Interesting concept, might be a good mod tool too to be able to limit instance interaction on a community level

They say they’ll do it but if they get a enough users without it then I think they might scrape that feature. I can’t imagine it integrates well with their existing code

CAPTCHA is re-enabled so email verification is optional

Le dev est en train de faire une app pour lemmy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy

Ya, I forgot I turned off automatic app updates after something similar with another app

Idk but I logged in on an older version and it didn’t log me out so maybe downgrade it then upgrade it? (Edit: seems like I’m still on 0.33)

Anyone else notice the big difference between https://the-federation.info/platform/73 and https://fedidb.org/software/Lemmy ?

Yes, there is lag in the sync times

Modlogs are public but the other ones are only available on the server. The servers can of course have their own logging too for connections, etc and cloud services would have access to that as well.

A good template could be the Wikimedia one https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy

Also fyi, the code is open source so you could always read exactly what info it’s collecting not that it’s an easy task but tbh I’d rather do that than read legal documents

Something like an IP addresses would have to be connected through your home instance bc that is the site you are connecting to. Generally, privacy policies do not have to cover data that is clearly public (I think you are mixing privacy policy/TOS a bit here). Your posts and comments are public and can only be set as public. Only email address and private data would need to be covered.

I guess you could make up ads for your content but that doesn’t sound like what you’re trying to do. OC is OC. If someone else found your art and posted it with a source, would it be considered an ad to you? Cuz people have been doing that in fanart forums for forever (the artists often have stuff for sale on their pages) and we don’t consider that be ads

Do they have a rule against self-promotion? I thought there was only server-wide rules for ads and spam.

Also beehaw doesn’t appear on the community browser https://browse.feddit.de/

That’s disappointing, I would’ve hoped that if open signups were their main problem then they would have communicated that. Other instances have “closed signups” but are effectively only bot gateways.

Tbh I think an instance not enforcing tagging content as nsfw is probably very strong grounds for blocking imo

It’s not like you could have polled users that hadn’t joined yet anyways. Maybe the blocked list could be made more visible so people could be informed early on before they get too invested in their account?

Sorry wrong person

From what I’ve seen people saying it’s because the users have a reputation for getting overly involved in other instances (skewing voting in news communities) which seems like a recipe for conflict. That kind of thing can have a big impact on a new/small instance, maybe if this was bigger with more mods then it wouldn’t be such a problem. I think some separation of politically extreme communities might be required in general because they mix like oil and fire then spill everywhere.

True, it’s feasible to be an active mod when the communities are small but you’d pretty quickly need to bring in other mods if they start growing too big. It’s certainly nice to have smaller communities around for some topics but for some to function well, they do kind of need a certain amount of active users. I know there’s some concern about too few servers that have all the large communities as well.

I think as more people are intrested in the project, more features will get added eventually.

? I though cloudflare disabled domain fronting?
