Instances have different purposes and for beehaw, maintaining community standards is more important to them then wider federation, they also explicitly said it was a bandwidth issue for their mod team, that as things settle and tools get better for modding within Lemmy itself they’ll reassess. I don’t find that particulary unusual but I’m also a Mastadon user and that’s very common over there
Exactly what I was thinking. For Lemmy being an alternative to Reddit, yet instances have closed registrations. That is a way to get people not to sign up.
feddit.de does (https://feddit.de/instances) due to fmhy being open registration
although not blocked by beehaw despite them also not liking open registration
Blocking instances for having open registration is some of the weirder shit I have heard recently.
Edit: now that we have a bot problem I’m now against open registration and federating with instances with open registration lol
You won’t like this then https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/59078 (I don’t either)
2 questions.
Fmhy.ml is an entirely separate instance from Lemmy.ml right? Lil confused cuz those are the only ones I’ve seen ending in ml
What instance do we have blocked?
Eta: lemmygrad is the one blocked instance here, personally not gonna miss em.
yes entirely separate. unless the entire “lemmy.fmhy.ml” is identical its a difference instance
Will fmhy also defederate beehaw?
No, we’ll only block extreme instances.

Looks like this is the only ‘big’ instance blocking us so far. It feels weird, but I guess this is something we’ll need to get used to
Not anymore, apparently
