Sorry if this has already been asked, but is there a way to know if kbin is or is not federated with another instance? I know there is a way to block domains by typing in https://your kbin instance/d/domain you want to block and blocking them from there, but is there a way to see a list of instances defederated by default?
Thanks
I’ve seen this question a number of times since first joining, and never an answer. Also nothing that jumps out in the git pages mentioning it. Perhaps the idea is that because the user has more control in kbin than in Lemmy it’s more open to each user’s choices. Also, under the federation icon that can turn all federation on or off there’s the mysterious “Instances:” that never has anything. Perhaps that’s a placeholder for something.
Darn - I was afraid this might be the case.
I was also wondering what happens if someone from a defederated instance upvotes/downvotes you or your post. Is that even possible?
I am still figuring out this fediverse stuff lol
Kbin federates upvotes but does not federate downvotes. All downvotes are from people on the local instance only.
Lemmy federates both but downvotes only go to other Lemmy instances, not Kbin instances.
It’s all a bit crazy, yes.
