If I’m importing a butt-load of content into my instance, should I temporarily set federation: { enabled: false } while importing to avoid pissing other instance-admins off?
I’m assuming my instance could face some repercussions like:
- being rate-limited
- being blacklisted
- clogging remote search indexes up with gigs of crap
- flooding remote feeds and pissing off remote users
Am I wrong?
Am I missing something?
Is there a better way to prevent these side-effects?
You must log in or register to comment.

sounds reasonable
This is only a problem if you use the Lemmy API, You should do the import by writing to the database directly
That sounds like a bad idea, using the api is much safer.
