We've seen a lot of spam come from lemmy.org and we have therefore defederated from their instance. For the moment they have open registrations which only require filling out a simple captcha to create an account which many people abuse.

The admin is active but rarely takes moderation actions, but I've sent a DM to them with our concerns. We'll see how permanent this is.

Please excuse my ignorance, I'm still barely clear on how everything works, but what instance is lemmy.org? Clicking that link seems to bring up a ton of different instances, so I'm not really understanding what the impact of this is.

If you go in your browser to lemmy.org and choose “local” you can see what you’re missing. It is not much. If you sort by new you will see why the admin made their decision.

Ohhhh, thank you! I don't think I go to any of those instances. I was just a bit curious.

Some users and communities are on lemmy.org and you won't see any new content or be able to talk to anyone from there until we refederate

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Any popular ones?

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 3 points 3 months ago

It means that you will not see content from lemmy.org from your account on lemmy.blahaj.zone. If you create an account on another instance that is still federated with lemmy.org, you'll see its content.

To spare folks a click...

As of this moment (Wed Apr 22 2026 17:41-ish UTC), the most recent 20 posts on lemmy.org are from the user @MyDick@lemmy.org, posting in a new community (lemmy.org/c/mydick). The community includes only these 20 new posts, all of which are all pornographic and feature fetishized feminine transgender bodies (of questionable authenticity).

Subjectivity notwithstanding, it's pretty tasteless content. That being said, the posts aren't all that different from other communities built around sharing dull pornography in the same light.

As a general rule, does blahaj.zone de-fed instances for hosting porn?

( For context, I'm asking to learn more about blahaj.zone's curation policies, not asking rhetorically to start an argument. :)

Those accounts also spammed our communities and other instances. if it was all contained in a nsfw community it wouldn't be an issue

[–] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

Roger that. Thank you!

[–] Forsho@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Can anyone explain what that even means to users?
