Is it possible to query a lemmy instance's Federation State?
Is it possible to query a lemmy instance's Federation State?
Is it possible for a user to query the state of a given lemmy server's federation state?
According to the lemmy documentation the server can be configured with one of three different states of federation:
- Open
- Blocklist
- Allowlist
Unfortunately, I joined a lemmy instance that was set to "allowlist" and therefore I couldn't interact with most of the lemmy fediverse :(
I'm wondering if it's possible for non-users to query a server to see what federation state it's set-to, so that users can be aware of how limited their content will be before they signup.
You're viewing a single thread.
Lemmy Map does something in that direction - but in the form of a graph instead of a table.
Note: don't open on mobile lmao
thanks! Unfortunately that site is basically unuseable for me, but perhaps if we dig into their code, we'll find how they figure out the federation state..
I believe I've read somewhere that @[email protected] was intending to publish it.
The sourcecode is here afaict https://codeberg.org/wintermute/lemmymap
It says they use lemmy-stats-crawler, but I can't get it to run on Debian 11. And I can't open issues on that repo.
Make sure you use rustup to install cargo. The debian version is probably too old.
Thanks. See also https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-stats-crawler/issues/4
I would have to take a look, it's probably outdated, there is also https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-stats-crawler
