Is there a way to see which instances a Mastodon instance has defederated with? For lemmy instances, for example, you can go to
/instancesto see a list of other connected and blocked instances.I just did, and noticed a bunch of supposedly-federated mastodon instances, but in reality I've never seen them in my 'all' stream.
Are they not supposed to show up there?
Lemmy uses a feature called "groups" to denote the community a post is in. Mastodon doesn't support groups yet. Once it does, I would think those posts may federate with Lemmy.
My understanding is that the 'all' feed only shows posts that come from accounts followed by people on your instance. You can follow anyone from any federated instance; and when you do, their posts will appear in your personal feed, and also in the 'all' feed for everyone on your instance. People are aren't followed by anyone on your instance won't show up in the 'all' section.
I've believe I've seen something like that stated before, but we're talking *zero* mastodon content showing up in ALL. Which happens to be the same instance as yours, btw, with Lemm.ee being the third largest instance in the Lemmysphere. You'd expect at least a little mastodon content showing up, but there's just nothing.
So far the two resources just don't seem to be mixing, so perhaps what the other person was saying is correct. Right now in order to search mastodon, I'm using this tool.
Thank you for sharing Fediverse Explorer, super useful!
That list shows all instances that your instance is kinda sorta maybe aware of.
For example, if I searched the profile link for someone or some group from a Masto instance and didn't do anything with it, that instance would still get on that list because it asked the Lemmy instance about info on that profile/community.
Oof, pardon this tragically late reply.
So... TBH I don't quite understand what you're saying.
From my POV, I'm envisioning a way where Mastodon content could populate the ALL feed of Fediverse users, for example us lemmings. Do you reckon that's possible?
Note: I already know how to search mastodon content btw, via tools like this
On desktop there should be a small "about" link in the bottom left, from which there is a "moderated servers" dropdown menu where you can see defederated servers. I don't see anywhere to view the servers you ARE federated with, but if it's listed at ~~Mastodon's official website~~ (whoops, I actually meant this)it's probably in.
I don't see anything on the official Masto app, but that app is just missing a ton of functionality in general.
FYI the official website is https://joinmastodon.org/servers, not whatever you linked to
Only one I found so far was https://fba.ryona.agency/
The caveat is that it was made by kiwifarms
I've used it to quickly check defederated instances but, yeah, kiwifarms is a problem.
Also, look at the GitGud repo
They literally licensed it under an AGPLV3+[n-word] license

You people are insane

THEY STOLE ALL ME KIWI CHARMS!!
@charlie_root @0x2d @sure We know irish man, we know.
@dcc @0x2d @sure
Thank you Greek man for inventing math and philosphy and fuck the Turkos, bunch of goat loving interlopers.
@charlie_root @0x2d @sure Thank you good sir
@dcc @0x2d @sure
He're a conscience puzzle, like the railroad. You have a herd of goats, and a really big shepard dog to protect them, however....
The shepard dog is really into a female goat in heat and starts raping her. What do you do as a rancher/farmer?
@charlie_root @0x2d @sure Shear the Sheppards balls off :mc_gibblets:
@dcc @0x2d @sure
But he's literally your last line at the middle of the night while your sleep and moutain lions, foxes, coyotes prey on your livestock (chickens too).
@dcc @0x2d @sure
Also I'm not being weird, when I worked on that ranch in California this thing happened literally. And when I tried to get that ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD DOG (greek) off the goat it growled at me like never before. I wasn't fucking with that beast...
@charlie_root @0x2d @sure Its called neutering sir
@dcc @0x2d @sure
But your making it weak? It defeats the purpose.
@charlie_root @0x2d @sure Last i checked it does not
@dcc @0x2d @sure
So police and military dogs are neuterd too??
@charlie_root @0x2d @sure Good question, i think so although dont quote me.
There's defed.xyz as an alternative, but it only tracks defederations between lemmy instances for now.
cool! I'll check that one out
@mint@ryona.agency have you read this thread on the remote instance? pure cancer induced by soy milk
@pomstan @0x2d Well, what else you'd expect when gene splicing redditors and mastodon users?
@mint@ryona.agency @0x2d@lemmy.ml a conviction in the international criminal court
