I saw that github issue back then and I also saw somewhere that the cloudflare has been removed and that lammy could federate now. But in practice it doesn’t work for some reason.

That is why I’ve been thinking that they might have a white list and I’m not on it but the bigger instances are. But there is no way for me to see that.

Is this the reason why my single-user instance can’t subscribe to any https://kbin.social magazine? I’m not even getting an error, just “Subscription Pending”. That sounds kind of broken and different to how Mastodon is dealing with that issue.

Do I somewhere need to apply to be able to subscribe to any /kbin magazines? If so where do I do that? Is there a email I can sent my application to? Or is the idea that if you have a single user instance you create a new user on every instance to find some meta-magazine where you can ask to be able to subscribe to a magazine on that instance?

Or are small instances not part of the design?

Here is mine https://gist.github.com/jeena/6179470a8d616455f30635a5c71f5f64 which had a similar problem with the comments, although I couldn’t post comments on my own instance either.

For me the thing was that I had to add:

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ''      close;
}

and

        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;

And also change the nginx in the docker to port 8080 so my normal nginx could keep running on 80 and handle all the ssl certificate stuff.

My setup is:

Browser -> native Nginx -> docker Nginx -> lemmy

How would one instance know that I set up a new instance without a central service?

They’ve been loosing money for 20 years, now they want the IPO so they need to show that they can also make money.

And I’m reading it on /kbin

There is a workaround to groups: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/

That’s what consulates and embassies are for, no need to have hidden Chinese police in the back of the restaurant.

We have @foosel perhaps she should start the 3d printing one here :D

Oh, and even if they’re annoying, I understand how federation works and that users from lemmygrad could comment there etc. and I can handle the shills, what I was surprised about were the mods on lemmy.ml which started deleting my comments. Doing this, they make it impossible for me to even try to engage in a discussion and show a different point of view to the tankies.

As far as I understood, those were people who had accounts on lemmy.ml, not lemmygrad.ml

Whistle blowing is necessary but not sufficient to bring change.

Ah I was wondering why so many posts have no up/down votes and where those favourites are coming from. Thanks for the explanation!

Especially the lemmy.ml part was kind of terrible, I got into some weird argument with Tiananmen Square massacre deniers and the mods started deleting my comments, so the whole discussion was meaningless and left me very worried for the future of this corner of the fediverse.

Those country ones, I’m in r/sweden and r/korea

Yes exactly, I call myself very left but the minute I tried /kbin a thread about china from lemmy.ml showed up and there full of Tianomon Square deniers I tried to engage but just after half an hour I was almost done with the whole reddit alternative and was on my way to delete my account.

People are put off of extremist places and don’t want to join them, think they are lost already to the extremists. Both online and in real life.

Oh I was just listening to a podcast where you were a guest in https://pod.fossified.com/2023/04/05/s01e03.html and I had to lough out loud when they asked you what they could do to bring more women into FOSS or what it was and your response was to not invite them to podcasts only to discuss the topic of women in FOSS :D
