Using a third-party app or mobile web browser?

Really? I could’ve swore I saw the likes of beehaw and other “safe” instances interact with the vanilla porn instances.

Indeed.

Done.

Sure thing. Gimme a sec.

Hopefully I fixed the logic once and for all. The second part, you’d have to take that up with Disa, he’s the one who wrote the UI portion, assuming he’s interested.

Dunno what happened but it works now. I probably mistakenly ran it on my laptop’s dev environment instead of the server.

Looking into it… I’m a bad coder lol.

I ended up adding some improvements to this current script. Dead/nonfunctional instances are excluded as well as instances with < 50 users. (Sorry single instance users who comment here, please don’t take this personally.)

To add, I improved upon it and have it automatically remove the nonworking sites from the list. Since there are a lot of dead/nonfunctional instances we’re still linked to.

Should be back up now.

It is mlmym, but it’s set to be plugged into our instance.

It’s not just you. I need to work on it again since I forgot to copy it over when we moved servers and lost all of my work for making the logic work since my /home partition got reformatted.

They likely selectively block communities from their instance.

I’m somewhat into fluffies. You’re welcome to create your own community regarding this. We don’t place any restrictions on what communities can be made or what rules they can have so long as the subject matter is legal.

Thank you for the kind words, we really appreciate that. I can assure you that there’s no danger to us as far as hosting goes. We pay for the server with Monero and use an off-shore hosting company that tells those slimy authoritarians to fuck off. We’re on good terms with the company owner and they even have an account here.

For federation, Reddthat might be blocking specific communities at an instance level. And federation between Mastodon/Pleroma -> Lemmy is still kinda iffy as far as being in a workable state. We’re already defederated by a lot of instances, but it seems to have minimal impact to our user participation here.

I’ll add that I’m willing to host it, but as long as the burden for maintaining it doesn’t fall on me. If a Lemmy update breaks it, I don’t want to have to be the one to debug it. I just want to defer to the maintainer and have them debug it on their end and release a fix for which I will pull. I’ve got enough on my plate as it is running this site.

I made an attempt with the LemmySauceNao bot but I just couldn’t get it to login to save my life. It’s written in C# so it probably doesn’t like Linux I’m guessing. It builds in dotnet core. It gives me a “Not Found” error when trying to access the /api/v3/login endpoint. On the Server’s end it treats it as if the user doesn’t exist in the logs so some text input is getting dropped somewhere.

I feel like if I got it working it’d be a pain to keep it working with newer Lemmy versions, so I dropped it. If someone else wants to maintain a solution, they’re welcome to it. But preferably it’d be something that doesn’t use crappy Microsoft shit.

Should be finished here. Please let me know if there are any issues. Our infra has really changed.
