maltfield,

Ideally I'd want something that I just feed a config file, a sqlite db file, tell it to "run", and then it spits-out the uptime for each site

Hmm, I see community_creation_admin_only is set to false on the API. I'll look into this, thanks for letting me know :)

Edit: should be fixed now. Please let me know if you find any other issues :)

maltfield,

Because I had a bug. Fixing now :)

maltfield,

Manually maintaining is not realistic.

If your API is read-only and you're blocking bot traffic from querying it, you're doing it wrong. Please be nice to the bots. And also users that use VPNs, privacy plugins, etc. You'll false-positive block them, and that's not very nice.

maltfield,

The NU field is determined by checking the registration_mode field in the API. If that's set to closed then I say No. Otherwise, I mark it as Yes.

So if it's open or require_application, I list it as Yes.

Is there an issue with how I've set this up? If so, please name a specific instance and what it should say vs what the table says.

I see TypeScript and get scared. Personally, I do think that the join-lemmy.org/instances page should link to:

  1. My table comparison https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
  2. The Lemmy Community Browser (to find communities across all instances) https://browse.feddit.de/
  3. The Lemmy Map https://lemmymap.feddit.de/
  4. The federation's lemmy page (with another table comparing instances) https://the-federation.info/platform/73

Can anyone with TypeScript experience make this PR for us? Here's the relevant file:

maltfield,

I just rebuilt it and fixed the NC field. Please let me know if you find any other issues

maltfield,

I'm literally just asking the instance's API how many users it has:

Check the users_active_month field. How your instance calculates that is a question for the lemmy devs ;D

maltfield,

thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to this ticket:

maltfield,

oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD

maltfield,

I think at the top, just above the "Recommended" add:

For a more detailed comparison of Lemmy instances, see:

<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances">Awesome-Lemmy-Instances on GitHub</a></li>
<li><a href="https://the-federation.info/platform/73">the-federation.info Lemmy Instances Page</a></li>
<li><a href="https://lemmymap.feddit.de/">Feddit's Lemmymap</a></li>
</ul>

After you create an account, you can find communites across all instances using <a href="https://browse.feddit.de/">Feddit's Lemmy Community Browser</a>

maltfield,

Not sure who the approved reviewers are

That's @nutomic

Shiit, it would be much easier for me to write it out to a CSV than to a damn markdown table. Thanks for the great suggestion :)

Edit: @QuestioningEspecialy the table is now available as a spreadsheet

maltfield,

You mean like https://mastodon.world and https://lemmy.world? Do you have other examples?

maltfield,

It's documented here:

By default users on an instance will be able to talk with communities/users on all other instances. This only changes if the instance admin puts hosts in the allowed list or disables federation.

If you add instances to the blocked list then users will be able to talk with all other instances, except those on the blocked list

maltfield,

I think the description would be too long and clutter the table. I'd be down for descriptions on-hover, but I'd have to switch platforms (from GitHub markdown) for that afaik.

You can also get the country from this list. I don't know how they do it (maybe IP lookup)

maltfield,

how do you do that? Is there a guide anywhere for how to setup mastodon seeing lemmy or lemmy seeing mastodon?

maltfield,

I don't know why nobody mentions RedReader. It's so much better than Infinity or all those closed-source pieces of shit that I wouldn't touch with a 10m stick.

maltfield,

Linked just means they actively federate

What does "actively federate" mean? What does it mean to be "inactively federating"?

What impact does it have on the user of these instances?

maltfield, (edited )

So if a user searches for a community on another instance, does that mean that the instance that they're following is automatically added to the linked list or no?

If so, does that happen when they subscribe or when they search?

maltfield,

Interesting. So I guess that functionality is disabled when the admin has a non-null list set for allowed
