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
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.
Ah that explains such a lot!
Several times now I’ve been puzzled by Lemmings talking about their downvotes when I can’t see any.
Right? Same. “All these downvotes” and I’m like fam, what are you on about? I see nothing
I tried to speculate on an answer, but after several tries I’m not sure now either. Federation is a lot more complex a situation than just a simple ban (perhaps). It doesn’t seem an absolute like if you blocked a single user, since communities can be separately blocked and that wouldn’t affect an instance user from interaction with a kbin post or user elsewhere.
