Hello
-
Is there any possibility to associate local users to groups ?
-
Is there any possibility to limit access per group ? For example, to be able to subscribe/post/comment only to local groups even the server is federated ?
-
Any possibility to automatically insert ads on local server on viewing anything ? Servers cost money and monetization is necessary since donation is just an occasional income.
-
Is it possible to limit federation only to a pre-defined list of internet domains and deny all the rest ?
Thanks.
Later comment in hope that the tech info will be useful for anybody.
Related to no.4 I presume that there is an outside Lemmy hack to achieve this purpose. The container/VM that is hosting Lemmy should use a separate DNS server that can serve records only for the pre-defined list of internet domains and deny the rest.
Please mind that this is just a supposition, I did not test it !
That could indeed work!
4 is possible for the communities themselves; but people interacting with them through other domains wont get filtered.
Hello
To my knowledge
- No
- Yes, communities can be set to “local”
- Not that I know of
- Not sure, sorry
- How will that block access of local users to remote existing communities (subscribe/post/reply/e.t.c.) ? I understand that only new created communities can be set to local only. Maybe I am wrong, can you explain or point to documentation link ?
you can only set a community to only allow local users, not prevent users from interacting with remote communities.
you’d have to either disable federation or set up a script to automatically remove all remote communities, but that also won’t be a per user thing, just a per instance thing.
Best I have is the release notes when they got implemented: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4_-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements
Anyway, thank you.
