This is not the case.

The Lemmy devs decided to make federation either whitelist oriented or blacklist oriented by an admin setting. Blacklist oriented means that your server will federate with all servers it hears of except ones the admins block, whitelist is the opposite, the admin has to federate on purpose.

Since Lemmy is developed by and widely used by whiny tittybaby communists who plug their ears any time someone says something they don't chant to themselves daily already, whitelist based federation is the most common way the other instances do it. As a result, most of the other servers know about this one.

So here's the thing with an "introduction" community... It isolates newcomers from the actual communities they want to engage in. You'll wind up with an entire community flooded with "hello!" posts, most of which will never post anywhere else again. The people youre trying to interact with won't notice.

If you want to engage with people online you have to just do it.

I feel like i am the one causing federation in c/[email protected]

I personally don't like federation for this sort of user experience. And especially I don't like the way Lemmy does it. It's a huge mess.

This server should leverage the coming push for an exodus from reddit to move the Monero community off that site. (monero.house)
 

I don't know if you'd have to offer mod positions to the existing r/monero moderators, build bots to feed data in so that there's more going on here, put this site in the sidebar there or what, but now's our chance to rid ourselves of dependence on that awful company.

Everyone's mobile apps for reddit are about to stop working. Lots of people are going to be looking for an excuse to ditch the site, and if their must participate communities are still there this will blow over and reddit will continue to dominate online communities and run roughshod over them. You don't need the big useless communities to move, you need the niche ones that you can't currently get anywhere else, such as this one, to move. If I could have the level of discussion relating to Monero here (or anywhere) that I have there I would never touch that site again. Monero is literally the only reason I visit that site. I'm sure it's the same for a lot of people, with regard to other communities.

Hopefully we can do github next.
