I can see that sh.itjust.works has a conservative community like lemm.ee and lemmy.world does; but I’m not able to access it from lemmy.ml via federation. Does this mean that Lemmy now capable of federating at a community level?

    that was my first guess too, but unlike piracy; i can see comments that people post into that community, but i can’t see any posts or the community itself.

    also: it doesn’t make much sense for lemmy.ml to block one conservative community, but not the others.

      If you can’t see the community itself, then how are you seeing comments?

      When you view people’s profiles?

          Wow. I never even noticed that option before. That’s actually pretty cool.

          But kind of sounds like a bug in that case, because if the admins wanted to remove the community then it shouldn’t be possible to view comments from there either.

            careful; the comments feed makes it addicting. lol

              I feel like it’s so confusing if you just see the comments without the posts. But also the comments are the best part of Lemmy so it kinda makes sense.

              I’m already addicted to Lemmy so that’s not an issue

                acknowledging that you have a problem is the first step. lol

                it shouldn’t be confusing in your case since this conservative community is on your primary instance; so when you see a wtf comment, you’ll be able to get the context easily. someone like me, on the other hand, has to put in effort by searching through the instance itself to understand it.

                  I just try to avoid it entirely. Every post gets heavily downvoted anyway because conservatives are totally outnumbered on Lemmy. So it’s mostly people mocking them.

                    i marvel at their users because so many from those instances with conservative sub communities try to persuade the leftists to adopt a “broader political perspective” at the same time the lemmings from their own instances clearly don’t agree, based on how they treat these communities within their own respective folds.
