What is the current workflow of federating with other communities?
As many others here, I come from Reddit. I recently setup my own mastodon and matrix instances so the complexity required to federate with other instances on Lemmy surprised me. Am I missing something?
When federating with other communities I have to manually add them to an allowlist. Why is there no option to federate with all available communities by default? If I don’t like a particular community, I could block it.
Once you add things to the AllowList, only things in the AllowList federate. You probably want to use empty AllowList + populate BlockList as needed.
