I'm experiencing similar things:
- Posts made here not appearing on other federated instances
- Posts made by other federated instances disappearing or never appearing in communities here
I've checked with alt accounts created on lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works which are subscribed to the same communities.
@ruud@lemmy.world Is there a federation issue?
Edit: I think this is a problem with all communities on lemmy.ml. I'm new to the fediverse concept, but the issue seems to specifically be with them.

Lemmy.world has been acting strangely since yesterday's upgrade, and has also been getting hugged by Reddit refugees.
I think it's having issues right now seeing posts elsewhere in the fediverse, and sharing posts made on lemmy.world with other servers.
Using an alternate account on lemm.ee I can see a lot of lemmy.ml posts in here that aren't visible on lemmy.world, and none of those instances seem to be defederated from each other.
I expect it's just growing pains and will be resolved soon.
tl;dr You might want to make an alt.
Lots of AI news, which suits me. While [UnderUnderstood](https://underunderstood.com/podcast/) feels more like the spiritual successor to Gimlet's Reply All, the co-hosts of Hard Fork (Kevin Roose and Casey Newton) banter in a way that reminds me of P. J. Vogt and Alex Goldman.

Have you found any articles comparing the two IRL, rather than just by specs? I've struck out looking for YouTube videos. I expect that's due to the Defy being new.
I don't remember what Dan is talking about (I think it might have been gay marriage) but he says something along the lines of "Just don't oppose it. Just stand out of their way. It's literally the laziest way to be a hero." I'm not doing it justice. Does anyone remember the quote or the ep? I tried keyword searches of https://harmon.city but couldn't find it.

If "master" unintentionally made some people uncomfortable then there's no harm in changing the default, since you can modify it if you choose.

Just woke up. Kinda hung over. Partially-eaten mac & cheese on stove. Was out of bacon. Used fried hot dogs and frozen broccoli instead. Added ranch. Demon gone. Smell of sulfur lingers. Left soul. Took wallet? Might have been fat, gassy neighbor and not demon. Was pretty drunk.

Nah dawg, he's not down with that. But thanks for trying.
So I was hungry and bored and a little drunk and decided to make some homemade macaroni and cheese. I found this old leather-bound book that looked like a cookbook, so I opened it and followed a recipe. Turns out it was like the Necronomicon or something and I summoned a demon. He’s sitting on my couch right now being a dick, watching Netflix and drinking my beer. He won't leave and says he's going to take my soul unless I make him the world's best mac and cheese. I have a box of crappy dollar store instant mac in the pantry. What can I do to make it better? I don't have any crazy ingredients like fancy cheeses or truffles. Help.

I notice you're really putting in the work getting this community started. Thanks for that!
I have an InReach Mini 2 but am thinking about picking up a Motorola Defy to try as an alternative. I'm mostly out day-hiking, but usually in remote areas which are sparsely-populated where cell signal is inconsistent. Only a few times a year am I lucky enough to find time for multiple-day hikes. Garmin is reliable, and I'm in their ecosystem with my watch, too. But I'm a sucker for new tech, and the Defy looks interesting. Anyone have any thoughts either way?

