No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So I've been wondering, how do I see if I'm seing a post from a server that's defederated from the instance I'm registered on? Like for example beehaw, which defederated from lemmy.world.

i was just thinking this too... easy enough to see who we have defederated but idk bout the inverse ... following !

[–] Jellybeen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This sort of thing really puts me off the fediverse. I hate someone else deciding what I should be able to see

You could manually look it up, again not the best answer to your question. https://fba.ryona.agency/

[–] Spzi@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Amazing! I think you fully answered the question, thank you!

@fart@sh.itjust.works, here's yours: https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=sh.itjust.works

This is actually surprisingly hard to do! People will get around to it I'm sure.

So far my most successful method is to googlefu my way through with keywords and browsing posts.

But, here's some fun resources that can kinda-sorta-not-really help:

  1. lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
  2. lemmymap.feddit.de

The map in particular is extraordinarily cool but rather difficult to discern useful info from. I can tell you from it that lemmy.world is currently defederated with only one other Instance. Which is easy to figure out from there at this point.

[–] Xylinna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This doesn't quite answer your question but has some info on defederation - https://lemmy.world/post/149743

[–] SalaTris@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

For any given instance who decides what other instances to federate with? Is it just the arbitrary decision of the server maintainer? The mods? Democracy of the users?

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

If you put /instances after the URL, e.g. beehaw.org/instances, it will list all linked and blocked servers.

[–] ShittyKopper@lemmy.w.on-t.work 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Lemmy the software publishes all (de)federations of an instance at the /instances endpoint

For example, Beehaw's (de)federations are at https://beehaw.org/instances
and my own single-user instance has them at https://lemmy.w.on-t.work/instances (which is slightly different as I run Lemmy 0.18)

If you are looking for the reverse of this, there is a tool that shows that information, but the creators of it are suspicious to say the least (as in, will openly associate with KF kinda suspicious)
