I discovered programming.dev after I registered at Lemmy.world, and wanted to see how well federation works.

I looked through your list of communities, I think [email protected] is the best place for this test post, but I apologize if there’s a better place for this that I didn’t see.

That being said, I might as well ask a question as part of this test-post / cross instance test discussion!

With different communities having different signup policies(ex: Beehaw.org vs Lemmy.world) and the threat of defederation existing… how does programming.dev plan to deal with problematic servers?

I’m a pessimist. I feel like inevitably, some kind of flamewar or drama will cause cross-board invasions between subreddits (and now, different [email protected] on Lemmy).

I don’t think anyone knows the answer, but I guess I wanted to muse upon something to make this post more substantial than just a test post. Thanks for having me!