I think that's why admin posts to lemmyworld
would make sense.
"This week we blocked these 5 instances for these reasons and these 2 external communities for these other reasons. Discussions are open here until we lock the thread."
My question is _not_ about defederating from Exploding Heads. I support that [well-documented decision](https://lemmy.world/post/747912) by the admins. However I have noticed the Blocked Instances list at https://lemmy.world/instances growing, and I was wondering if and where the admins are announcing new blocks. (I thought https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld but there doesn't appear to be consistency there.) Specifically I was curious about [Lemmit.Online](https://lemmit.online/post/14692) which is now blocked. I searched [c/lemmyworld](https://lemmy.world/search/q/lemmit.online/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/5/creator_id/0/page/1) and [c/general](https://lemmy.world/search/q/lemmit.online/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/11700/creator_id/0/page/1) for announcements or discussions about that instance being blocked, but found nothing. I _think_ I understand the admins' justification (though I don't agree with it) but would like to know why the "nuclear option" of defederation was chosen. I believe (but don't know since there was no announcement) that it was a reaction to Lemmit.Online communities appearing too frequently at the top of "All" + "Hot." Lemmit.Online exists solely to copy posts from requested subreddits. I've found it really helpful to monitor all my small population subreddits, where there is not yet a viable Lemmy community (not just where someone started a community but a useful one with active members and equivalent posts.) In most cases I'm happy with the links being shared, and don't need to click through to Reddit for the discussions. Since Lemmit.Online communities are just copies of subreddit posts, though, I do understand folks not wanting to see them at the top of "All." But doesn't almost everyone move to "Subscribed" pretty quickly? Or can't it be a teaching moment to understand how to block a community as an individual user if you don't want to see a Lemmit.Online community in "All?" I also think the admins have the ability to block individual communities, so if it's a matter of specific noisy Lemmit.Online communities with established Lemmy equivalents then why not block only those communities rather than the entire instance? I mean, I don't like meme posts. I ignore them if browsing "All" and I don't subscribe to those communities. If I really, really dislike seeing them in "All" then I have the choice to block those communities. Problem solved for me without removing the ability for anyone in the instance who does like them to see them. But Lemmy.World defederating Lemmit.Online removes the ability for those of us who found those communities useful to make our own choice. I'd like to better understand the admins' decision to defederate the entire instance, and if we users have the option to appeal (or at least discuss) the decision. **tl;dr** - Do admins post announcements explaining defederations, and where? - Is there an appeal process? If not, should there be?

This is being discussed in https://lemmy.world/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml too. You might want to check out that Community.
There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.
My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.

Thanks. My job's gotten busier since I bought my DS412+ and it's been sitting virtually unused for awhile. I'm hoping someone can provide directions that are just a step above "click to install" because I'm (too busy/too lazy/too clueless <-- pick one) to DIY it.
Are there any Synology users who might be able to write up step-by-step instructions for installing Lemmy (maybe using [Lemmy-Easy-Deploy](https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy)) and [Wefwef](https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef#self-host-docker-deployment) on a Synology DS412+ with Docker and Portainer? Bonus points for configuration instructions using non-standard ports and [DuckDNS](https://www.duckdns.org/) dynamic DNS.

My understanding is that a Lemmy Instance Admin has control over Users and Communities originating on their Instance, and can (in extreme circumstances) defederate from another Instance, so that Users and Communities from that Instance are not visible to their Instance's Users.
An individual Lemmy User can block a specific User or Community, but not yet an Instance (though that feature appears to be planned.)
Therefore you might want to simply block the offensive User or Community.
If you feel strongly about reporting, then you should contact the Admin of the Instance hosting the Community.
If your report isn't resolved to your satisfaction then you may want to escalate to the Admin of your Instance to inquire about blocking the Community for all Users on your Instance, or even defederating from the offending Instance (though this is the "nuclear option" as it would affect ALL Communities and Users from that Instance.)
tl;dr You have the power to block Communities you don't like. That option is found in the Sidebar.

True, and backpacking bidets are inexpensive enough that I bought one before being convinced that I'm going to bring it along. I just haven't been to bring myself to try it.
I suppose what I'm looking for is the adoption ratio of people who have tried them, if that makes sense.
Like, there are some people who will throw out any food that touches the floor. Then there are the majority of folks who believe in the "5-second rule." And there are some who would eat an M&M they discovered off the floor of a dive bar bathroom. I'm personally a "5-second rule."
I figure bidet adoption probably has a similar spectrum, and I'm asking for input from folks at neither extreme who have tried them.

I have never of tp being called this, but I am totally stealing it
I'm mostly a day-hiker. I'd rather hike farther than carry more. I'm slowly Passage-hiking the [Arizona Trail](https://aztrail.org/), and there are stretches where overnights will be unavoidable. I'm not going to cut down my toothbrush, but I do want to carry as little as possible. I hear positive things about backpacking bidets, but the concept seems (to put it delicately) "optimistic" to me. I may attempt the "try it afterwards in your shower at home" advice I've seen elsewhere, but that seems...gross. Am I missing something, or is my risk tolerance misaligned with the reality of roughing it?

