This website is great for looking at defederation: https://fba.ryona.agency/
Mind you, it's not quite perfect. Some instances aren't on there yet - if you compare it with Lemmymap you'll see that both are missing some things.
Holy hell!! There's a mastodon instance with 20342 defederations LMFAO. At this point it would be just easier to whitelist federations they like.
Edit: turns out it's a meme instance run by one person lol
Thanks that's a pretty neat site to check defederation
FediSearch for searching the fediverse in various search engines. It's a bit of a MacGyver solution but can be useful.
Pretty nice I'll add it to the list thanks!
You're doing great work man. Lemmymap and fedi-block in particular seem very neat. It's crazy how many neat open source tools and projects have sprung up around the threadiverse
Thank you for the hard work!
Yeah the community search on Lemmy leaves a lot to be desired. There's no sort function and I'd like to be able to list them in order of activity. At this point I don't know what to do other than scroll through pages and pages of listings. I'll give those searches a try, very helpful.
Filtering would be nice, particularly by instance. I've had a few instances where I've opened the instance directly, saw a few I want to subscribe to, but then had to search for them one by one in my own instance.
However you can set your home instance in Lemmyverse and get links for each instance via your own, where you can subscribe.
there is also sub.rehab which lists replacements for subreddits.
Thanks this is very nice
Thank you!
I don't really understand how to subscribe to an instance that is hosted on a different server?
Like say I want to subscribe to this instance https://feddit.de/c/600euro how would I go on about not just being able to see it but have it in my feed too?
There is one more step once you found an community you'd like to subscribe to. Take the link to the community (something like https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/freemediaheckyeah ) and copy it into your home instance's (the one you've made an account on) search page. for me it looks like this:
Sometimes, it will say "No Results." Just wait a view seconds, and maybe try to refresh. The server it mostly likely retrieving some posts and comments for the first time. Eventually, it will show up, click the result, and you'll be directed to something like https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/freemediaheckyeah@lemmy.fmhy.ml (with your home instance's domain in place of mine) and you can subscribe from there.
Thank you for your work king o7
Is there a way to determine if an instance is defederated? I'm not sure I totally get it yet.
I keep searching for !dndnext@ttrpg.network but it won't appear in communities and I can't tell if its because they are still setting up their instance, FMHY has blocked them, or they have blocked us.
Here's that community: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/dndnext@ttrpg.network
to check if we have deferated someone, just check here: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/instances
to check if we have been deferated, check here: https://fba.ryona.agency/
Amazing post as always ๐ฅ
Great, thank you ๐ค
The only thing that'd be cool is if these community browsers could add the search for other communities as well, like for the kbin aggregator's communities. There's one called RedditMigration (https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration or @RedditMigration) that has more than 250 posts, and it's started on kbin.social. It would be cool to be able to search more easily other communities so that it's easier to find the content on the fediverse.
Kbin can improve its community search too but I am finding it easier to know about other communities not on kbin on its search. Whereas, on lemmy, maybe it's because I'm on a lower population instance, but it's very hard to find a community if it's not on lemmy, and I didn't already just know about it from the kbin account
Communities is definitely limited. You can't sort them, you can't filter them (particularly by instance when looking at All).
The best way to discover new comms seems to be using Lemmyverse, apparently you can set it to your own instance so that links come up in your instance, where you're logged in and can subscribe.
