Hi guys,

This seems like an interesting project, and unlike notabug.io it doesn’t seem abandoned, so that’s great.

Now I have a few questions:

  1. How can I subscribe to other “fediverses”?
  2. Where can I find a list of other fediverses?
  3. Should I even be using dev.lemmy.ml as main entry point, or is that at risk of enforcing arbitrary blacklists/whitelists that I cannot control? Is there a more generic Lemmy website/app that allows me to add any fediverse without restrictions?
  4. Where is the user data stored? Does every server save its own users? in that case how can I make sure that nobody steals my name? and if that’s not the case, then how can you prevent e.g. getting banned / shadow banned, if the user data is centralized?

    It works exactly like Mastodon, with the difference that Mastodon federates with all instances by default, while lemmy.ml will only federate with a few instances at first. But admins of other instances can decide to federate with everyone (I wouldnt recommend it because the mod tools are still lacking).
