I guess I can understand their reasoning somewhat as the way Lemmy servers fetches data from the fediverse can become a liability, but I’m disappointed about the process and communication.
That said, I tried switching to some of the lesser restricted instances today, but I just don’t think I can be bothered to spend enough time blocking all the $hit there, so I’ll probably stay here still.
That looks nice, I’ll run it on a few accounts anyways, nice to have backups available without having to start from scratch.
However, Lemmy.World was already defederated from a few instances and from the looks of it I would have to do add a huge amount of new blocks to stay sane on a completely unfiltered instance.
Yeah I’ve only used it for backing up to alts. Maybe make another acct on an instance with a similar defed list? Or does your app support filtering instances outright?
It wasn’t initially announced. Later they made a statement via discord 🙄
It’s only piracy communities they banned though. Not entire instances.

There are tools such as LASIM for transferring your subscriptions and blocks to another account.
