This community is for discussions specific to the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, but it seems like we get lots of comments from other instances who have no real stake in the matter. I imagine the vast majority are well-meaning people who just don’t really understand federation well yet and don’t understand they’re commenting on a totally different instance’s internal matter.

I wonder if it would be possible to make this community read-only for non-Blahaj Zone accounts? And if it’s possible, does anyone else (on this instance 😉) think it’s a good idea?

    While I think this is a good point, it feels like most of them usually don’t even know where they are. Look at the recent discussion on Threads for example. It’s mostly outsiders using the posts as a place for general discussion, and has totally drowned out any instance specific discussion.

    • Agreed. The problem has become significantly worse during the last 24 hours. I do still feel these are well-intentioned people who just lack awareness and understanding, but it’s becoming frustrating.

        I honestly think part of the problem is just how small text for the community name is in the post feed in lemmy.

        Also, for some folks who are new to the fediverse, the usage of “Meta” may not be totally obvious.
