Right now Lemmy federate says piefed.social isn’t registered. I went to their matrix and asked the admin about adding lemmy-federate. They said they had attempted to do so but the Lemmy federate bot didn’t recognize their account as an admin account.
With the end of lemm.ee and the piefed.social migration tools we are going to see a lot of communities pop up on piefed.
Would it be possible to either add piefed support or manually flag the piefed social admin account as validated?
While working on this, I realized piefed.social is still defederated from lemy.lol (my instance). The reason is this:
I believed that this was a misunderstanding and that we were federated again after this message. But apparently not.
To express my honest thoughts, this is the stupidest action I’ve ever seen in my 2 years of fediverse experience. Literally the worst reason to knee-jerk.
From what I noticed in the link I entered thanks to @[email protected], they also ban users with “88” in their usernames. This is definitely against my freedom of thought and anti-fascist values.
I’m still open to PRs for it to be added to Lemmy Federate. I personally wouldn’t work on it but if anyone is interested in maintaining it, it’s still possible.
That’s very opinionated, I think some of the flood of new communities heading to piefed.social might have a bad time.
Thanks for illuminating the core problem.
