If I post nsfw onto a community hosted on lemmynsfw, for example, from the sh.itjust.works account, would that breaking the no pron rule, or not necessarily, since it’s posted on a different instance?
Out of curiosity, what is the advantage of changing instance. If all instances are federated and you can, therefore , subscribe to any instance what would be the reason to migrate?
For me, I am weary of lemmy.world getting ddos’d continuously, and wanted to at least have an option of a smaller instance to increase overall distribution of activity on lemmy.
Basically, the big two reasons are the admin and the server. You want an admin you trust and a server that works well.
Yeah, my first (reddit emigrant) account was on lemmy.world as well, and even before the ddos attacks it was strained to the limit and extremely slow. Comments and posts weren’t syncing properly in the federation and everything just took ages to load. Creating an account here was a considerable improvement.
I just didn’t know anything about how the fediverse worked, so I just picked the first server which is recommended on the intropage, and that is lemmy.world. It would probably be a good thing to switch up the sequence of the servers presented on that intro page, because I am sure most people who are unfamiliar with how the whole federation thing works will pick lemmy.world just as I did, and the instance will keep being disproportionately bloated and strained compared to all other instances.
Not all instances are federated. If you go to the bottom of the page and click on “Instances”, you can see what instances are blocked.
For example, feddit.de defederated sh.itjust.works.
If you scroll down to their instances page, you can see this instance blocked at the bottom.
What did we do to piss them off? Where the instancedrama community at? xD
We’ve just had an issue with gross spammers making accounts on this instance and they didn’t wanna deal with it for now. We are planning to approach them about refederation as soon as we can get our moderation tools online and be more effective at blocking and removing offensive content in a timely manner.
Sorry if you already got your popcorn out, kinda boring drama this time 😉
