Excited for the Cassette Beasts update next week? I’ve been checking to see if it’d go on sale for a few weeks/months now but I’m guessing it isn’t likely to with a major update on the way. Not sure if I should pick it up or wait for the next sale, how are you finding it? Been wanting to play a creature collector recently after watching so much Persona 3 but haven’t wanted to go back to my digimon/persona playthroughs

If you can give me any more details, let me know. Looking at your instance, I only see two communities from lemmy.today, and one looks like it was deleted, so should only be their announcements one. Is the one you’re having trouble interacting with the potentially deleted one?

Or do you mean users rather than communities? If you’re trying to report threads or comments, are they potentially already removed from blahaj and then it won’t let you interact with them?

To sum up some things about cross instance interaction as of this date:

• reports do propagate to lemmy
• moderator actions do not propagate back
• direct messages don’t work cross instance

To clarify, Mbin reports do make it to lemmy as of this PR, but lemmy moderator actions taken, such as removing comments, does not then make it back to Mbin. Not exactly the most clear situation to be in right now, but it’s been iterative process to get all the systems correctly hooked up to the fediverse.

My post didn’t make it to blahaj or fedia 🤔 that’s not good… the other one after did, though

I can think of Forspoken and Deathloop

They could, yes. Afaik no extra work was needed on lemmy’s side once Mbin changed to report moderators in the same manner (aside from some kind of activity which triggered a refresh of the data)

However, looking at peertube, it looks like they already are using the attributedTo field for the group with a person, which is different from the FEP. For the channel you link in the OP specifically:

"attributedTo": [
  {
    "type": "Person",
    "id": "https://tilvids.com/accounts/thelinuxexperiment"
  }
]

It’s possible PeerTube could change to make a /moderators endpoint and respond with that as the FEP suggests, or Lemmy and other software to change to accept this array of actor types instead. I’m not sure who decides these things or if there is an evangelist for FEPs, It’s possible this was already discussed on the peertube github as well, I didn’t look through all the past issues as there are quite a lot

What gets to me is the “Thanks in advance”. I might be alone in this, I asked a co-worker and she said it just seemed like normal dialogue, but I interpret that as “You don’t have a say in the matter, you will do this, your consent is not needed”. Granted, the people who say this to me are my boss or director, so they’re right, I don’t have a choice. But if I wanted to be reminded of reality, I wouldn’t play so many video games.

An ActivityPub group actor defining its moderators is a specific implementation of the AP protocol. You can find the spec details lemmy uses here. An Mbin contributor recently implemented this to line up with Lemmy, but whether other fediverse software do or will is up to them, as it’s more of a community proposal than an official implementation of the spec. So when you see no moderators from other software, they likely just do not implement the linked FEP
