Federation Test post from Lemmy.world (lemmy.world)

I discovered programming.dev after I registered at Lemmy.world, and wanted to see how well federation works.

I looked through your list of communities, I think [email protected] is the best place for this test post, but I apologize if there's a better place for this that I didn't see.

That being said, I might as well ask a question as part of this test-post / cross instance test discussion!

With different communities having different signup policies(ex: Beehaw.org vs Lemmy.world) and the threat of defederation existing... how does programming.dev plan to deal with problematic servers?

I'm a pessimist. I feel like inevitably, some kind of flamewar or drama will cause cross-board invasions between subreddits (and now, different [email protected] on Lemmy).

I don't think anyone knows the answer, but I guess I wanted to muse upon something to make this post more substantial than just a test post. Thanks for having me!

It was reported by several people and we discussed what to do about it in the discord. We plan on undoing the defederation when the instance gets more users, but it was overwhelming the community at the time.
