E2EE messaging is being worked on. PoC available via Emissary (@benpate@mastodon.social) Most other software on AP supports reduced visibility messaging. Threadiverse, there's NodeBB

Sure. I have found that the default botPolicy works fine for blocking the AI bots, but blocks federation. At the reverse proxy level: if ($request_method = POST) { proxy_pass http://nodebb; } Because Anubis can't filter by HTTP method, unless I am mistaken. As for botPolicies.yaml # Allow /inbox - name: allow-ap-headers headers_regex: Accept: application/ld\+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" Accept: application/activity\+json action: ALLOW - name: allow-assets path_regex: /assets action: ALLOW The former allows those specific AP headers (it is naive, some AP impls. send slight variations of those two headers. The latter allows our uploads.

Drop the "Fediverse" verbiage, or even "federated". You may be speaking to potential instance admins but only those familiar with AP know what federation means. Otherwise it's a term with no meaning. Ironically, even "Lemmyverse" means more than "Fediverse", so "linked together through the Lemmyverse" actually works better.

When people are told about Lemmy and look for it in a search engine, join-lemmy.org is one of the first pages that comes up. Here they should be able to find out what Lemmy is, and be able to register an account to start posting. At the moment this still seems too complicated, so I'm looking for your suggestions to improve it: On the main page, is the text relevant and up to date or should anything be changed? How about the instance selection wizard (click "join a server" on the homepage), which lets you select topics and languages to select instances. Do the current options make sense? The instance list itself, is there any information missing, or potential design improvements? And the list of apps, what can be done here? For one thing the data is rarely updated, so we would appreciate pull requests. Any other suggestions you may have. Since yesterday I already made a couple of improvements: Use biased random for instance list, so large instances are always near the top Rename Join to Sign Up in instance list Fix icon overflows by using inline-flex (by @dessalines) Add button to visit random instance (not merged yet) Edit: Here is a draft for some changes to the frontpage: [image: image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fuser-attachments%2Fassets%2Fa6ce3ca1-7da1-4f67-aefb-8de4026ed250] https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/524
