EDIT: it wasn't intentional:

Honestly thank god. That place is getting louder and louder and spilling their obvious double standards and apologetics for Authoritarianism all over my feed. They will not be missed.

Is there anyway to know what instances your instance defederates?

db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 14 pts · 1y

Your.instance.domain/instances

It's also typically in the footer under instances.

I didn't even notice. I've had them on my instance block list since the day instancr blocking was added to Lemmy.

This seems unintentional. We're looking into it

it seems to have happened again

Thanks we fixed but I'm researching the root cause.

EDIT: OK found the bug and fixed.

hexbear is um.. funky.

They still having CSAM issues?

I think it would be good to defed as few instances as possible.

Leave the decision to the user.

(I didn’t notice the defed)

The user does not have that decision. Instance blocking does not stop users from that instance from interacting with you.

I haven't really had negative interactions with hexbear users since instance blocking and blocking like 30 users I noticed being assholes way back. Maybe they're still responding to my comments without my knowing but idc

Then I’m oblivious how lemmy federation works.

Gotta read up on it

AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 1y

Mostly that blocking and defederation aren't the same thing. Blocking only stops the comms on that instance from showing up in your feed. It's entirely unrelated to the federation / activitypub mechanic. It's effectively like you turning on a local filter in your client, and only filters communities.

My experience on my old .world acct was that defederation didn't stop user interactions/comments, just posts and search/discovery.

AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

It definitely does.

Kommeavsted@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y

Huh. I don't know why i could still see stuff on the old one. Idk. But then again I'm no expert on it 🤷

I'm missing content from hexbear, is there something going on?

onoira@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 157d

this thread is from 10 months ago, but yeah there seems to be a problem with federation between Dbzer0 and Hexbear.

tho, unlike the time this thread is about, Hexbear is still listed in the linked instances.
