Do you know any Lemmy instances not federated with other ones, living by themselves? Do you know any interesting or creative use case for a not federated instance?

I thought that was mastadon, not lemmy.

Aren’t they basically different interfaces for the same thing?

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

No, they can sort of interact with each other, but the data structure and the functions of the sites are different. Mastodon is Microblogging like Twitter, and Lemmy is a Link-aggregator/Forum type platform.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No. Mastadon is a microblog/twitter platform. While lemmy is a link aggregator/reddit.

What is patriots.win running?

No clue, i had to tap out while looking at it. That was a hot mess, and i feel dumber for having read anything there.

I'm not sure I get it either. Is it just a url to a specific Scored community or somehow its own instance?

It doesn't mention activity pub or federation. I think it's just another reddit clone. SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world (does that ping work?)

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It appeared to be a Reddit type site, but without communities. Just all of the drivel in one feed with only upvotes.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

If you navigate to scored.co directly they do appear to have communities.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

doesn't look like either mastodon or lemmy, although its structure is similar to lemmy; from the sidebar it appears they are running something called "scored" which I don't know anything about

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they are different server platforms using the same protocol for different purposes. mastodon == federating twitter, ie 'old man shouts into the cloud'. lemmy == federating reddit, ie threaded discussions.

there are so many perfectly good non-federating server products as to make this question moot. lemmy is the wrong platform for a stand-alone environment.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What if you’re using it as a honeypot and federating a copy of the data?

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

are there jerks in the fediverse? yep. many bad actors.

many server ops will defed known nonreciprocal servers. 'scrapers'

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Well now hang on. Not all jerks on the fediverse are bad actors. I'm a jerk, but I'm a GREAT actor!
