You’ve probably noticed the increase in posts of upwards of 50 comments in the last few days. All the trolls are out on watch.

Those posts are on lemmy.ml. Our website is lemmygrad.ml. They are two different instances of Lemmy, the software that powers this site. The reason you can see the posts on lemmy.ml is because of something called federation which basically allows two instances of Lemmy to talk to each other. We cannot moderate content on lemmy.ml.
I like the federation and hope that lemmygrad.ml isn’t too trigger-happy with de-federating from instances. You only see lemmygrad.ml by default anyway (at least on the web browser and PWA), and have to change to the “all” view to see the federated content.
Agreed. It’s good to see people from other instances posting here to learn about communism
I saw a communist on Reddit ask “why the fuck are we still on Reddit if they’re this hostile to us?!” The reply was that we need to make our ideology and resources known to noncommunists. If we retreat into echo chambers at the first sign of push back, we’ll never amass sufficient support for a revolution.
Oh god I hope they don’t defederate bcs I’m on Lemmy by error lmao
o7 to the brave comrades who infiltrated lemmy.ml
KGB Marshal Frippa sounds nice
You’re always welcome to open an account with lemmygrad as well
Pretty sure you can. Moderators and admins can remove posts from any federated instance from appearing on your instance, ban remote users from your instance, block remote communities, etc. There’s no difference in how it’s done between on instance and off instance material, you press the same buttons to moderate, only difference is that you don’t remove the original content, but you prevent it from being displayed on your instance.
