In the interests of transparency around how this instance is intended to be run, and so that prospective users can make an informed decision before joining, this post will serve as a living document briefly outlining policies and information about Leminal Space.

Geographic location

The server resides in a data centre on the US east coast. This was chosen because it is intended for this instance be a general, international one, and the fact that most countries have a relatively fast and fat pipe connecting them to the US made this a practical choice. That said, cached content will be served to you via the nearest global Cloudflare server.

Defederation policy

We will actively and pre-emptively defederate from predominantly fascist, far-right and alt-right (or troll) instances.

To reduce the likelihood of legal issues, we do not federate with porn/NFSW instances and suggest you use an alt-account if you wish to interact with those.

We do not and will not federate with Threads or any other Meta entity.

Either leave a comment below or post a thread to /c/leminalspacemeta if there is an instance you believe should be considered for defederation in line with the above policy.

We will remain federated with all leftist instances (yes, even the sh*tposting ones).

Word filter policy

We do not implement any word filters.

    Policies on point for me, thanks. Any idea why eslemmy.es (general spanish instance) is not loading content from here? Feeds appear empty for me

      Try it now. I have tweaked a backend setting and they are loading for me.

      Make sure you have Spanish selected as one of the languages in your settings (hold ctrl to select multiple) or all posts in that language will be hidden.

        It was the language selection setting, I didn’t knew that even existed. Thanks pal, I can read everything now. I’m still learning some fediverse quirks, but loving the fresh air as a reddit refugee. I’m almost glad it went south
