Quick lesson for those who aren’t familiar with it. Baraag.net is a loli friendly instance over at Mastodon. Mastodon is basically to Twitter what Lemmy is to Reddit, a federalized social platform. And since it’s federalized, Mastodon and Lemmy users and instances can interact with each other. Or at least they should be able to.

Usually, when you look up a Lemmy instance of Mastodon it looks like this:

Instead, when I try to look up anything hosted on burggit.moe it looks like this:

After messing around a with different accounts and instances I’ve noticed that the problem seems to only come up with Burggit. While Baraag has defederalized from a couple of instances, we aren’t on that list. Nor did we defederalize them, as they are even listed under Linked Instances:

I’ve also tied to look up my own Lemmy accounts through Mastodon and it doesn’t find me:

All in all there seems to be some connection issues and if anyone knows anything about it please share!

Completely unrelated Edit: It feels a lot easier to make posts that contain images on Lemmy, compared to Reddit

    You also can’t reach Baraag via Misskey, but you can reach Misskey via Baraag. I think Baraag is just weird.

      It’s nothing to do with baraag, the problem is that they’re blocked by misskey.io. Been that way for a couple years now.

      The reason why misskey.io appears reachable by baraag is because server-level misskey blocks doesn’t prevent public posts on misskey.io from reaching baraag’s database. Your interactions from baraag that target misskey.io accounts don’t get reflected in misskey.io’s database.

        I wonder why pawoo and misskey block baraag. I didn’t suspect it was that because sometimes, baraag accounts appear to partially load, but i guess that’s just remnants of stuff in the db from before the block.

            misskey is complaining that baraag users don’t mark NSFW and don’t put content warnings, as @[email protected] (site owner) recently revealed. some users think it’s fair, others are balking at misskey becoming twitter 2.0 and dictating other instances how to behave, fearing they’d next force japanese censorship standards onto baraag.

              Ha, I was going to come here and link that. Personally I don’t really mind Misskey’s sensitivity standard being somewhat stringent. At least they’re relatively liberal about what content is allowed overall.
