How is the Piracy community adapting to port forwarding becoming a rarer premium feature, and most users on public trackers do not have it? Is the bitorrent protocol in need of update? by JayGray91 in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I use Private Internet Access (PIA) and that has port forwarding. I read something about it on reddit but forgot about it, so idk of there's anything bad it controversial surrounding PIA.

How to open a post to their home instance or using another instance? (fedia.io)

I tried making the question makes sense.

So I'll just give an example and my situation:

I'm browsing on fedia.io, clicked open a post that's from a community on lemm.ee, and it opens through my instance.

Say I want to see that post in a) lemm.ee, b) another instance not the home instance of that post, e.g. ani.social.

How I understand it, I'd have to search go to the instance I want and search the post on /all basically.

Any easier or automated way?

I've seen the moist cat mbin instance being promoted a few times in RedditAlternative before I move here, actually. it's one of my considerations jumping instances actually.

Instance A does not federate with Instance B. But B federates with A. What does it mean to a user? by JayGray91 in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[-] JayGray91@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry, I wouldn't know. I'm new and slowly dipping into lemmy and eventually other parts of fediverse. I'm curious too, but idk if I should ask fedia.io's admin about it.

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 !anime@ani.social 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.
