A post from 2 months ago which explained the context: https://lemmy.world/post/20694710
I just had a look, nothing has changed, the website is still using Lemmy’s content to pretend to be active
ActivityPub I would say, they show up on https://lemmy.world/instances for instance
api.clubsall.com
clubsall-api.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
clubsall-api.appcafe.workers.dev
clubsall-api3.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
clubsall-api2.appcafe.workers.dev
clubsall-api2.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
clubsall-api4.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
So im a bit confused, if they are federated whats the issue? Is it just a one way street or something?
It’s a one way federation: they only fetch Lemmy’s comment, but don’t allow other instances to get their content.
There are more details in the post linked in the OP
this isn’t entirely true, they do have some comments on lemmy as well, here are some examples:
- https://programming.dev/u/vinaya@api.clubsall.com
- https://programming.dev/u/chester22@api.clubsall.com
- https://programming.dev/u/impresario@api.clubsall.com
- https://programming.dev/u/luckymann@api.clubsall.com
- https://sh.itjust.works/u/BlazeFromLemmy@api.clubsall.com
it seems to be primarily about their communities not federating though i guess?
and either nobody from there posted a post to a lemmy community yet or maybe it doesn’t federate posts currently?
