Ohh, good theory, and double checking that, it might be the case, thank you for the plausible explanation.
Has reddit pruned anybodys comments?
Just for the heck of it, I checked my acc there and I cannot see any comments newer then 2 months. Have they been siletnly deleting any offending comments?
Comments from lemmy.ml don’t seem to be showing in other instance communities
There’s this post on [email protected] https://lemmy.click/post/17080
But it seems that me and other users post (we are both registered in lemmy.me) shows only if I access that community through lemmy.me, but if I try to visit it directly through lemmy.world/c/technology, the posts are not shown there. I know lemmy.me is overloaded right now, but it does’n show there even after hours.
The same. One other problem is Is I have an image hover extension on my pc, and the post constantly jumping out are annoying. Even more so if the “new” stuff turns out to be days okd stuff from some forgotten instance.
How does the cross instance federation works?
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole federation thing. I got my account created on lemmy.ml, but I see that I can set the front page include posts from the whole federation, be it beehaw, etc.
Now I'm confused about actually posting stuff. For example, on the lemmy.ml frontpage sidebar, there's a rule 3, no porn. Is it instance-wide? Or is it just for /c/lemmy community? Can I create my own community with nsfw comment? And if not, can I use a federation to post a nsfw content to an instance that allows nsfw from my account on lemmy.ml?
There's a docs page here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/01-getting-started.html, but I feel there needs to be more comprehensive and idiot-friendly ELI5 version of federartion and how is it actually impleemented, because its such a huge paradigm shift which most of people are not used to.
EDIT: Also, can I create communities cross-instance for example?
That only happens when reddit doubles down on the api charges. If they stand back to make it barely usable, the migration will slowly stop imho. I really wish reddit would die, but at the end of the day, I'll be part of the problem when I'll probably stay where the bigger community potential will be.
