While I like the spirit of the idea, I think it would end up being a huge mess.
I don't see such a thing staying federated long, if ever.
I've used Dread before (a Reddit Tor alternative) and didn't encounter any of those issues. Do you speak from experience?
Myself, no. Only that I've read some sites block access from known tor and vpn endpoints for such reasons.
The possibility for it is there. If so, I hope some of them will be i2p then.
I'd also love an eepsite. i saw that Dread was working on setting up their eepsite.
You mean lemmy as an onion service? Onion addresses aren't reachable unless you have Tor enabled. Won't that create a parallel darknet fediverse on Tor network that doesn't interact with clearnet fediverse?
Do you know if that's possible?
If an instance has an onion address, the text will come through Tor; however, pictures from other instances will still go through exit nodes since only the instance that hosts a community serves the media. My understanding is that Kbin federates everything but I haven’t used it and am unsure how it interacts with a Lemmy for media.

What about if it's an unfederated instance?
That's possible already.
Do you have any link to a tutorial or something?
Wdym by "share direct media links"?
Direct download links. The ones that aren't allowed in this instance and lemmy.dbzer0.com
it's kind of a shame we go to all the trouble to switch to the free and open fediverse and we still can't post links to pirated stuff
Just because it's a federated open source system doesn't mean that those who run it are free from the legal issues which could arise b
yeah I understand, it just is ironic is all
