based on the list of instances made by @sunaurus@lemm.ee here - Thank you again for that work, it’s highly appreciated.
This is a preventive measure against massive amounts of accounts being created for botting purposes. Most instances banned appear to be 1 user instances so we don’t think this will have a great effect on anyone’s usage of Beehaw. If you are an admin of one of those instances, feel free to contact us at support@beehaw.org
I have an account with Rammy that I had created specifically because I wanted to be able to interact with both Beehaw and Lemmy.World. It is so hard to find an instance that lets me interact with both, because Beehaw keeps defederating things. Does anyone have any advice on an instance I can join which federates with both Beehaw and Lemmy.world, and isn’t going to get on Beehaw’s defederating list in a week?
Rammy.site has 1.53K users even though it has 34 posts. It is currently being botted. Sorry.
I guess I’m just frustrated because people have constantly told me to join a small instance and not overload the big ones. But then when you join a small instance, it gets botted exactly because it’s small and the admins don’t have the resources. So now I am back to square one! I don’t have loyalty to any particular instance, I just want to see everything from everybody, and it feels like it shouldn’t be this difficult. Sorry for venting.
In this case the best idea is probably to make an account on beehaw and a separate account on other servers, and just keep the two separate. Beehaw by policy doesn’t plan on federating with all servers at all times, particularly very large ones, so you may have to shift to thinking of it as another site you’re on that happens to interface with your other Lemmy instances, vs. part of your main Lemmy experience. It’s explicitly trying to be separate, so seeing everything at once is inherently difficult.
I’ve done this as well, and am enjoying separating these parts of my experience and breaking away from the idea of seeing everything at all at once. It gives some intentionality to my internet experience that I felt I was lacking on Reddit and Twitter.
That’s good advice, thank you! That’s what I guess I’ll do for now until the kinks get worked out of the Fediverse.
Beehaw’s intention and policy is why I like beehaw. Its mission is to be a community with high rates of constructive contribution, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for - not merely a high-traffic relay station.
I do have an account on another instance with looser federations for tracking migrated or niche communities, but it is beehaw that I load when I want to read what people have to say.
That’s what I’ve come to the conclusion of. I assume I’ll have an account here on beehaw, and another on Lemmy.world, at the very least that stay active.
Have you tried kbin?
probably the main lemmy.ml would be safe. I feel you though, I had the same problem when I lost access to communities on lemmy.world too
Here you have a list of Lemmy instances, check the defederation list of both Beehaw and Lemmy World to see which is better from you.
Have you thought on joining a Kbin server instead? They’re all open to new registrations and you can see and interact with Beehaw and Lemmy World content from there as none of them are defederated.
Also, your admin might be able to reach out to beehaw.org if they are not hosting spam.
I’d suggest making several accounts. The beehaw communities are large enough that I don’t need to leave beehaw to still see a lot of interesting things, and I have another lemmy account on a different instance for seeing most everything else.
It really doesn’t cost anything to have multiple Lemmy accounts, any more than it does to manage multiple email addresses. To a degree, it’s even helpful for diversifying the content you see even further - beehaw is curated for quality and contribution; most instances are not.
My beehaw account is where I have my most interesting discussions. My ‘out in the wilds’ account will mostly be for browsing the wealth of content that is not curated, for better or for worse.
Kbin?
iusearchlinux.fyi seems to be a good idea! Also the name is great. :D
I signed up with SDF Chatter, which was recommended by Awesome Lemmy Instances, which in turn was recommended by Join Lemmy. No complaints so far.
I’m not sure sopuli.xyz accepts new applications at the moment, but I can see and interact with most instances when logged in there, including beehaw and Lemmy.world. No affiliation, so do your own research first. They have a similar application process as beehaw so it should be relatively safe from bots and defederation. No NSFW/extremist content I’ve seen at least. It is quite small, though.
