@maltfield So apparently I can interact with my Lemmy posts on my Mastodon account. Cool!
For anyone else trying to figure out how: I just took the URL of the Lemmy post (https://lemmy.ml/post/1168743) and pasted it into the Mastodon search field.
Users can create communities on Blahaj Lemmy. Most of our communities are created by users
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 :)
Same for lemmy.studio, I have community creation open for everyone. Not sure why it shows as false.
What's the API endpoint? I'll double toggle the option to see if it fixes it, maybe it is set to admin only even if the UI shows the opposite.
Because I had a bug. Fixing now :)
I wonder how the user account is calculated too. I think Dartboard Links (links.dartboard.social) has about 10 users now.
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
There is also a similar list on: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD
I've stumbled upon this site that seems to be similar?
Thanks for sharing! How did you find that one? Do you know who runs it? I really, really like that they have an uptime monitor.
How about a spreadsheet release (on GitHub) so we can easily filter things out? 👀
You're awesome man! This is direly needed. I'm just wondering how on earth to publicize this before the madness that hits on Monday.
Any chance you could find a place to fit this in the join lemmy site and do a pull request before then? I know it's a lot to ask, but it would be huge.
I see TypeScript and get scared. Personally, I do think that the join-lemmy.org/instances page should link to:
- My table comparison https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
- The Lemmy Community Browser (to find communities across all instances) https://browse.feddit.de/
- The Lemmy Map https://lemmymap.feddit.de/
- 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:
You thinking just a with the 4 links in it and a header of some sort? Mock or description or anything?
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>

Great work! Thanks for making this. ❤

I'm a little bit confused by the federation thing. How would I let my instance talk to any other instance except the ones I blacklist?
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
It would be nice for those elsewhere on the fediverse to know when an instance is aligned with or run by the same people as an existing mastodon or other kind of instance.
Pretty sure nothing conventional is exposed for that sort of information, but it could be useful in the future. Maybe a general description field that can contain that sort of information.
Great work! Can you include the instance description in this list also?
Also i would love to see country but that's doesn't seem to be included in the Lemmy app. I guess you could do a ip lookup on some service to see country if you really wanted to.
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)
