  • How does lemmy work with federation? Can you get filtered federation (e.g. if you ban a bot user, do their posts still federate)? I feel like this is a very harsh “baby out with the bathwater” kind of solution, but if there’s no middle road, then I trust your judgement that defederation is preferable, at least short-term.

    Actually, do any of the other fediverse platforms allow things like this? I think I heard you were looking into moving to piefed for instance?

    Or can custom code run on import to filter at that step?

    If I can “donate” some programming skills I’d love to help out. I’m mostly working with python these days but I’ve done elixir and c++ so I’ll be able to wrap my head around most things with a bit of effort. It’ll mostly be finding the time I guess. Otherwise I’ll gladly backseat drive from the comments like this 😅


  • I like the idea of opening solarpunk communities on regional servers, but maybe that’s a long term goal and not a short term one? Maybe just a “regional” community on this server is okay? Then people can still get together showing what their region is doing (a bit of pride is good motivation, and visibility matters), without making it about their country or whatever arbitrary borders? Then again each post that would fit should probably fit better in another community…
