If any admins of lemmy.world are around, I created [email protected] for the explicit reason of sharing copyright protected music. Can you ban it too? Wouldn't want to get you guys in trouble with mommy and daddy.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

So did I miss a setting where an instance can ban remote communities for its user base? I know a user can ban individual communities now but I didn’t realize it could be done at an instance level for all users of that instance.

Just like you can defederate from an instance, you can selectively defederate from parts of that instance.

Luckily it doesn't affect anything beyond people who insist on using only one instances (world). Glad to have dbzer0 around.

I have four accounts on the four instances that host communities I am interested in.

It's a mild pain and definitely not what we were promised, but I guess that's the only way federation can really work in practice (especially considering when an instance is blocked user on the blocker side just continue to see it frozen in time, with no warning as to what's going on)

Are the 4 instances defederated from eachother? If they aren't then you could just have 2 accounts
