That’s what I’ve blocked yeah. Though you can’t really have any confirmation (the “software” and “version” fields will remain blank) because they haven’t even enabled federation yet.

I know this is three weeks old but if you still haven’t found a solution this will work.

Ansible guide. I didn’t follow this one myself but the guy who set up my instance said it was pretty easy

…or join a smaller instance.

Same, since I updated my instance to 0.18 Jerboa doesn’t work and instantly crashes.

Upvoting this post from Connect for Lemmy. Actually I think I still prefer Jerboa. Unfortunately it has stopped working since I updated my instance to 0.18 so this will have to do for now.

Oh I wasn’t aware of this. Very tempting. Now I lowkey wish they miss the deadline on one of the six accounts I requested the data for, so I can do some European style trolling.

Agreed. Sh.itjust.works has plenty of interesting communities, pressing the big red button for just one name seems a bit overkill.

Couldn’t the protocol be updated to be more compliant with the right to be forgotten? Something like, when a user deletes a comment it gets deleted from the DB of every federated instance. Sure enough, admins might have made backups and that would theoretically go against the GDPR but still… you can only apply these laws to a certain extent. It’s the same as you posting a picture on Facebook, me downloading it and you deleting it afterwards. Even if you were to make a GDPR request to Meta you still couldn’t get the picture on my PC. But that’s not Meta’s fault, they can’t do much about that.

If I understand correctly the way the protocol works, when you federate to a community you are instructing your instance’s server (in this case sh.itjust.works) to start copying every post and comment that is posted on the target community. This would in turn mean that, if you federate with an NSFW community, the sh.itjust.works admin would start copying NSFW posts to his server, with all the legal repercussions of this.

Of course, if this was actually a problem for the admins they’d have turned off federation / put federation on allow list / would have defederated from a bunch of NSFW instances. Considering none of these are the case, I’d say you can chill and just subscribe to whatever community interests you.
