Anything about the lemmy.ml instance and its moderation.
For discussion about the Lemmy software project, go to [email protected].
Okay maybe I need some explanation here but I was under the impression that, as long as your home instance isn't actively blocking that other instance, you're able to interact/join any* community on that other instance.
I'm quite new to Lemmy so maybe I missed that info or misunderstood what being federated to another instance means.
Instances can be configured however they want. The standard right now is a blacklist (federate with everyone who asks except blocked instances). Hexbear was considering going with a whitelist instead (only federating with a small handful of servers).
Oh ok I was partly right hahaha
I think I was the confused one lol you're fine
Hexbear published a small list of servers they intend to federate with, which included lemmygrad.ml, blahaj.zone, and lemmy.ml. It may have also included lemmy.world but I do not remember for sure.
Since lemmy.ml federates with Lemmygrad, I don't see any reason why the devs would block Hexbear.
ohh ok I was just confused because I thought lemmygrad and hexbear were already federated but I was mistaken.
I just checked the original hexbear announcement about the federation and it seems like it'll happen near the end of this week
