this instance has such a large user base?
Yes and no. It might hurt their potential userbase, but beehaw also is about quality over quantity, and these moves are an effort to enfore that policy.
You could do that on reddit too you just had aww awww awwww etc. This way isn't any different as it tells you what server aww you are reading. You then just community search aww and subscribe to the ones you want.
Technically you only need to register in one instance and can interact across lemmy and kbin instances, but you can register the same username in various instances in case of defederation. Lemm.ee federates with all and all instances federate with it for example, beehaw.org doesn't allow signups and has defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
And now to blow everybody's minds, by visualizing that lemmy, mastodon and most other federated services are also inter-connected and can interact with one another.
See, I keep seeing people say that the federated services can interact with each other but I have yet to understand what that means. I have a lemmy and a mastodon account but I can't figure out how they're supposed to connect.
As I understand it, that would mean that lemmy servers would load content from mastodon servers and you could see them from your server. However, lemmy does not implement that yet (they are/were just two developers, so need to prioritize).
This right here is my question as well.
Currently I have created an account and login for Lemmy, Kbin (because there were some instances I couldn't see from Lemmy even though my native instance isn't being blocked or blocking any others), and Mastodon.
Do I need a minimum of a Lemmy and Mastodon account to access everything or will one work across all the fediverse?
@Wild_Mastic yes, this is someone replying from mastodon. By default it adds ats for the thread and all comment parents to my post, but I can delete them.
I got here by finding this comment on the lemmy.world website and copying the URL into my mastodon client manually. If I wanted to spend time here specifically, I could get a feed of all your posts by following @Wild_Mastic, follow all posts from this sub magazine as if it were a user reblogging all content in it by following @main. I think there is also a way to follow any post to the instance but that would be something of a firehouse of information.
Regrettably, there is no great way to easily post with a nonlocal non-lemmy/non-kbin account to my knowledge currently outside of subscribing to these places prior to the post being made that you want to comment / interact with. But that could be done either with improved apps on desktop / mobile, integrations from existing apps or even something like a web browser addon perhaps.
I still habe trouble with mastodon. Some say it is like twitter others say it is not and you should not treat it that way.
The improtant thing, how do i find good content there? I tried web search and trending hastags. Most of it is just random shit people wrote just a minute ago.
They’ve stated that long term they would like reconnect with larger instances. The problem is that federation, afaik, is all or nothing. So they can’t let lemmy world users view their content without also allowing them to post/comment.
Hi all! I'm having problems with 2fa right now. So i enabled 2fa on my sh.itjust.works, lemmy.fmhy.ml, lemmynsfw.com. but now when i try to log in, all of them says the code is wrong. I'm still logged in to all accounts so i can disable 2fa, but wondering why this is happening.
Probably the wrong place for this kind of user support, but I've had the same problem on other services. The solution usually is that your 2FA device's clock is wrong. 2FA needs a synchronized clock between the device and the server.
