Quick lesson for those who aren’t familiar with it. Baraag.net is a loli friendly instance over at Mastodon. Mastodon is basically to Twitter what Lemmy is to Reddit, a federalized social platform. And since it’s federalized, Mastodon and Lemmy users and instances can interact with each other. Or at least they should be able to.
Usually, when you look up a Lemmy instance of Mastodon it looks like this:
Instead, when I try to look up anything hosted on burggit.moe it looks like this:
After messing around a with different accounts and instances I’ve noticed that the problem seems to only come up with Burggit. While Baraag has defederalized from a couple of instances, we aren’t on that list. Nor did we defederalize them, as they are even listed under Linked Instances:
I’ve also tied to look up my own Lemmy accounts through Mastodon and it doesn’t find me:
All in all there seems to be some connection issues and if anyone knows anything about it please share!
Completely unrelated Edit: It feels a lot easier to make posts that contain images on Lemmy, compared to Reddit
pawoo doesn’t block baraag. I’m not sure why misskey.io does, I suspect it might have to do with how the admin interprets Japan censorship law as it pertains to online service providers, then again they also block a lot of other instances https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=misskey.io (scroll to the bottom)
misskey is complaining that baraag users don’t mark NSFW and don’t put content warnings, as @satori@baraag.net (site owner) recently revealed. some users think it’s fair, others are balking at misskey becoming twitter 2.0 and dictating other instances how to behave, fearing they’d next force japanese censorship standards onto baraag.
Ha, I was going to come here and link that. Personally I don’t really mind Misskey’s sensitivity standard being somewhat stringent. At least they’re relatively liberal about what content is allowed overall.
