Based on comments in other posts, this instance has not upgraded yet because captcha is not working in the most recent version.

I’m unsure if there’s a way to bypass that screen, I’m still logged in on mine but I did it before the app update.

Well one rather disappointing difference is the posts cannot load with javascript off. While I understand why actions cannot work without javascript it still would be nice if basic functionality (seeing posts) worked.

Edit: Tested with Firefox 114.0.1 (Flatpak) with μBlock Origin 1.50.0 disabling javascript

Re-posted!

Agora (ἀγορά) is a great name for a community! I’m looking forward to seeing the posts in it.

I do have a question about the donations. Some projects/sites have a donation “goal” to keep a project going for a certain amount of time. Will you be doing something similar? Along the lines of a goal of X amount of $CAD to maintain the instance’s running costs for one year.

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn’t even notice the kiwi farms git link at the bottom of the site.

Here is the post on Beehaw announcing the defederation from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world

Tldr; there is a lack of moderating tools for this platform and given the community that Beehaw wants to create they cannot federate with large open-regestration instances. A few bad actors on these two instances were causing too much moderation hassle so they decided to defederate. They also wish for more granular federation controls akin to Mastodon, to avoid the nuclear option of defederation. At the time they also only had 4 moderators for the entire instance (people can’t create their own communities)

Since then they have gotten more mods, and TheDude (our instance admin) has reached out to beehaw and they are currently collaborating which will likely lead to refederation (more can be found in this post on Beehaw)

The links you posted are the inverse of what I was looking for was this. Regardless that is a very nice website! I find it interesting that it shows different instances blocking sh.itjust.works than what I found on Lemmy map.

I wouldn’t sweat this cosocial thing, it will probably never impact you in a perceivable way.

I am not worried about it! I was more so curious if a larger instance had blocked us, since then it has some utility to know when commenting in communities on other instances. E.g. if someone from beehaw comments on !privacyguides@lemmy.one I know not to reply to them considering they won’t see my comment (unless my understanding of federation is incorrect)

Thank you! I have edited my post to reflect this

Memmy seems like it will progress quite well, if you want something more fully featured I would suggest adding Lemmy as a progressive web app

You can do this from the “share” menu in Safari while on the home page of your lemmy instance (in this case http://sh.itjust.works).

For the sake of argument I’ll approach this from a different perspective than everyone else.

Depending on jurisdiction there might be implications in hosting an instance that is federated with instances that host loli. I’m not familiar enough with Canada’s laws and / or le Code Civil du Québec to know if it is considered CSAM, but assuming it is does federating with those communities replicate the media on this instance as well? Would this count as ‘redistributing it’?

I actually am a little curious what TheDude’s opinion is on open vs closed registration policy. If having a closed registration policy is all that is needed for beehaw to refederate then perhaps that is an option, otherwise let us just hope the necessary mod tools (or more than 4 beehaw mods) happen to allow for refederation. It’s a shame since I feel like this is a really important / formative time and I do not think larger instances defederating is productive.

But that’s just my uneducated 2 cents :p

I suggest viewing !plugins@sh.itjust.works as there are a few options to remove the padding on the sides.
