Yeah moving to a federation alternative seems like it would be extremely welcomed in that type of community. They would have a lot more freedom in posting whatever content they wanted without being bothered by the reddit admins.

Pirates are notoriously good at finding the content they are looking for, so a "hidden" community on Lemmy would still thrive.

I was under the impression that once an instance defederated, everything would be separated as well.

But to your point, Lemmy does a really bad job of explaining federation to new users. There should be way better landing pages that quickly and easily introduce people

This one is hard for me to have an opinion on.

Loot rolls need to be controlled by the server, or else people will just exploit all that stuff.

Diablo doesn't have a lot of mechanics that really need players to interact with each other, but games like that and WOW are entirely based around gear grind. All accomplishment requires players to have a level playing field or players just won't want to play. It's just wierd like that.

If people want an offline game, they should buy an offline game. It's not that smart to buy an always-online game and then complain about it.

And all the reposters.

It just created junk content for no reason at all.

Thanks!

I wish CIG would be more receptive of the community doing this. It's a lot of fun, but finding good prints can be hard because they don't allow open sharing of files. The few shops I've made ready for printing have taken a lot of hours to prepare and it's not easy to find files from other people.

And here-in lies the downfall of Lemmy. Federation can't be an automatic thing. Communities need to be vetted before their content becomes visible on other instances. The Federation concept will work, but not the way it's currently designed.

Not at the moment.

There's an issue for it on GitHub, but it's unlikely to be implemented: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397

Yeah, understandable.

I'm more just wondering what the process is for community discussions on what is and is not defederated. It's seems extremely shortsided to build a system in which only the admins have a say in that kind of thing.

[–] JeffCraig 2 points 2 years ago

Ha yes.

I may or may not have kids, but this video will stick in my mind forever. If I do, my focus will be on creating that community to surround my kids with people that they can look up to for good role models and hope for the best :D

Honestly, with Mastodon, I'm at the same place. I signed up with a very specific and small instance and it's a ghost-town. I don't have the time to search around for content. I'll probably start looking for a larger default instance and go from there.

I just saw that there's an entire instance dedicated to this:

Lemmit.Online

They don't even accept registrations because it's only purpose is to repost content from Reddit. Is there a process to submit these types of things for defederation? It's fine for this stuff to exist, but it shouldn't automatically be pushed out to the entire fednet.
