Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new [email protected] taking over [email protected]
[email protected] for additional context on those recent events if you are interested
Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417
Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I’m trying to keep [email protected] active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities
there’s a website out there showing exactly this,but for the life of me I can’t rememeber the URL >_<
There used to be this, but most of the instances give errors nowadays:
https://defed.xyz/check?name=Lemmy.ml&software=lemmy
This one seems to work: https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=Lemmy.ml
Oh yeah that’s the one
At least the latter one is just showing which instances the named instance has defederated from, not which instances have defederated from the named instance.
That’s easy to get by checking /instances on a given instance already.
The problem is that you’d need some kind of spider that crawls all of the instances to get the reverse of that.
The former one does seem to show it.
You are correct, I don’t why they called it reverse, it’s confusing
Here’s the search I wanted: https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=Lemmy.ml
Ah, thanks, yeah.
Neither of those mention that lemmy.cafe has defederated from lemmy.ml. Hence I tend to agree that they are not reliable, at least in the sense of being comprehensive. Perhaps at one point in the past they were.
