lemmymap.feddit.de is a map that shows a few things. Clicking blocked shows the corresponding connections. It doesn't show the direction, but hovering over will show you an instances number of blocks. Some of the data could be wrong, though. Last I checked every instance is listed as no downvotes. The defederation with beehaw showed up pretty quickly though.
One note, maybe don't click the 'open' checkbox because that tries to show every connection and blows up my browser!
Isn't it also the case that each instance gets updates from all others? So in this case, lemmy.world's access to beehaw communities might lack [email protected] activity and beehaw's access lacks [email protected] activity?
But I also believe lemmy.world can see old beehaw stuff from before the defed, so that could play a role. I'm really just trying to wrap my head around all the network effects and repercussions, its confusing as hell.
Edit: There's this comment that explains things pretty well, in case anyone is curious: https://lemmy.world/comment/205763 -- sounds like all updates go to and eventually come from the instance holding a community, so if you're defederated from them, you only see federated cross-posts in a sense. At that point I think there are different comment sections altogether.
I'm 110% sure I'm still misunderstanding something, for what it's worth lmao
I was already feeling some type of way browsing communities, like being thrown back a couple decades to chat rooms and forums. But now, seeing users from kbin and lemmy all together, just hanging out... it feels pretty awesome.
It does feel like a breath of fresh air even in spite of the rough edges. I'm hoping it lasts and I also plan on sticking around!
I spent so long inching my way up the karma pole just to be able to comment with a funny name, and for what?! Glad to be here lmao
I wanna give both of you props for your work on these. It's pretty cool to see the community jump on things like this. I've been half considering an attempt to whip up an android app just for a personalized experience, but I'm worried I'll be too ambitions lol
A lot of the discussion around sorting specifics makes me wonder if a plugin-like system for user created sorting algorithms would be useful.
It could allow you to curate your own feed in a way, based on age, activity, filters, basically any post metadata. The algorithms could be shared or maybe even federated through lemmy itself. I have a suspicion this would be closer to "neat" than "worth it" though. This is really just a brain dump of a random idea.
As much as I understand r/superstonk's intent to stay loud, I agree it would have been perfect. After seeing the fediverse really blow up in a few days, I think the average ape would be stoked on the sense of community. And as far as values, I think it's pretty perfectly aligned over here.
I've been in for 84 years and I'm here to stay on Lemmy, too. Here's hoping more will transition.
