According to https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Reached out through Lemmy and Mastodon. No reply from the admin. Last activity from the admin was 2 months ago. Instance is also running an older version of Lemmy.

I assume they are defederating as a precaution, but as the largest instance they have essentially cut us off from a lot of content.

@[email protected] are you still around and are you able to reply to them please?

So what is a good instance that is federated to lemmy.world and beehaw and other popular instances? Liked lemmy.one since it was connected to instances that were defederated from each other.

Lemdro.id remains federated with them. Otherwise, you can check an instance's federation/defederation list via instance.url/instances.

instance.url/instances

this doesn't exist; is there a typo somewhere?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure of the equivalent for kbin, that path only works on lemmy instances AFAIK

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The federated/defederated instance list isn't implemented in the production version of kbin iirc.

Replace instance.url with the Lemmy instance in question e.g., lemdro.id/instances)

I've been really happy with Sopuli, they have a narrow but essential blocked instances list and high uptime.

Hi, I've liked what I've seen of Sopuli. Does it also disable downvotes? That's one thing I really like for my own sanity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does not, sorry to disappoint. I think blahaj.zone has downvotes disabled but they also federate with some of the insufferable instances

It's ok, thanks for responding. I'll keep looking!

Seems like it's often quite flakey, for instance I can't access it at the moment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, true. they might be in the middle of updating the server of something. Usually it should be okay. That's my main instance by the way.

Anyway why do I suggest it? SDF has a long history of maintaining public access Unix usenet/bbs server, since the 80's. So they have a long track record of maintaining public server. For them to simply abandoning server hosted by them would be unheard of.

They also have diverge userbase, liberal and geeky. I simply can't imagine any lemmy instance will defederate from them. That will be brazen, simply say.
