Is there a way to see a list of all of the registered users on an instance?

Can we restrict registered usernames (e.g. not allow slur-filled usernames)?

Are all Lemmy instances openly federated unless they are on the block list?

Not currently.

Yes, the slur_filter in the config.hjson will prevent any usernames with that slur in it.

But also, we recommend turning on registration applications in your server settings.

3 types of federation: open (default), allowlist, and blocklist.

Thank you.

afaik no (not yet?), you could look them up in the database

if your instance uses open federation, yes. it then basically federates with all other “open” instances and those who have yours on their allow-list (and which are not on your block-list).

if your instance uses an allow-list, only allowed instances could federate, no need for blocking here.

Make an issue for this, it sounds like something that will get done.

As an aside, this question was prompted because we noticed someone had registered to our instance with the name of “hitlerschild” and posted, through federation, to the post “Do you read books?” posted on asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

Given this is a potential abuse vector, it might be wise to also globally restrict federated posting on new accounts from any instance for some period of time such as 24-72 hours.

We recommend turning on registration applications in your server settings, almost all lemmy instances have been getting trolled these last 3 weeks.

Would this issue fall under the front-end UI or the back-end?
