How long does it take for the fediverse to "forget" an instance?
I made the choice of hosting some Fediverse software on a domain name I own, however that piece of software (Akkoma, upgraded from Pleroma) has since become unacceptably unstable, and I’d like to switch to something else. I read that if I’m already federating with other servers, I shouldn’t switch software on the same...
Autonomous identity for the pluriverse based on OAuth/OIDC (socialhub.activitypub.rocks)

Reddit Enhancement Suite for Lemmy
I always used old.reddit.com with RES on my desktop. I’ve started using old.lemmy.world now, and I love the familiarity, but I realize how much I miss RES. I wish there was something for the old.lemmy.world that offered the same enhancements.
Does lemmy allow to search for my past upvotes?
I’ve tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I’ve upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

I’m not looking for revenue or massive followers, this would just be...
