Hello all,

Just wondering if there are any projects involving lemmy and .onion

I searched and didn’t see anything but I figured I’d ask

If not is there a reason this isn’t possible? Or has nobody cared to do it yet?

When I have to visit r****t I use a libreddit hidden service, and there are quite a few to choose from. Am I correct to think a similar mirror should be about as easy to implement for Lemmy?

an onion only instance where it never touches the clearnet would be really cool too but it would probably be a ghost town (sadly).

Love to hear your thoughts

Thanks

    Hi thanks for the response,

    Not necessarily disagreeing with you but I’ve been posting to lemmy exclusively through tor on multiple accounts for quite a while and haven’t encountered any blocking or issues.

    Some instances may reject certain emails but I’ve been using onionmail with success.

    To be honest I think it’s pretty easy for bad actors to spam/evade bans/etc on lemmy and tor isn’t at all necessary for that.

    Also good point about the federation, thanks for pointing that out.
