Thanks for quoting it!

Not quite. Blocked means you won't see any of their posts, it's something users can do.

Defederating is something instance admins can do. Defederating from an instance means everyone in your instance can't see their posts, and they can't see ours from here on out.

Here's where people get confused: even after defederating, their communities and all of their older content still exists here. But, you can think of them as "dead" communities. Anything you post there won't be federated, meaning only your instance will see what you post there. All other instances won't see your post on a community you've defederated with, so it's important to stop posting there and instead post on communities you're federated with.

For sure. I'm trying to post a lot more too for communities I enjoy.

I disagree with this. You're saying we should watch Meta invade and profit off the fediverse and do nothing? Just because it's an open standard doesn't mean we should watch and let it happen, defederating is retaliation. The fediverse isn't going to succeed by people doing nothing and watching others ruin it.

We've seen this happen. Many times. If the fediverse admins are going to repeat the mistakes of other standards then it's going to slowly get worse until people do another standard and do it all over again.

God I love wizardposting

I hope the ridiculous key-inputs for doing actions like calling ammo are still a thing

The ! is shorthand for linking to other communities, it provides an autocomplete link for referencing communities.

The links work on the website and Liftoff app so I guess Connect still hasn't been updated to work well with these links yet. These apps are all new so some bugs should be expected.

I have a friend that's a lot more technical than me and he said that Lemmy's codebase is kinda messy and relies on libraries that are still in beta and have not been tested well in the real world (since Rust is a relatively new language). This was a few months ago though, I'm not sure how much things changed since it's been getting a lot more support and rewrote the front-end. The good news is it'll get a lot better as more developers contribute to it.

I think a lot of people assume that because it's written in Rust that means it has to be super stable but that really isn't the case.

Not realistic, they'd make very random gem numbers to confuse people as much as possible.
