I had to add the IP to my hosts file. Google DNS can’t resolve the IP for lemmy.fhmy.ml, even now.

Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8

*** dns.google can’t find lemmy.fmhy.ml.: Non-existent domain

other DNS servers can

lemmy.fmhy.ml. Server: dns9.quad9.net Address: 9.9.9.9

Non-authoritative answer: Name: lemmy.fmhy.ml Addresses: 104.21.81.71 172.67.140.145

This is why I was suggesting you would have conditions to apply these bans, for example that other admins you trust are applying them

I think that should happen too

I think that’s a simplistic view. We’ve seen people defederating or asking for defederation for the existence of a single community. Just because instance admins have different ideas of what’s tolerable doesn’t mean the rest of the communities at large can’t collaborate.

The point where admins would have settings to accept/review ban lists was to reduce the risk of abuse

Can you choose which ones to apply and which ones not to?

lol I wouldn’t be surprised if it did and I didn’t know about it

It does surprise me because from what I’ve been reading the mod tools and ban capabilities were… limited

Yes, but I believe there are plans to add a feature to Lemmy that allows ‘backing up’ an account among instances

tis’ done

Thank you guys. Happier every day to having chosen this instance

The continuous refresh makes the site mostly unusable for me in browser. I’d prefer updating to fix one of the biggest bugs the site has

Thanks for this. It’s recomforting and makes me thing I chose the right instance to sign up

Nice, thanks.

I can send you mine as a template

I wouldn’t call it worse. From what I learned, their goals of being a super-curated-exclusive community don’t agree with mine, so I’m happy I signed up for a more open instance

Thanks for this. It’s a bit too complicated, hopefully at some point the info will be just available
