At the bottom of the page on every Lemmy instance there’s a link that will show you the instances it’s federated and de-federated from. Look for the link labeled ‘Instances’ from a web browser. Here’s the link for lemmy.world that your account is on-
That’s the kind of content instance admins are and need to be concerned with on the topic of defederating instances. However most of the time it’s over whether some user in a shitposting thread was unfairly moderated.
Ty. That stuff should be available in mobile clients too. It could definitely be better visually represented and contain a reason and a defederated since date or more.
Also an explanation that addresses my other example about downvote brigading a tertiary instance.
Lemmy is still finding its feet and I think things like this will improve as it continues to grow and mature.
While Lemmy has been around since before the reddit drama, many of the large surges in users have been reddit refugees. As a result a lot of the apps we have are ports of reddit apps that the devs slapped together in a hurry to let users pivot to Lemmy. As time passes we’re seeing a number of new apps pop up with Lemmy specific features, and some of the older apps are still/finally being updated to be more feature rich.
The software Lemmy runs is also changing fairly rapidly so there’s some feature disparity between the webui and the various apps. Part of the normal growth process for a younger social media imo, but frustrating at times.

WTF is wrong with people?
