Aren’t communities federated or not on a instance by instance basis, though? Did I get that wrong?

Yeah, used the link to access it in the browser from my lemmy account and subscribed. It showed up in sync shortly after

No, I’m logged in. And it’s a small enough instance that I’m sure nobody’s messing with it or defederating it.

Is sync relying on lemmy.world even when my home instance is somewhere else? Doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m not familiar with the sync architecture

Strangely, this might be a bug. The community is on kbin.social, which my home instance is definitely federated with. Searching through the history of my kbin account from lemmy shows no posts or comments to that one specific community (!WanderingInn @kbin.social). @ljdawson, any clue about this?

Actually, doesn’t seem to be an option in kbin

Yes, it is. Thanks, I’ll try that

What’s the difference between lemmy and kbin, as far as Sync is concerned? I don’t mean APIs, but in terms of user experience, what would change for me coming over from kbin?

The biggest obstacle to a YouTube competitor is that YouTube themselves can barely turn a profit. The operating costs are ginormous, beyond what most people realise.

Reddit has been shit, but let’s be honest. That sub was filled to the brim with illegal offers for money. Lawsuits waiting to happen.

Given the prevalence of bots and attempts to pass off fake data as real though, is there still any way to reliably differentiate good data from bad?

Guess it’s about time for Google to kill the project, then.

I wonder who could have foreseen the porn ban leading to this… Oh, wait.

Yeah as I explained earlier, that won’t happen because it’s been proven to be a golden opportunity for abuse.

Correctly implemented, a block system would allow them to see your comments but not reply. I think that’s essentially the major part of what you’re looking for?

1. It’s a Wikipedia link away, it doesn’t require a PhD to read and understand. Why are you assuming I need to study it to know what it is?

2. Would you like to state your views? Because it certainly sounds like you have some that are pent up inside.

I want the ability to cut bs out of my stuff

What are you talking about? Nobody’s disputing that. You seem to have lost the thread of the conversation, which is about preventing people you’ve blocked from seeing your posts. At that point you’re not cutting BS out of your stuff, but other people’s.
