Hey peeps, let’s have a chat.

Do you have anything that you would like to see improved around the divisions by zero? I’m always up for enhancements I could implement. I can’t change the lemmy source, but I can do plugins and other hacks.

You can mention anything, from tech stuff, to softer social stuff.

    Would there be a way to enable it but prevent the local version that retrieves communities from being able to do that, so we could share our communities with other servers without getting the servers from all other instances. I did make an issue for this in their github, but it might be a while before that happens.

          Hm, I am a bit concerned because it’s meant for small servers. I am concerned on the ethical question of going in “seed-only” mode as a big server

            Sorry to bother you, I know it’s been a while but have we considered possibly enabling this? I asked lemmy-federate’s creator about it and he said small servers was only an example so I’m not really sure anymore that there are ethical challenges with it. But it is your decision, I don’t want to pressure you. I just think it would be good for people here since it is very hard to start communities on the Fediverse due to them not appearing on other servers until someone searches for and subscribes to them. The reason why this tool was created.

            I think @[email protected] and other people here trying to start communities would agree.

        What happens if you enable the instance and add a bot account for it but ban the bot account it is using (possibly silently through DB query so it doesn’t appear in modlog) would lemmy-federate immediately change the instance status to disabled imediately or would it still continue to allow it to work but just give errors when trying to federate external communities to here?
