Code for people interested https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/admin/routes.py#L373

I commented it out, rebuild the Docker containers and it works now 👍

List of blocked words in community names:

shit
piss
fuck
cunt
cocksucker
motherfucker
tits
memes
piracy
196
greentext
usauthoritarianism
enoughmuskspam
political_weirdos
4chan

Seems like one of the PieFed devs has some opinions about the kind of content they dislike, and are unilaterally forcing that on every PieFed instance. I can somewhat understand filtering out curse words, but specific communities should not blocked by default, and definitely not hidden in a hardcoded list in the source code.

Edit: Important context here: https://lemmy.world/comment/21323475 Seems this blocklist is more limited in scope; it's not blocking federation entirely, just blocking (from what I can tell) their appearance in search and automatically federating with them when adding an instance. Still problematic to exclude specific communities in a non-configurable way with little justification IMO.

Damn this should honestly be spread and talked about more. I don't think many people know this is a thing?

Considering PieFed users won’t shut the fuck up about how much better and less politically opinionated it is, yeah we should probably shout this from the rooftops.

Reminds me of Brave browser users a bit

One of PyFed's selling points was that it was easier to work with than Lemmy. It's going to be amusing when that takes a 180 turn and people start complaining.

Python is great for prototyping and iterating on small projects or as glue for modules written in C and C++. What it isn't great at is linearly scaling on a single node. When the day that throwing more powerful hardware at the problem stops being an option, Kubernetes is going to walk through that door and fuck any semblance of simplicity up.

I would agree with that sentiment, but seems like peoples' actual experiences are a bit different: https://jeena.net/lemmy-switch-to-piefed

Possibly a testament of how software architecture can be more important than any lower level technical decisions.

I think Lemmy has some in-memory data structures that limit the backend to a single node, too. Also postgres is great, but Lemmy really fucked up their database performance somehow.

But yeah large python codebases turn into spaghetti really quickly.
