Comment by GeekFTW@kbin.social on Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance.

I did a search from shitjustworks for “reddit die” and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a “ping” sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

You can, it’s called hosting your own instance. It’s literally one of the points of the Fediverse (i.e. ‘Fuck you I don’t like how you’re running things, I’ll go make my own with blackjack and hookers’). If an instance admin does things you don’t like, you get to leave, go to a new instance, and follow the same communities you did before via that one instead.

So you’re telling me hosting my own instance is called “hosting my own instance” what in the fuck

I know right? Magical!

I still wouldn’t be seeing the content that mods are censoring elsewhere.

Any community that isn’t 100% fully owned and operated by you, yourself, Mango, is going to run into the risk of a mod ‘censoring’ or deleting something that you wanna see.

Any and every community. Here, Reddit, Facebook, any social media, any forum public or private. If you yourself don’t own and run it in its entirely, that’s a problem you cannot avoid.

So I mean this without any real intended offense but: shit or get off the pot. Run your own community that connects to no other system or service run by other people and hope the people you wanna talk to drop by, or tbh get used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Can revenge-downvote me all you want Pepsi but I’m right on this one lol.

You know how ublock origin works? You pick out lists of filters that people have made. You’re basically subscribing to moderators.

I don’t think I’m interested in a platform that doesn’t function that way. It’s the only way to make sure moderators aren’t just deciding the narrative for everyone else. It doesn’t matter if the majority of people agree with a moderator’s decisions of those decisions are wrong.

Well I wish you luck in finding what you’re looking for, but Lemmy/Kbin by definition isn’t it.

I might have to make it.

Nostr is what you’re looking for. People who hate mods, defederation, and want a free speech chamber, look no further. You can host your own relay if you want but it doesn’t make very much of a difference since accounts are independent from servers.

Just be aware that most people dislike this undermoderated enviornment due to how toxic it can get, but it seems like that’s what you’re looking for so I don’t think it’ll be that much of an issue for you.

I run a modabuse community for whining about mods and hopefully holding them accountable

That’s all well and good, but my issue is with what I don’t see because it’s hidden.

the modlogs are public

The modlogs public to see removed comments. Just a bit difficult to navigate through currently

That’s ok for auditing a moderator, but no good for seeing everyone’s stance on the particular topic or post I’m interested in.

A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
