I can't seem to interact with any communities from that instance, so I can't report anything to their admins.
If you can give me any more details, let me know. Looking at your instance, I only see two communities from
lemmy.today, and one looks like it was deleted, so should only be their announcements one. Is the one you're having trouble interacting with the potentially deleted one?Or do you mean users rather than communities? If you're trying to report threads or comments, are they potentially already removed from blahaj and then it won't let you interact with them?
To sum up some things about cross instance interaction as of this date:
I browsed the communities on their instance using mlmym so I could see the full list. Then I tried to access the
lemmytodaycommunity from my Mbin account, and I got a 404 error.So that's what I meant when I said I can't report things to the admins on
lemmy.today, since I can't post on their dedicated community.I've noticed recently that my instance can't fetch new communities anymore. For instance, I fetched all of the good LGBTQ+ accounts months ago without an account, and they all eventually federated across. But I can't fetch
asktransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zoneor any other communities that aren't already federated. I was thankfully able to fetchtrans@lemmy.blahaj.zonebefore this issue.On another note, if moderator actions don't federate across instances, does that mean when I see this:
the comment was deleted by a moderator on my Mbin instance, rather than a moderator on Blahaj? In that case, I would think my reports are working.
A 404 just means it hasn't been added to the instance yet, I just added it now by doing https://fedia.io/search?q=%21asktransgender%40lemmy.blahaj.zone (though it'll need a local subscriber to get updates)
On my list is to try to make it clearer on how to add remote magazines. In regards to whether that message means it was a local or remote delete for remote content... From my experience the only time I've seen deletes federate is when it's a remote instance A moderator acting on a remote instance A user post. Meaning if a remote Instance A moderator acts on a remote instance B user, it does not federate.
OsaErisXero mentioned the issue for fixing that in the thread, but for some reason my reply didn't federate, so that's why I'm posting from your local instance
You could try making an account there and DM the admin directly, I think they have open signups, part of the reason they're such a spam infested hellhole.
I don't like Lemmy, since it requires javascript, and I definitely don't want an account on a troll farm instance. I messaged my admin.
Fair enough, I wasn't really suggesting it as long term ownership, more throwaway that could be deleted afterwards but I guess it makes sense if you're not using javascript that that can't possibly work.
