Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Does this mean that I need to run my own Lemmy to federate from all the sources I'm interested in, if I want content from beehaw and lemmy.world and a.n.other.example.org if they are not federated together?
If I do create my own, do I have to persuade those servers to accept my federation?
So much I don't understand. Wait... I think I get it: if lemmy.ca federates with all these places, I see it all and can interact with it? Are the federated/defederated lists openly available somewhere?
Yes! If you look at the bottom of any instance, there's an "Instances" button that will show you which instances are allowed/blocked. You shouldn't need to create your own server if you can find an instance federated to all the ones you'd like. Defederation seems to be the exception to the rule, though beehaw.org has a larger blocked list than I've seen on other instances. In their defense, some of the sites they've blocked look pretty horrible...
As for making your own instance, I'm afraid I don't know what the process is to federate with other instances...
Any idea if kbin has something similar? There is a link to the Modlog, but I can't seem to find a link to an overview of the instances it federates with.
I tried digging around for you, but I didn't have too much luck. I see their moderation log, but the most promising thing I could find for an instance list is:
Statistics -> General -> Below the statistic listing the total number of posts, there's a triangle Fediverse symbol on the left side of the screen. Clicking on that drops down an empty menu titled "Instances". I suspect that that's where you'd find the list if it were there. Perhaps Kbin hasn't implemented it yet.
