I’ve tried searching for other posts that ask a similar question, but I couldn’t fine one that could fully make me understand what it would mean in this scenario.
So far from my understanding is that if I browse All, the instance I’m on won’t show anything at all from the instances that it blocked. But manually doing the workaround would still show me the community and whatever posts that got federated in my instance. Is my understanding correct?
The other topic of federation that I’m interested to understand as a user are below.
The example: fedia.io states in their federation list that it does not federate with ani.social. But ani.social states they federate with fedia.io.
I can go to say [email protected] just fine via fedia.io, although there is some posts that doesn’t show. Is this one of the result of this situation?
Additionally, today I did basically try to subscribe to all the same communities/magazines on my lemmy.world (I’m considering to abandon this account), fedia.io and kbin.earth accounts.
Other than the situation above happened to some communities where some post doesn’t sync, I’ve also found some communities that’s just inaccessible from either 3 instances.
Is that another result of not being federated?
Thanks in advanced.
I went with kbin because I liked the interface better. Im guessing you are also a person who browses on a computer rather than a phone. Unfortunately something happened with earnest so I moved to an mbin instance. There is a third thing sorta in alpha that looks promising and I keep forgetting its name. It might ultimately have a better interface.
I’m kind of am using both on desktop and mobile equally. back when i was active on reddit, I use mobile apps to browse and save comments to later interact and respond more easily on desktop.
the third thing, is it possible it’s sublink or something like that?
piefed seems to be the third defacto for now, but you already said that’s not what you meant.
no its definitely a thing you can sign up to and not a mod in that way. im just not sure if its a unique activity pub implementation like mbin/lemmy or like taking one of those and adding to it. It might even be making changes to activity pub as part of it as there is something I had read in a convo where someone was talking about how communities having to assign something so they get into a particular pool or something.
Piefed? It integrates with a variety of federated things but I haven’t gotten in too deep. I have a similar path as you.
no its either an mbin/lemmy alternative or it might just be mod of it. Its claim to fame was you choose your interests and it sorta autopopulates your subscriptions.
