Hello RoundSparrow, and again thank you for your help when I was in trouble setting up my little instance!
It runs well now :-)
Just as a backdrop I’m curious about how Lemmy works (I’m building a sharing protocol & implementation, decentralised, takedown safe, rugged, … It feels like how Lemmy is built on top of its protocol) and I love Lemmy and how it “federates” 💗 so I want to know more about it all.
When you say packages get forwarded to whatever instance wanted (if I understand correctly) you don’t “unpack” (e.g check if it’s a valid request) which seems logic, the end instances does do the security check right? I mean if the end instance doesn’t check, you checking won’t help them out.
But then again, if I understand you correctly, the trust is split in two; the poster from A posting on B, then B sending all its posts to C, D, E, …
Which would mean it’s enough to trust B to trust A. If you trust B enough :-)
Guess I’m off to learn Rust and try to compile all this :-)
Thanks again, and sorry for the ramblings. It’s late here and I have not very much time.
