@Wander@yiffit.net

30-something grey wolf therian and furry. Admin of yiffit.net lemmy instance and packmates.org mastodon instance.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Aside from blocking instances, what other controls do admins have to keep unwanted content off their instances?

I've fired up my own Lemmy instance, but am keeping it closed right now. It's mainly so I don't contribute to the user load on the more popular instances, but I may open it up to a circle of friends and family at some point in the future....

You can also remove specific remote communities, which bans them from your site instead of the entire remote instance. Make sure to use remove, not purge.

The community will not appear in the list nor be searchable.

Purge deletes everything, including the fact that you've deleted them and they become searchable again. It's like a complete reset. Even the act of removing them is reset

You can purge, and then bring it up again and then remove if you want to delete any cached media or posts.

Yes. That said, media uploaded by remote users is actually stored on the remote instance, not yours.

I just checked and even thumbnails are remote.

I'd be more inclined to reach out to Louis Rossmann, especially since he's said he won't post on reddit anymore. Maybe we can even find a home on lemmy for his right to repair campaign.
