Is it possible for a user to query the state of a given lemmy server’s federation state?
According to the lemmy documentation the server can be configured with one of three different states of federation:
- Open
- Blocklist
- Allowlist
Unfortunately, I joined a lemmy instance that was set to “allowlist” and therefore I couldn’t interact with most of the lemmy fediverse :(
I’m wondering if it’s possible for non-users to query a server to see what federation state it’s set-to, so that users can be aware of how limited their content will be before they signup.
That’s an open issue on Github. The devs are currently in the middle of trying to optimize performance so the whole network doesn’t go down on the 12th. If you know any webdevs willing to have at it, great!
that’s my issue ;)
Yeah, I noticed afterwards xD
anyway, I’m posting here to figure out what data can be queried. Otherwise, it’s manual entry and that’s a maintenance nightmare.
