    I’m not talking about being racist though, I’m talking specifically about the loli question.
    And if you’d been around 8chan in the beginning or even fse a couple of years ago, it was very common for d&c shills to make these exact types of arguments.
    And that was not happening due to monetization.
    It is still a pretty common gayop on 4chan to try to consensus crack using anime.

    I don’t think that the rulecuck in the pic is a paid/cointelpro shill, but I’m pretty sure he does hate anime and anime communities and is consciously trying to subvert it.

    Through this great tool that lists fedi instances http://demo.fedilist.com/

    I don’t think you should be that concerned attracting people that are just now migrating from reddit.
    Anybody who still used reddit up until a week ago doesn’t care about free speech at all, if he isn’t actively against it that is.
    The free speech side of the fedi as a whole is much more fun than the censoring one.
    Overtime the ban happy side will fracture into multiple completely isolated instances just like the mastodon/pleroma side has.

    On the other hand there is a gigantic pool of people that have been leaving reddit for the past decade or so and either went to small forums, pleroma or imageboards. Reddit becoming a hyper censored corporate storefront was a gradual process.

    >fork of Lemmy software

    Any chance you can fix this? (Pete wrote this a couple of days ago)

    >1. I’m looking into lemmy interaction. I can follow lemmy users, see their public posts, but they don’t show up in my timeline. They only show up if I go to their profile. Why?

    Short version: it looks like Lemmy’s fucking up the follower address.

    The longer version: AP uses a series of URLs to say who a post is for, and those go into the “to” and “cc” fields. When you tag someone, their actor URL is in the “to” field. There are two special URLs that don’t refer to individual users: “public” and “follower”. The public URL is a constant, it’s https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public . If it’s in “to”, it’s public, and if it’s in “cc”, it’s unlisted, so you can see it in either case. The distinction between a public/unlisted post and a followers-only/DM post is that the public URL is omitted from those. The other special URL is the followers URL, which is user-specific. That URL is assigned by the server, and is supposed to be in your metadata. So if you do curl -H 'Accept: application/json' [https://freespeechextremist.com/users/laurel](https://freespeechextremist.com/users/laurel) | jq -r .followers, that’ll spit out https://freespeechextremist.com/users/laurel/followers. Your followers URL is included in all of your posts except DMs, so when you post, “https://freespeechextremist.com/users/laurel/followers” is in the “cc” field. Not only does Lemmy appear not to provide a followers URL, they also seem to do some wacky shit with the to/cc when delivering posts.

    So, pick a Lemmy user at random (I just did SELECT \* FROM "users" WHERE (split\_part("ap\_id", '/', 3) = 'lemmy.ml')) and look at the AP URL, it’s https://lemmy.ml/u/jokeyrhyme . Fetch the user and look for the followers address, curl -H 'Accept: application/json' [https://lemmy.ml/u/jokeyrhyme](https://lemmy.ml/u/jokeyrhyme) | jq .. So there’s no way to pick out the followers address. Then you look at a random post, curl -H 'Accept: application/json' https://lemmy.ml/post/438428 and (although it’s nice Lemmy pretty-prints the JSON) “cc” is empty and “to” just contains ["https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource","https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"], so

    Boards, however, *do* have followers URLs: curl -H 'Accept: application/json' [https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource](https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource) | jq -r .followers gives https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource/followers. But they fuck that up, too! You can see that the post from before lists https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource in the “to” field, not https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource/followers.

    This should be easy to fix, they just have to add a followers URL to users and stick that on their posts, and then add the advertised followers URL to boards’ posts. So instead of `“to”: ["https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource","https://www.w3.org
