FediLore + Fedidrama
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

It would be interesting to see how a larger instance functions without up or down votes. Similar to a traditional forum.
Hexbear has been doing pretty well for itself.
No idea too shitty for Hexbear
Is that even possible? Like, I would still be able to down vote from a different instance?
You can. Your downvote are not federated though. That means your instance knows about them, but can't send it to lemmynsfw.com since it doesn't want to know. Consequently no other instance will know about your downvote since they ask lemmynsfw.com for who voted and who didn't and not your instance.
You will be able to downvote, but if the community in question is hosted on an instance that has disabled downvotes, your downvote won't federate to anyone else. The only people who see it will be people on the same instance as you.
For users of an instance that has disabled downvotes, their timelines silently drop all downvotes, so those users see the fediverse without the impact of any downvotes, irrelevant of where they came from or what other people see.
Glad to see they did this. It seemed like downvotes were driving away some users.
