Why is the fmhy instance defederated from the lemmygrad instance?

Reply in thread

Before everyone came over from reddit Lemmygrad was even more extreme than it is now, and was one of the largest Lemmy instances.

This is correct. After all, setting up an instance like Lemmygrad -as an alternative places where discussing politics (especially leftist politics) outside of reddit's moderation reach- was one of the reasons Lemmy was developed in the first place. Lemmy's developers are not shy about it, they include it in the official docs.

I think that someone setup a bot farm on lemmy platform

There's definitely bot farming. Someone i know on Mastodon posted this yesterdar: Post in spanish

this is a translations made by google and I changed some words: "I set up an instance of Lemmy, to test a few things. I passed it on WhatsApp to a group of people, so they could look at it. I always had the federation turned off because it's a test instance and I don't want to screw anyone in other instances. I had the configuration that it sends me an email if someone asks to register. Eventually trying configurations, I ended up leaving it with open registers. Last night I got about twenty new account registrations, with names that seem to want to imitate subreddits (ragequit, yolo, hype, things like that; I don't know subreddits like that but it sounds like they might exist). And various things:

  1. This instance doesn't connect to anything, nobody (apart from a group of people who reacted with total apathy to the issue) had that domain. It was not published, it was not federating. Registrations came just the same. It occurs to me that since it is lemmy. there is a bot testing that scheme with different domains.
  2. Lemmy sent me an email letting me know that these people applied for registration, but I can't see the registration application anywhere, because there was no application, there was registration. And that email is turned off by default. With a Lemmy instance configured "out of the box" you wouldn't know.
  3. Maybe it's me, but from the UI (at least on the phone) I can't find a way to see the list of users. I know the names from the email that came to me. The only thing I found is the search engine, and there I can search one by one.

All of this seems to me like a nightmare to moderate. And the truth is that I do not blame the instances of Lemmy at all that are blocking the instances that have open registration."

KBin has taken over Lemmy in monthly active users count

(Some) Lemmy devs seem to have political ideologies that are within the "tankie" settings. That's mostly it. Some people express they feel uncomfortable about it. Such devs hold an instance separate from the flagship instance (lemmygrad.ml), which in my opinion is not bad at all, I think it's better they keep them to themselves giving an option to other instances to block it. They're not trying to shove tankies ideas down anyones throats through the softwate or anything. Though this has leaked to the flagship instance sometimes as shown by this post

Discusión Random Semanal - Semana del 06/04/26

Hola! Hacía tiempo que no pasaba por acá.

Hoy llegó a la clase después de la semana de vacaciones y me espera en la mesita del aula un poster que me hicieron mis alumnos.

::: spoiler Poster :::

Me alegró el lunes. Respondí el cariño haciendo una clase bastante mala en mi opinión. Tengan una linda semana todos!
