We need more action about this licensing thing. It doesn’t make sense

FOSS doesn’t mean that you can’t be paid for it… Maybe you meant that copyright needs a lot of money and so does building a streaming service

Rip I wish I saw this earlier

Yes it should, I don’t know if there’s a faster way though, sorry

There already is a question similar to this. You can find lots of ideas there :)

I’m not sure if there’s a better way but:

1. go here: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
2. bottom page > open an instance you want to federate with
3. Choose a random community of that instance
4. Copy and paste the link of that community in your instance search bar and subscribe
5. Wait a few minutes and you should be federated with that instance

There is no problem if there are more communities with the same topic. The ones wich are better moderated and actively updated will eventually gain in popularity and stand out

I think you forgot to follow feddit.it

That’s exactly the point: if they become “bad”, we can always move to another one with the same name but on another instance

It’s a very good thing to avoid what happened on Reddit that a big istance is moderated by people that don’t think democratically and rule against other people’s will deleting posts and banning everyone they don’t like.

With federation, you can choose the instances and communities you like the most, the ones with better moderation and so the kindest one will probably prevail :)

Thanks for all of your work!
