Manually maintaining is not realistic.
If your API is read-only and you're blocking bot traffic from querying it, you're doing it wrong. Please be nice to the bots. And also users that use VPNs, privacy plugins, etc. You'll false-positive block them, and that's not very nice.
Because I had a bug. Fixing now :)
Hmm, I see community_creation_admin_only is set to false on the API. I'll look into this, thanks for letting me know :)
Edit: should be fixed now. Please let me know if you find any other issues :)
Interesting. So I guess that functionality is disabled when the admin has a non-null list set for allowed
So if a user searches for a community on another instance, does that mean that the instance that they're following is automatically added to the linked list or no?
If so, does that happen when they subscribe or when they search?
Linked just means they actively federate
What does "actively federate" mean? What does it mean to be "inactively federating"?
What impact does it have on the user of these instances?

Regarding "federation state": You can have a blocklist, then Lemmy will federate with every instance except blocked ones. Or have an allowlist, then it will only federate with the allowed ones. If neither is set then it also federate with everything. Using allowlist and blocklist together doesnt make much sense, then it would only federate with allowed instances which are not in the blocklist.
...but this doesn't address what linked does

I don't know how BusKill could work without a physical cable.
But there are many similar projects that we list in our documentation that you may be interested in:
Hi Lemmy!
I make BusKill laptop kill cords that make your computer lock, shutdown, or self-destruct if the device is physically separated from you.
This protects your (encrypted) data from theft, which can be useful for digital nomads and cryptotraders working in cafes/coworking spaces. But our target audience is journalists, activists, and human rights workers in oppressive regimes.
Both the hardware and the software are open-source (CC-BY-SA, GPLv3). We manufacture the hardware with injection molding, but if you have a 3D-printer, then you can take a stab at our 3D-printable prototype.
...And apparently I'm doing (minor) contributions to lemmy these days too
The
NUfield is determined by checking theregistration_modefield in the API. If that's set toclosedthen I sayNo. Otherwise, I mark it asYes.So if it's
openorrequire_application, I list it asYes.Is there an issue with how I've set this up? If so, please name a specific instance and what it should say vs what the table says.
