I think it’s mostly come up as an issue because it’s meant that piefed.social doesn’t federate with lemy.lol (because it uses a Pepe image as its icon), but https://lemmy-federate.com/ uses lemy.lol for back-end operations, so people haven’t been able to add communities on piefed.social to it.
I feel as though Lemmy federate ought to be able to use multiple instances for its back-end operations. Relying on a single instance is somewhat at odds with the spirit of decentralization.
Piefed.social should decide if they want to add their instance to the Lemmy Federate. I’m not blocking anyone. In fact, there are already two Piefed instances registered to Lemmy Federate. But these instances are using generic ActivityPub client instead of specialized clients unlike Lemmy and Mbin instances.
I’m not against Piefed but I’m not gonna work for a Piefed specific code either for reasons you can imagine.
Well that’s news to me. But then again I hardly post memey things, let alone Pepe.

Who unironically think defeding because of an icon is a good idea? Clowns

@iso@lemy.lol Thoughts?
Actually, Lemmy Federate is not tied to lemy.lol since this update: https://lemy.lol/post/46419115

Thank you for sharing
I think I somewhat get it but tbh that flew past my head, sorry.
Well the owner of lemmy-federate isn’t going to add piefed onto lemmy-federate if piefed has defederated from their instance
Please see this because that’s not the case: https://lemy.lol/comment/20647547
I hope this has another reason besides giving in to clown decisions made about instance icons…
Of course not. I made this change to make the whole fediverse compatible with Lemmy Federate, not just Piefed.
