Edit: Because people are confused, remove them while they are defederated.

Once they've got stuff under control and refederate, then add them back.

why? I understood it was just a temporary thing, not permanent.

Everyone is going through some growing pains right now, why not be gracious and let things progress as they need to? Or do you know something I don't?

I was not implying to permanently remove them. I did indeed mean to remove them while they're defederated. They said they can't handle the influx of users with only 4 admins.

Obviously they would be readded when they refederated.

why?

To spare the users of the 2 affected instances the crappy UX of asymmetric federation.

Do you know when they plan to refederate?

[–] Arcanus 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I do not, unfortunately

If the defederation is open ended, it seems pretty reasonable to delist them until it's sorted. They've cut themselves off from more than 30% of the active Lemmy userbase, and are at the center of what's about to become a monumental storm of confusion around asymmetrical federation. There's no need to subject more people to that than is necessary.
