Hello guys! New here. I’m coming in peace from a friendly polish instance - fedit.pl. Actually I was contacted by Alice (I believe?) on one of subreddits, had a very nice chat and figured that this instance has to be quite cool. A question for starters - you are not federated - why? If you don’t want to federate with all that crap out there, you can just put a few friendly instances on your whitelist in admin options (assuming they also have only friendly whitelisted instances).
How does it work? What do you mean by descendants?
Well, the admin of EH closed down the instance because of all the blocking he got from the other instances. We moved first to another platform called nostr, but since the community there is Bitcoin ciclejerk we decided to get back on lemmy. HC is basically the community of EH
