Not at all. We actually block the offending instance.

I know they had a word block list but I’m unsure if it’s still around.

Sounds like it sorts out the right kind of people? I’m not aware of anyone actually asking you to write an essay, no one would do that. 2 short answer questions does not an essay make.

It’ll drop a little, but to a significantly higher level than it was before.

Donations. Click on the heart on the top bar to support Lemmy development and lemmy.ml hosting. Other instances have their own donation boxes

Right now use Windows 10 on my PC. Not interested in 11 at all. I’ve been thinking about buying an old chromebook and tossing Linux (probably Mint) on it. A friend made one of those and I thought it was really neat. Just gotta find the time, I suppose.

I’m not sure if you’re doing anything wrong. Might just be getting unlucky. Try to log on to any of those with your credentials, does it work?

👋 hello!

YetAnotherLemmy.Social coming online now soon?

Yes they do share the same protocol, ActivityPub. This allows the interoperability between the sites.

Yes, nothing prevents them from hitting the button. But the downvote wouldn’t be federated. Beehaw would never know if everyone else was downvoting them.

If you create a new post and you mention the community, it creates a new top level post. For example putting @lemmy@lemmy.ml in a post will post it to the Lemmy community on Lemmy.ml.

You can use a list. I created one a few months back. Some communities might not be active anymore. Will be adding more to this soon.

Oh that’s you! Happy to see that you spread the word.

On the bottom of your page, click on instances. This will show federated and blocked instances. It is at /instances on all Lemmy websites.

They do, given it’s not on your instance. See the attached screenshot, the host website is in the same format you mentioned:

The point of federation (on Lemmy) was to allow the different websites to talk to each other. So your lemmy.ml account can talk to most other websites that run lemmy software. This means create posts on external communities, comments, and be able to follow such communities. For now, the choice was made to keep communities local and not locally federated.

Yes, this is planned.

It is different for sure.

The “lemmy-verse” is really just a bunch of separate websites all running the same software that talks to each other. It’s like email, where you can send an email from a Gmail account, and receive it on an outlook account. The same concept being applied to social media now.
