Newbie question here... What's the difference between federated and de-federated?
Federated means that any instance that is federated with them receives their content and can bee seen on that instance.
Defederated means they are not federated anymore, thus blocking both users and content.
It's usually done to combat content you don't want on your instance
Ok ok... So me using Lemmy.world is a specific instance of Lemmy, so it's almost like its own server? And other instances (maybe lemmy.unitiedstates?) is its own federated instance likely related to just U.S. posts and it can communicate with other instances? Do de-federated instances have no other communication with instances?
Apologies if these are silly, I feel like a dum dum because everyone else seems to grasp this except me.
Defederated means that the server has been forbidden from connecting and communicating with specific other servers that have decided to defederate with it, so users from the server can't see or interact with users and posts on the server that defederated it and vice versa. Hopefully I was clear and coincise.
I wonder why gameliberty.club is the only Mastodon instance in this list that uses the old blue logo.
WHAT COULD POA.ST HAVE DONE TO GET THAT MANY DEFEDERATIONS
edit: scrolled down in the comments to find my answer
Where/how is this obtained?
I'm curious about seeing an entire list of defederated instances.
Anyone have a lemmy list?
What's with Pawoo.net? Figured it was something but it's all Japanese.
