I love how Fedia.io loves to turn Fedi posts into Lemmy discussions based on hashtags, but doesn't event let you browse the site without logging in.🙄 (mementomori.social)

The true FOSS version of Reddit is taking form.

All other Lemmy/Mbin instances, where's your login gate?!? Come on now, keep up!🤦‍♂️

This is unique to fedia.io. Kbin.earth, another Mbin instance, doesn't have such gate: https://kbin.earth/m/fedia@fedia.io

Here's the logic behind blocking anonymous access: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/44638236

@Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com well it definitely should stop using everyone's Mastodon posts as topics if I can't even go there to see if my replies are propagating correctly.🤦‍♂️

@BeAware@mementomori.social fedia.io was being swamped with crawlers from thousands of IPs causing the site to grind to a halt and periodically crash. I had to limit access to only logged in users while I try to sort out a better way to manage all those crawlers.

@BeAware@mementomori.social Is Fedia another alternative to Lemmy? Or is it a Lemmy instance? I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

@toothpaste_sandwich@mastodon.nl It's either Lemmy instance or a Mbin instance. They're similar softwares that serve the same purpose but with different features. Mbin is a fork of the defunct Kbin.

I don't know which it is, but it's one of those, not its own thing.
