I couldn't give two shits about political mumbo jumbo, but I do care about defederation.

Made my account during the reddit exodus some years ago. Could you explain how bad the situation is? Like which major instaces am I defederatd from (again, don't really care about any particular instances, just the accessibility of any major subreddit equivalents that are hosted there - dunno what they're called in lemmy)

While you're at it could you also recommend a good instance to migrate to? Ideally a populated one that doesn't get involved in this left right communist capitalist bullshittery too much.

    I know that Lemmy.cafe is defederated from your instance, which hosts an active mealtime videos and documentaries community, if that interests you.

    A good neutral instance would be sopuli.xyz if you want to stick with Lemmy, or piefed.ca if you'd like to give the piefed interface a try.

    Piefed has some neat features unique to it, such as:

    • a very nice gallery view for image heavy communities.
    • the ability to combine comments from multiple communities/instances under one post, if the same link was posted to all of them. You can see an example of that here (notice how the comments have dividers for each community).
    • the ability to create and subscribe to a pre-made list of communities, sorta like a multi-reddit.

    Thanks for the breakdown.

    If you don't mind me asking, why is it that some posts on mealtimevideos are still visible to me? The newest one I can see while viewing from here is from 9 days ago. I'm assuming this is a quirk of how defederation works, but not sure how exactly.

    I believe that the defederation is only one way (from .cafe's side), so while your instance will no longer request new content from .cafe, if a user from your instance manually inputs a direct link to a post from .cafe, I think it can still be fetched one at a time (might be somewhat wrong about that, but I'm pretty sure that's the gist of it).

    However, any posts or comments left to that community would only be seen by other users on your own instance, it would not federate out.
