Everyone subscribe! We should make it at least the main KDE community.

Love me some officially supported federation!

Why start a new one? We already have tons of users and content here.

[-] carlschwan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Because it's better in term of health of the fediverse if we don't end up with only a few big instances like lemmy.ml. Also people can interact with lemmy.kde.social while not being on that instance

Unfortunately my instance (https://feddit.de) is not federating with it yet.

[-] Northern_Blood@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

It seems to work now, I'm on feddit.de too and I just subscribed to !KDE@lemmy.kde.social

[-] jfreax@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Do they need to approve each and every instance manually? I thought it would happen automatically as soon as someone is trying to subscribe to a "channel" of another instance. No?

[-] Lemmchen@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not familiar with the exact process yet. But doesn't that mean if you wanted to run an unfederated instance, you'd need to manually block every other instance there is?

[-] jfreax@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

That's how I understood it. There is maybe a way to blacklist everything (like using a wildcard) or disable federation? I don't know. Maybe I will try to run my own personal instance just to learn how it works :)

By default, lemmy will federate openly with any other instance. You can then block specific instances. (Disallow-list)

You can additionally disable federation altogether, or only federate with a specified list. (Allow-list).
