Remember that the button at the top of the sidebar expands the options to disable federation. (media.kbin.social)

when you say "disable federation" do you mean preventing our content (threads/comments/posts/etc by us as an individual) from being shared/seen on other instances? or do you mean that it prevents us from seeing federated content? or both?

At least from my quick test right now, it limits your home page to posts within kbin.social. Not sure if it works the other way around, too, preventing your posts from going out into the fediverse.

@ernest can you clarify this?

[–] roofuskit@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You only see local only. Unless the instance de-federates your content can be seen on other instances.

Nice. That's exactly how it should work honestly. Though I'll just leave it on because I like accessing the fediverse :)
