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.
thanks! Unfortunately that site is basically unuseable for me, but perhaps if we dig into their code, we’ll find how they figure out the federation state…
I believe I’ve read somewhere that @wintermute@feddit.de was intending to publish it.
The sourcecode is here afaict https://codeberg.org/wintermute/lemmymap
It says they use lemmy-stats-crawler, but I can’t get it to run on Debian 11. And I can’t open issues on that repo.
Make sure you use rustup to install cargo. The debian version is probably too old.
Thanks. See also https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-stats-crawler/issues/4
I would have to take a look, it’s probably outdated, there is also https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-stats-crawler
