good point

thanks for this post. right now is an interesting time, which i think could be regarded as the first great migration from reddit to lemmy and the wider fediverse.

when you’re on the lemm.ee instance, scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on the “instances” link. that page shows “linked” instances on the left column and “blocked” instances on the right column. “linked” are the instances we’re federated with(grows naturally), and “blocked” are the instances that sunaurus elected to defederate with. you can go to any instance and look at their lists too, even without an account, so they are very publicly visible.

is that what you’re looking for?

side-note: before today our blocked instances list was empty every time i checked, which i do fairly often.

yes! thanks so much.

i’m no coder but i wonder if this little guide would help you: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/theming.html

regarding libertarianism, you said,

The original usage of the word was in relation to early libertarian communism, e.g. direct transition to stateless, classless, moneyless society.

mambabasa said,

Classical or left-libertarianism is the same as anarchism. When the French government outlawed anarchism in the late 19th century, anarchists in France developed a new word to describe themselves and their political philosophy. They began to call themselves libertarians instead of anarchists.

these seem to be contrary claims. or are you both saying the same thing?

this seems like a strange place to post about that; too off-topic in my mind. but nevertheless i’m glad to have found said community and did subscribe. you could promote your new community in a place like this: newcommunities@lemmy.world
