Except behaw sniped connection to some servers

[–] CaptainEffort 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most servers do. Even Lemmy.World defederized from those tankie servers.

Imo that’s the beauty of how all of this works. If you’re on Beehaw and don’t like how they’re doing things, you can leave and go to another server without issue. It’s not like Reddit where you’re just sol.

Is there a tool to sync account's community subscription? It takes time to re-subscribe to all the communities of interest so it's not so trivial to migrate instance

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

As far as I know, there isnt any Tool regarding this (yet)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate calls itself "migrate", but judging from a quick glance at the code it takes one primary account and adds all the subscriptions the primary has, but the secondary doesn't, to any number of secondary accounts.

So it's really a one-directional sync without deleting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thanks!

I’m new to all of this, but my understanding is they defederated with lemmy.world as well. Would this impact them negatively in the long run considering this instance has such a large user base?

[–] DaCrazyJamez 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes and no. It might hurt their potential userbase, but beehaw also is about quality over quantity, and these moves are an effort to enfore that policy.

Overall Id say its about even.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Honestly that's why I chose an instance that federates with both. There's no need to choose only between lemmy.world or beehaw.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

As is their right to do

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is good, but misses a glaring issue/confusion that you can have an "aww" community on each server which are totally unrelated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You could do that on reddit too you just had aww awww awwww etc. This way isn't any different as it tells you what server aww you are reading. You then just community search aww and subscribe to the ones you want.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How do usernames work? Can the same username be claimed multiple times (via registering on multiple instances)?

[–] Purplexingg 16 points 1 year ago

I don't see why not... It's like registering [email protected] and [email protected]... Same name but not really

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Technically you only need to register in one instance and can interact across lemmy and kbin instances, but you can register the same username in various instances in case of defederation. Lemm.ee federates with all and all instances federate with it for example, beehaw.org doesn't allow signups and has defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. Claim 'em all now if that concerns you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can’t think of a cool enough of a vanity name to secure anything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You can have a display name different from your username (just learning all this myself). Then you can use the same account across instances with different display names or vice-versa.

Love the usenet-ish federation. Now if only we had federated killfiles linked to our accounts. It'd be cool to raise/lower scores privately to bubble things up you care about and kill what you don't.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, a feature “people who like the comments you liked also liked these comments:”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Then it's nothing to worry about.

[–] Wild_Mastic 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So technically we should be able go comment from lemmy in a mastodon post, correct?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

@Wild_Mastic yes, this is someone replying from mastodon. By default it adds ats for the thread and all comment parents to my post, but I can delete them.

I got here by finding this comment on the lemmy.world website and copying the URL into my mastodon client manually. If I wanted to spend time here specifically, I could get a feed of all your posts by following @Wild_Mastic, follow all posts from this sub magazine as if it were a user reblogging all content in it by following @main. I think there is also a way to follow any post to the instance but that would be something of a firehouse of information.

Regrettably, there is no great way to easily post with a nonlocal non-lemmy/non-kbin account to my knowledge currently outside of subscribing to these places prior to the post being made that you want to comment / interact with. But that could be done either with improved apps on desktop / mobile, integrations from existing apps or even something like a web browser addon perhaps.

[–] Wild_Mastic 3 points 1 year ago

Oh cool, so the process is a bit clunky but it can be done. Thanks!

I think so. But we can't microblog here (kbin has both). I know I've seen mastadon users comment on lemmy posts before.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And now to blow everybody's minds, by visualizing that lemmy, mastodon and most other federated services are also inter-connected and can interact with one another.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

See, I keep seeing people say that the federated services can interact with each other but I have yet to understand what that means. I have a lemmy and a mastodon account but I can't figure out how they're supposed to connect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This right here is my question as well. Currently I have created an account and login for Lemmy, Kbin (because there were some instances I couldn't see from Lemmy even though my native instance isn't being blocked or blocking any others), and Mastodon. Do I need a minimum of a Lemmy and Mastodon account to access everything or will one work across all the fediverse?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You don’t need different accounts. I have an account in Mastodon where I follow a community from Lemmy for example.

The thing is you have to manually search and follow communities and people from other services.

So if you go to Mastodon search bar and type “@[email protected]” for example, it will show you the community content as a Mastodon profile and you can follow it and see the posts on your timeline.

They’ve stated that long term they would like reconnect with larger instances. The problem is that federation, afaik, is all or nothing. So they can’t let lemmy world users view their content without also allowing them to post/comment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That is awesome!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've been trying to figure out Lemmy since the black-out and I find this very helpful. Thank you!

[–] okokokokokok 3 points 1 year ago

enjoying very much indeed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Can I somehow block bots? Someone created a soccer club community and is just spamming posts there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This shit is wild, honestly!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi all! I'm having problems with 2fa right now. So i enabled 2fa on my sh.itjust.works, lemmy.fmhy.ml, lemmynsfw.com. but now when i try to log in, all of them says the code is wrong. I'm still logged in to all accounts so i can disable 2fa, but wondering why this is happening.

My app is Authy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably the wrong place for this kind of user support, but I've had the same problem on other services. The solution usually is that your 2FA device's clock is wrong. 2FA needs a synchronized clock between the device and the server.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So how did you fix it? I know about this sync error but never had it with authy before

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Go into your device’s system settings and set the date and time correctly.
