I think Beehaw.org is. We’re 2/3 as well (now). .ml has some communities/users we’ve removed, but largely speaking .ml users have not caused any issues on our hosted communities, and we feel exposing them to our (generally awesome) communities is the net-positive here. Honestly .world’s (lack of) moderation is more actively an issue for our mods, but since they’re so big and we’re a niche instance we really can’t afford to de-federate from them.
Things may be uh- crispy for a few hours while we get re-Federated and all the other instances whallop us with traffic. It should pass within a day.
OP- you are not on StarTrek.website. You’re on feddit.de. When you scroll /c/Risa you are scrolling a “copy” on feddit.de.
I assure you we are fully functional.
EDIT: FWIW I checked /c/Risa on feddit.de and thumbnails loaded fine …maybe try clearing your browser cache?
You are correct that it is a requirement for all communities hosted on this instance to be actively moderated within instance principles.
Stories like this make me very happy to hear. When I heard the /r/StarTrek and Daystrom mods talking about joining Lemmy I’d thought bringing their reputation for positivity and tolerance to a Trek-themed instance could provide a familiar and comfortable jumping-off point for users unsure about the broader Fediverse.