Now imagine if your PlayStation can cross-play with a Nintendo Switch, and the XBox can cross-play with a PC. However, PC and Switch do not cross-play. That’s kind of how the Federation works. Different ‘hubs’ can pick and chose which other ‘hubs’ they talk to.
This is one of the best explanations I've seen. Thank you.
Slightly off-topic, but your example actually helps lessen my concern with what I understood about "defederating."
I almost "noped" on using Lemmy because I saw defederating as removing the choice from me as an individual. Instance admins can, at any time, remove my option to engage with users in another instance. Welcome to the echo chamber.
But your example helps me see defederation in a slightly different light. I still get why it's called "the nuclear option," but it's maybe more like "We don't talk to Nazis, even if they don't bring up white supremacy while discussing beekeeping."
So while I still don't think the decision to defederate by Beehaw makes sense, I do have less concern about defederating as a concept. (Although I still want the ability to transfer my posts and comments to a different instance, should my instance admin make a decision I disagree with.)
Thanks again!

As a lemmy user, you should (assuming everything is working correctly) be able to follow any magazine on Kbin exactly as if it was a community on Lemmy, so no need for FOMO.
This is what I was hoping to hear. Thanks.
Gamera8ID 1 year ago • 100%
This is helpful, thanks.
It doesn’t cost you anything to sign up for, so give it a try.
The main cost is time, to understand the platform and to find community. I created a Kbin account, but I don't see myself having the time to be divided between Kbin and Lemmy so I'm hoping not to have to maintain both.
Kbin federates with Lemmy - so users can engage in each other’s posts.
This gives me hope. So is it basically just a different UI? This is where my understanding of the fediverse breaks down.
Gamera8ID 1 year ago • 0%
Can you elaborate?
I read that Kbin defederated with Lemmy because it couldn't initially handle the influx of new users migrating from Reddit, but that it has federated again.
So is it a Lemmy instance, like Beehaw?
I know that Kbin doesn't use communities ("/c/") but uses magazines ("/m/") so I thought it was different.
I also read that there was some new way to post to Lemmy from Mastadon, but I thought those were different, like Reddit and Twitter. But they both rely on something called "ActivityPub"?
So is Kbin similar to Lemmy (by being Reddit-like), but distinct like Mastadon (which is Twitter-like)?
I didn't have a Twitter account, but was a heavy Reddit user. I don't have a Mastadon account, but I'm liking Lemmy. However I have some FOMO about Kbin because I don't understand how it all works together.

True, but the writer's room is the real star of R&M and it's been reported that Roiland stopped collaborating there years ago. Hopefully it'll only be disconcerting for a minute or two, but Solar Opposites being first to have a clip out could make it harder for R&M to pull off "<Belch.> I just sound different now! Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!" without looking like a copycat.
Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Legion, Gaslit) has been tapped to take over the lead role in the animated series that was originally created by Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Dustin Roiland, who was ousted in January amid domestic violence charges.

I made a slight modification to your bookmarklet asking to which instance you are migrating, which produces a list of links you can paste into something like https://www.openallurls.com so it becomes just a matter of clicking all of the "Subscribe" buttons:
javascript:(function() {
const currentHostname = window.location.hostname;
const tld = prompt("Please enter the name of the instance to which you are migrating:");
const table = document.getElementById('community_table');
const anchorTags = table.getElementsByTagName('a');
const communityUrls = [];
for (let i = 0; i < anchorTags.length; i++) {
const title = anchorTags[i].title.substring(1);
const parts = title.split('@');
const community = parts[0].trim();
const domain = parts[1] ? parts[1].trim() : currentHostname;
const communityUrl = `https://${tld}/c/${community}@${domain}`;
communityUrls.push(communityUrl);
}
const urlsText = communityUrls.join('\n');
navigator.clipboard.writeText(urlsText)
.then(() => {
alert('Community URLs copied to clipboard!');
})
.catch((error) => {
alert('Failed to copy Community URLs to clipboard:', error);
});
})();
