Why is programming.dev federated with exploding heads? (programming.dev)

I understand the reasoning but I think it's not the same situation as lemmygrad, which I feel is a normal instance with an ideological bent. Exploding heads is just violent propaganda. I hope you defederate.

What about hexbear? Is programming.dev federated with them? Or are they intentionally defederated with everyone?

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

hexbear split off and has been running their own fork for awhile separate from the rest of lemmy (so they couldnt federate with lemmy instances). They are coming back now though so lemmy instances will start to be able to interact with them soon

Hexbear is already federated. They're fine when interacting with other instances.

Ah yeah just checked and looks like I see can see their communites, didnt realize they already joined in. So yes we are federated with them atm, just if a community hasnt been subscribed to yet by anyone the posts from it wont show up in the feeds

I can enter a community but I can't see any posts. For example: https://programming.dev/c/indigenous@hexbear.net

Weird, what might be happening is posts from before they were federated dont show up but ones after are. Theres posts in !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

I think it might be due to discoverability? I remember reading something about that. If no one in this instance is subscribed to an external community, the server doesn't load their posts, or something like that.

Edit: OH what a dummy, you just said that lol.

Not from what I've seen. They filled up 90% of a thread about China/Taiwan with hundreds of comments supporting the CCP. Quite a few were just troll messages, too.

Thanks for the info.
