Hope you'll like it there, it's quite chill
I made a post from StarTrek.website to tenforward on lemmy.world and couldn’t see the comments (or votes) that people made to it for at least 2-3 days.
May I ask you why you keep bringing that issue, when it has been solved in the meantime, and is a specific Piefed issue? Lemmy users on any of the top 20 instances are not experiencing federation issues, with the sole exception of programming.dev
nearly every instance other than Lemmy.world is having federation issues with lemmy.world right now.
What do you mean? Having a quick test right now

It does not seem like "nearly every instance is having federating issues with LW right now".
that defederates from at the very least Hexbear.
It's always the same issues, there is no generalist instance that fits the bill:
- https://lemmy.ca/instances is Canadian-focused, so non-Canadians aren't probably going to use it because they would think they "don't belong"
- https://feddit.org/instances block HB and LG, but is German-focused
- https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/instances, but is queer-focused
You might have higher chances of convincing lemm.ee, lemmy.zip, lemmy.dbzer0.com, discuss.tchcs.de to defederate hexbear, than getting a small instance that does popular enough to enter the top 20
Or you can convince lemmy.cafe to get another admin, and get a bit more "professional" (a la lemmy.zip)
(e.g. zero new posts from all the super cool Star Trek memes made in the last 3 days from https://piefed.social/c/tenforward@lemmy.world are showing up here - tho tbf this is far from the only instance that is struggling to catch up to updates with Lemmy.World)
For people reading this, that got fixed in the meantime
caveat: it seems run by only a single administrator, so is therefore far less stable than e.g. lemm.ee, and could disappear at any time
You pointed out the biggest issue with that instance.
If you have a better alternative (so blocking hexbear and lemmygrad, with a large userbase and managed by a group of admins), feel free to suggest it.
Also, do not underestimate the importance some users give to low defederation.
Lemm.ee is still the second largest instance for a reason.
Happy to see that you like Piefed!
You should probably bring us it to achieve
I do

The tricky aspect with lemmy.ml is that they host the most active open source communities. So recommending everyone to block them would probably make Lemmy as a whole appear hostile, as you need to choose between accessing open source communities and blocking a hostile instance.
To be fair, at this point in time, you might probably want to create a dedicated community to discuss this issue with the rest of the people (maybe !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works) and agree on a potential action plan.
I feel like we've had this conversation two or three times in the last few weeks, it's not really solving the core issue.
