I believe this is coming in the next release (v1.0.0)

You can check it out at https://voyager.lemmy.ml/

Piefed does have that feature, if that’s what you are asking.

I made a feature fequest for modmail a year ago in their Github repo. Dessalines said:

Will re-open if anyone wants to work on this, but its way out of scope for us.

So if anyone wants to work on it, go ahead.

Oh ok, I now get what you mean.

Because of how federation works, that (or those, depending on what client you use,) badges or indicators can’t be completely hidden.

Lemmy devs could I guess hide it in the API, but it would be as hidden as votes are right now (e.g. if someone really wanted to, they could spin up a temporary instance to get that info). I mean, look at what https://lemvotes.org/ does.

And in this case, you don’t even need an instance, you can literally just use browser.pub on your browser right now to get the moderators activitypub collection: https://browser.pub/https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fc%2Fasklemmy%2Fmoderators

What do you mean? There is already a “speak as moderator” function in Lemmy.

Put them out of their misery.

Seems like the aggressive seeming thing was a post that had the title “Video games where you get to kill US soldiers”.

If you check the ActivityPub object, you actually do see the link:

I wonder why it isn’t shown.

some sport winning advice bullshit

I tapped on the link and joined the Telegram group. I am now winning indeed.

That rule 4 probably refers to the instance wide rule 4, which seems to be “No Ads / Spamming.”

For regular users.

Relevant issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6121

Should be kept in mind until v1.0.0

One thing you need to know is that communities of other Lemmy servers (instances) are not “visible” to your instance automatically (there is a Github issue in the Lemmy repo that attempts to solve this in the v1.1.0 release), so you, as a user, have to introduce it to your instance.

This is only required if the instance has never seen the community before.

You can read how you can accomplish this in the Lemmy docs or the Fedecan guide:

• Lemmy docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html
• Fedecan guide: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-open-in-my-instance

The Fedecan guide might also help you understand the Fediverse and how Lemmy works better. Check the whole guide: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/overview

The second thing you should know is that the whole thing about every instance being federated with every other instances is a big exxageration.

Many instances defederate with each other.

Defederation means your instance won’t “communicate” with the defederated instance. This means your interactions will not be visible to the other instance with one exception, and that is when you are posting to a remote community on a instance that is not defederated with your instance AND is not defederated with the instance that your instance defederated with.

Communities in Lemmy are built on ActivityPub Group actor types and the specification states that the instance of the group actor announces activities, not your instance: https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/1b12/

In this case, that basically means the instance of the community acts like a middle man that delivers messages.

In this case, the defederated instance will be able to interact with your posts in that community while your instance never will know about it.

No Fediverse platform I know of uses algorithms like the ones in today’s mainstream social media, so you’ll have to get used to seeing the same thing every hour or so. Try subscribing to even more communities, changing sorting algorithms or browsing the “All” feed.

I occassionally find and remove communities through the “All” feed or random “recommend me communities” posts in communities such as:

• !asklemmy@lemmy.world
• !ask@piefed.social
• !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Try creating a post in one of them.

If you want to help build a new community, try finding new ones. Creators of new comms usually post them in comms such as:

• !newcommunities@lemmy.world
• !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

I do wish that there was a “Random + New/Scaled/Hot” sort.

Block the user and then export your settings in Lemmy settings. When you import these settings, you will have the blocks from your previous account.

edit: didn’t read the whole text, Lemmy itself does not provide a way to block users with a specific username. Summit android app does have a filter for usernames though.

Run a small periodic program in the background that will search for users with that name pattern using the Lemmy Search API and block them.

What’s your lemmy config?

Is that the whole log? Have you enabled the trace level?

Yep. They did go away. I just uploaded them back again. Mine is a single user instance and I don’t upload much, so it wasn’t a big problem.

I hope the Lemmy devs implement this in v1.0.0 because this is pretty annoying.
