1·2 years agoYeah, I imagine that’s the equilibrium that the Lemmy Fediverse kind of lands on. At least for subs with more technical mods. I do wonder if this is sufficiently complex that Lemmy, and the Fediverse, in general, stays fairly niche as most users won’t consider that super amazing user experience. But, to me, that’s kind of the interesting and fun part – what happens next in the Fediverse experiment.
One read on this may be that lemmy.world may not be the best instance upon which to host !austin (i.e. if, for whatever reason, they’re not able to maintain federation with other instances).
Another thought is if you really want control over your “home” instance’s federation you could host your own instance and call all the shots. I’ve been considering doing this but mostly out of curiosity. Admittedly you would probably want to be fairly technical for this to be a viable solution.
It also looks like the Lemmy devs have been considering the possibility of implementing profile migration between instances, which could be interesting.
All of that said, I’d be curious to know the specific reasoning given by your last instance on why they decided to defederate. I don’t want to sound accusatory or jump to conclusions but this kind of post strikes me as… FUD.
The hottest coolest time in Texas, in a literal sense.
I did not observe any significant rain.

Frosty margs and a skillet of queso is a state of mind.
That may require another Donk Contest.
Probably the serial killer or something.
That was the hit of nostalgia I didn’t know I needed!
I’m using Firefox. I had been experiencing user error – I did not realize the preview was a function of the URL in a given post. I didn’t want to spam anyone so I created this “sandbox” community. I hope others will also be exploring the quirks and features of Lemmy’s UI. We can all be noobs together :)
Ok, so, the “URL” box is where you want to drop the link to the image to get a preview – i.e. take the URL of the image when you upload it and put it in the URL bar. It makes sense in hindsight.
I grew up in an Apple household. This was way before it was cool. We had an LCIII (one of the ‘pizza’ box 68k Macs). I could only dream of having a 486 or Pentium machine like some of my friends had.
That said there were a couple old 68k Mac games I remember enjoying. Movod II comes to mind… I also remember some of my first experiences on the internet on those 68k Macs. Connecting to AOL with a USRobotics 28.8kbps modem… takes me back.
Well, hopefully, that improves because Jolene will be bummed if she can’t be a major cat influencer in the Fediverse.

I love their cinnamon rolls. Hope you have better luck next time around.
