Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS). Contribute to Fmstrat/lds development by creating an account on GitHub.

Hi all, I’m a Lemmy FOSS app contributor that’s made a couple of tools for people starting small instances including Lemmy Community Seeder (LCS) for building content on new server’s All Feeds and Lemmy Post Purger (LPP) for clearing old posts on smaller instances.

Today I’m releasing Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS). When launching a new Lemmy instance, administrators may not understand the necessity of defederation with problem instances. Using LDS, you can sync your instance’s “blocked instance” list with that of another server(s) whose admins you trust.

    • Lemmy is not a single thing
    • No one is being prevented from visiting defederated instances
    • No one should be forced to view content they find objectionable
    • Neither should they force their views onto others
    • Defederation is the equivalent of walking away from someone you don’t want to engage with
    • Defederation does not delete content on other instances
    • Lemmy is not reddit
    • Defederation is not censorship

      This is when degeneration is used with sanity. However, people just use that feature to cancel people they don’t like. And this hurts smaller instances a lot.
