  • ActivityPub implementations generally don’t allow this.

    This comment will, when I click ‘Reply’, be sent to your instance (dormi.zone), that instance should then run it’s filter/block checks on it and if it’s happy it will forward it onto the lemmy.ml instance for further disemination amongst the subscribers of the group.

    If you were to have blocked me then my reply will appear on my instance only (which is admitedly tiny - at 1 user) and go no further. This kind of falls apart if I were to be on a bigger instance as more people would see the reply.

    That said, Lemmy may not be doing that quite right as the whole Groups/Communities thing is sort of an extension of the main protocol. I hope it’s doing it the right way.





  • Each devices encryption keys are unique and non-transferable. Each message in a conversation is encrypted in such a way that every participating device at the time of sending can decrypt it.

    New devices (like desktop clients) didn’t have their keys used for old messages and so can’t decrypt them. There is no way to reencrypt old messages with additional new keys.

    It’s both annoying as shit, and also the only way to ensure a bad actor can’t just add themselves to conversations they weren’t a part of.
