All the communities on lemmy.lukeog.com are mirrors of Reddit boards. lemmy.lukeog.com does not accept posts from Lemmy users – only its bot may post and comment, and its posts and comments are just mirrors of Reddit posts and comments.
This doesn’t seem like a useful way to use Lemmy. It’s more like just a mirror of Reddit, in which case archive.is or web.archive.org would be more useful, in my opinion.
Better not to waste bandwidth and resources on this, in my opinion.
It depends on who defederates who.
In this case, it would mean lukeog’s content no longer appears on this instance (lemmy.world). You would need to browse it directly or another instance that is still talking to it in order to see the content.
Ah okay, so it’s still accessible, but just not by default? Something kinda like what Reddit does with quarantining a subreddit?
I can see how it’s useful to keep “Hot” or “All” feeds clear of junk. But I hope it’s not the case where server admins can choose to totally prevent an instance from being discoverable.
Yeah but imagine you can join a “different” reddit that can see all of them still. It’s only if you’re on this specific instance you won’t see them.
Instead of site->community->user it’s more fediverse->site->community->user. Any site (instance) can talk to - or block - another site (instance).
