can you report a community?

My understanding is that a Lemmy Instance Admin has control over Users and Communities originating on their Instance, can block Communities on other Instances for all of their Instance's Users, and can (in extreme circumstances) defederate from another Instance, so that Users and Communities from that Instance are not visible to their Instance's Users.

An individual Lemmy User can block a specific User or Community, but not yet an Instance (though that feature appears to be planned.)

Therefore you might want to simply block the offensive User or Community.

If you feel strongly about reporting, then you should contact the Admin of the Instance hosting the Community.

If your report isn't resolved to your satisfaction then you may want to escalate to the Admin of your Instance to inquire about blocking the Community for all Users on your Instance, or even defederating from the offending Instance (though this is the "nuclear option" as it would affect ALL Communities and Users from that Instance.)

tl;dr You have the power to block Communities you don't like. That option is found in the Sidebar.

Edited to include @[email protected]'s option.

As a lemmy user, you should (assuming everything is working correctly) be able to follow any magazine on Kbin exactly as if it was a community on Lemmy, so no need for FOMO.

This is what I was hoping to hear. Thanks.

This is helpful, thanks.

It doesn’t cost you anything to sign up for, so give it a try.

The main cost is time, to understand the platform and to find community. I created a Kbin account, but I don't see myself having the time to be divided between Kbin and Lemmy so I'm hoping not to have to maintain both.

Kbin federates with Lemmy - so users can engage in each other’s posts.

This gives me hope. So is it basically just a different UI? This is where my understanding of the fediverse breaks down.

Subscribed communities copyer

I made a slight modification to your bookmarklet asking to which instance you are migrating, which produces a list of links you can paste into something like https://www.openallurls.com so it becomes just a matter of clicking all of the "Subscribe" buttons:

javascript:(function() {
  const currentHostname = window.location.hostname;
  const tld = prompt("Please enter the name of the instance to which you are migrating:");
  const table = document.getElementById('community_table');
  const anchorTags = table.getElementsByTagName('a');
  const communityUrls = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < anchorTags.length; i++) {
    const title = anchorTags[i].title.substring(1);
    const parts = title.split('@');
    const community = parts[0].trim();
    const domain = parts[1] ? parts[1].trim() : currentHostname;
    const communityUrl = `https://${tld}/c/${community}@${domain}`;
    communityUrls.push(communityUrl);
  }

  const urlsText = communityUrls.join('\n');

  navigator.clipboard.writeText(urlsText)
    .then(() => {
      alert('Community URLs copied to clipboard!');
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      alert('Failed to copy Community URLs to clipboard:', error);
    });
})();
