User restrictions

Hello

  1. Is there any possibility to associate local users to groups ?

  2. Is there any possibility to limit access per group ? For example, to be able to subscribe/post/comment only to local groups even the server is federated ?

  3. Any possibility to automatically insert ads on local server on viewing anything ? Servers cost money and monetization is necessary since donation is just an occasional income.

  4. Is it possible to limit federation only to a pre-defined list of internet domains and deny all the rest ?

Thanks.

4 is possible for the communities themselves; but people interacting with them through other domains wont get filtered.

Later comment in hope that the tech info will be useful for anybody.

Related to no.4 I presume that there is an outside Lemmy hack to achieve this purpose. The container/VM that is hosting Lemmy should use a separate DNS server that can serve records only for the pre-defined list of internet domains and deny the rest.

Please mind that this is just a supposition, I did not test it !

That could indeed work!

  1. How will that block access of local users to remote existing communities (subscribe/post/reply/e.t.c.) ? I understand that only new created communities can be set to local only. Maybe I am wrong, can you explain or point to documentation link ?

you can only set a community to only allow local users, not prevent users from interacting with remote communities.

you'd have to either disable federation or set up a script to automatically remove all remote communities, but that also won't be a per user thing, just a per instance thing.
