This community now seems to work for some reason, the others still don't

FYI, this only hides the lemmy.ml communities, not all content coming from lemmy.ml. More details on https://lemmy.ca/post/32209344

(Sorry, wanted to give an aussie.zone link, but nobody from your instance subscribed to that community: !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca )

Not at the moment unfortunately. Hopefully that will come soon, especially for Piefed.

Just to give you another post that you might be interested in: https://feddit.nl/post/16246531

Do this and you will no longer see lemmy.ml content.

Hide the instance communities.

Instance users are still visible.

That's also the thing. I want the least worse instance. Not being able to post at the moment is a far bigger issue than being federated with lemmy.ml

Hopefully in the coming days this gets fixed.

Admin told me on Matrix it is indeed due to the beta

If you got an account that quickly, that would speak positively to how responsive the main instance admin is? It is hard to tell b/c of how Lemmy hides precise dates starting at the 1-month mark, but before then the admin seemed to always respond to inquiries within a day?

It was automated, I got the email directly, validated it, and that was it.

That’s super weird that you cannot access the site.

Now I can browse, but cannot post. Maybe a trial period to avoid spammers.

There are only 9 instances that have >1k monthly active users, and none of those defederate from Lemmy.ml. And people have been talking about this issue for months now, so if I missed a mid-sized instance I would have hoped that someone would have mentioned it by now.

Don't forget that a lot of users have historical lemmy.ml accounts from before the exodus. I know a few lemmy.ml users that are nice, and it's kind of hard to tell them to switch instances because their admins can do some power tripping.

@OpenStars@piefed.social FYI Lemmy.cafe is quite slow for me, and I can't create posts. Might be due to using the 0.19.6-beta version of Lemmy

What happens if you hide them in your Lemmy settings? But maybe a question to ask on the Voyager community

Nice article. Hopefully other universities follow.

Well, seems like we are not there yet:

I just had a look at lemmy.cafe, and noted that they actually have 4 admins. I'll open an alt and see how things go.

It's fair, to be honest.

The default sort for someone without an account is not Local but rather All, for that reason. Someone would have to specifically switch the default to Local in order to see that? At a guess, it is just mismatched expectations - presuming that in addition to using that instance to access the Fediverse, that it would offer content of its own. Which it does but… barely. I am not sure why that should be a default expectation though?

If you look at an instance, you want to know what it is about and what the local community is like. It would be better to have an empty local feed than a feed dominated by crypto content.

You can hide downvotes in your account settings

Valid points. I would just hope lemmycafe would get another admin, so that they could become a more solid proposition.
