So, the instance I joined Lemmy on last week largely to participate here defederated from lemmy.world an hour ago. It's early post-Reddit days, which is the only reason I'm posting a general tech tip in /r/!austin, but it's a previously impossible inconvenience that isn't theoretical. Choose wisely or start your collection of...
One read on this may be that lemmy.world may not be the best instance upon which to host !austin (i.e. if, for whatever reason, they're not able to maintain federation with other instances).
Another thought is if you really want control over your "home" instance's federation you could host your own instance and call all the shots. I've been considering doing this but mostly out of curiosity. Admittedly you would probably want to be fairly technical for this to be a viable solution.
All of that said, I'd be curious to know the specific reasoning given by your last instance on why they decided to defederate. I don't want to sound accusatory or jump to conclusions but this kind of post strikes me as... FUD.
Yeah, I imagine that's the equilibrium that the Lemmy Fediverse kind of lands on. At least for subs with more technical mods. I do wonder if this is sufficiently complex that Lemmy, and the Fediverse, in general, stays fairly niche as most users won't consider that super amazing user experience. But, to me, that's kind of the interesting and fun part -- what happens next in the Fediverse experiment.
Wes Anderson has a new movie coming out soon. It looks pretty good (unless you don't like Wes Anderson movies). https://lemmy.sdf.org/pictrs/image/64966092-a509-441a-8c59-4c3c7be609f0.png
Wanted to get back into the DOS era of software and games (it’s what I grew up on.) I would have preferred something older, but I ended up with a Slot 1 Pentium III/500. Fortunately it has an ISA slot so all the truly DOS friendly sound cards....
I grew up in an Apple household. This was way before it was cool. We had an LCIII (one of the 'pizza' box 68k Macs). I could only dream of having a 486 or Pentium machine like some of my friends had.
That said there were a couple old 68k Mac games I remember enjoying. Movod II comes to mind... I also remember some of my first experiences on the internet on those 68k Macs. Connecting to AOL with a USRobotics 28.8kbps modem... takes me back.

Defederation is a thing ... anyone for whom this community is a main draw and not yet committed to a Lemmy instance would do well to pitch their tent on lemmy.world

The intro to one of the greatest kids shows of the 90s. It's the song "Hey Sandy" by the band Polaris.
