Hi all, I’m a Lemmy FOSS app contributor that’s made a couple of tools for people starting small instances including Lemmy Community Seeder (LCS) for building content on new server’s All Feeds and Lemmy Post Purger (LPP) for clearing old posts on smaller instances.

Today I’m releasing Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS). When launching a new Lemmy instance, administrators may not understand the necessity of defederation with problem instances. Using LDS, you can sync your instance’s “blocked instance” list with that of another server(s) whose admins you trust.

    This tool is kind of for those single user instances tho and while something like this could hurt Lemmy that’s only the case if it’s used wrong, I doubt big instances will start to share block lists because they have the resources to gather them manually!

      I will exagerate and ask you: are you discriminating between bigger and smaller instances? While smaller instances are definitely small, together they are big enough.

        Tf? I just say that it’s probably mostly single user and small instances that will want something like that because they don’t have the moderation caipabilities and might trust the admins of a big instance, not sure what your sentence is supposed to mean tho so could you explain?
