Unfortunately, it appears that federation is broken on this instance.
While I appreciate you for creating this site, it’s not very useful if [a] other lemmy instances can’t subscribe to communities here and [b] accounts here can’t subscribe to other instance’s communities.
We should be able to subscribe, read, upvote, downvote, comment, etc on posts in other lemmy instance communities. And they should be able to interact with us here, too. That’s the spirit of federation!
I hope that this was just a misconfiguration (I’m also new to lemmy) and that the /u/admin will change this so that monero.house can interact with other lemmy instances.
Initially it was deliberately locked down since I really didnt want bot comments on here at all. Since it doesnt appear like federating takes much storage, we should probably add more instances to our list but Im a little concerned about trolling. Most of the Lemmy community is very left leaning and i dont know how they feel about xmr 😅
I don’t understand why the left would be opposed to XMR? I say try it and then tighten restrictions only as-needed.
I meant the tankies lemmy is known for :P I’ll set federation to public and monitor it for a while.
thanks! by “public” do you mean that previously it was set to “allowlist” and now you’re changing it to “open”?
I’m also curious how users can query what is the state of this configuration value for a given server instance. Any idea?
Yeah we had an allow list for a few very small instances. House is running on the defaults which looks like this.
