Wow. Stickied THAT to !lemmy411@lemmy.ca thanks!
Cool!
Cans has source? I’ve been hacking on a per-instance community scraper (that pulls a list of communities from the community directory page) for !lemmy411!lemmy411@lemmy.ca, in an attempt to have a regularly published community list, but I’m a bit bogged.
Unknown - Lemmy is a bit less “mature” than some of the other Fediverse platforms like Mastodon where you can at least export your data. All we have is “delete my account” for example.
If the instance goes away, that’s a good question. Certainly federated instances stop receiving anything from it. Will instances that have users who have subscribed to its communities still see cached posts etc? Probably. Unless there’s a “Im going away, purge my stuff from you” msg in the AP that I dunno of (haven’t finished reading it), a subscribing instance might just think “well, its unavailable at the moment Ill try later.”
Having said this, when you follow a community from mastodon, you get posts and replies all in a big jumble (readability of said jumble is up to your Masto client’s implementation), and posts/comments appear as boosts from the @community user.
The other way around. You can subscribe to/follow Lemmy/Kbin communities from mastadon accounts. e.g. from mastodon you can follow @lemmyworld@lemmy.world like a regular user.
The killer app will be the ability to follow hashtags like communities from Lemmy/Kbin. Its early days.
You’re missing the precursors:
Email -> Newsgroups -> CGI forums / IRC -> Slashdot… :)
The new Fediverse really is kicking up IRC and newsgroup vibes for this old timer. Its very exciting.
Also be sure to x-post these to !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca.
Also search for stuff at !lemmy411@lemmy.ca
/r/AskHistorians - ruthlessly and efficiently moderated, but every single post a fascinating read. I should msg Zukhov to see if he wants to move ship to /c/AskHistorians.
The 509 section on Applicability seems to restrict this to services specifically targeting or deliberately creating environments suitable for, or providing attractions that can only be reasonably targeted to minors.
So if you don’t create kidzone.world or a blues clues community you’re probably alright, if you can show you don’t target or encourage minor participation.
