https://fba.ryona.agency/ is one website that can help, top search box searches for instances that have defederated from the one you entered, the bottom one lists the instances the one you entered defederated from.
It only shows full instance level defederation, not blocked communities though
I recommend avoiding political communities in general. too many extremists on either side of the political spectrum.
btc is bitcoin yes. coinbase is one of the bigger exchanges so that’s fine
if you live in the USA crypto makes your taxes more complicated; the IRS wants to know when you buy and sell it and how much you got it for just like traditional investments.
In the meantime, if you want both reddit like and twitter like functionality, checkout kbin. Kbin federates with both lemmy and mastodon and has both magazines (their version of communities) and microblogging (like twitter/mastodon)
I’m generally fine with it besides aggressive spawn camping
not in a shooter, but one of my favorite past times is chilling out camping a route between places with friends and “guild” mates in an mmo and just chatting and drinking while we wait for someone to stumble in. Sometimes people bring enough friends or heavy equipment to make it a fight. Its chill.
mind replying to the OP since most of us are on instances hes (likely accidentally) blocked?
By setting an allow list hes blocked every other instance not in his list
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html
Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to. BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances. Open: Federate with all potential instances.
Federation is enabled by default. You can add allowed and blocked instances, by adding a comma-delimited list in your instance admin panel. IE to only federate with these instances, add: enterprise.lemmy.ml,lemmy.ml to the allowed instances section.
actually, it looks like theres some issue keeping lemmy.world federating properly with lemmy.ml atm. I saw another post mentioning it and checked myself.
https://lemmy.ml/c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world shows the most recent post as 2 days ago when there was really a post around 4 hours ago.
that’d certainly keep new lemmy.world communities from getting pulled in.
neither server has defederated with the other, so don’t expect it to be a permanent issue
just to make sure, you’re doing it while logged in, right?
if so then thats about it for my ideas…
are you searching “!technicaldeathmetal@lemmy.world” (no quotes)? make sure you wait a bit on the search results; it takes longer to pull in new communities
https://mlmym.org/ can be used for any instance, its just that the lemmy.world people put up their own copy but in single instance mode. The site is ran by the developers of the theme from what I can tell ( its linked to from their github page)
since lemmy.ml is your home instance thats what you’d enter there on that first page
0.18.3 is bringing in more sanitization, probably got missed.
I poked them and they’re working on a fix
Update: fix is in and should be in the next rc. It does work ( built my personal backend from source)
if no one on your home instance was subscribed to the community, it wont get posts or comments. the first time someone on an instance searches the community it seems to just get a few of the old posts but it doesnt get their comments; if you or someone else on your instance subscribes then the instance will get new posts and new comments
it runs fine if you don’t cross-compile and build it on the pi itself ( or emulate an arm system using qemu or similar)
its the internet, they are. Putting it behind cloudflare and locking down the firewall to only allow their ips has filtered out pretty much everything. its free and pretty straight forward if you own your own domain.
check your nginx access logs, I’m sure they’re full of people poking it.

They fixed it ( the 2fa bypass; now resetting password won’t log you in) looks like it’l be in 0.18.3 ( not out yet, but its up to release candidate 3, so soon)
It has the power to run a one user instance, I’m sure it would run into issues trying to squeeze a normal amount of people onto it, but a handful sure.
I run everything off an external hard drive
lemmy can run on a decent variety of hardware, just has to be some thing left on 24/7 and exposed to the internet (be careful, the internet is a hostile place… mine was getting scanned and poked constantly until I put it behind cloudflare and then locked the firewall down to just let in cloudflare), and of course more users take more powerful hardware.
For my personal just me instance though, I’m just running it on a Raspberry Pi 4 I run some other stuff on. Uses less than a gig of memory.
some communities themselves are tagged nsfw. That might cause what you’re seeing.
Just make sure any nsfw stuff you do post you manually check the box as well.
no man, that “shorthand” is exactly how you’re supposed to search for new communities. Its exactly how I’ve added every community to my personal instance
3G generally refers to the 3rd generation of cellular communication (the frequencies and ways a phone communicates with cell phone towers). Phones can’t really be updated between them, the modems in them are made to support what they support and thats it.
3G is being shutdown gradually world wide to make room for better 5G speed and coverage. 5G is the newest generation of cell communication.
3G networks debut in 2001 and 2002. 5G networks started being deployed in 2019.
