Yes, it is possible.

I am the instance admin, and I am asking you to check it precisely because I am trying to troubleshoot it...
My point is that we should take their current approach as a good thing.
I"m not saying that we should blindly trust them, but I am saying that if we want corporations to Do The Right Things, then it's a lot better to let them have a seat at the table and participate with the community than to simply ostracize them forever because of their past wrongdoings.
Then I'd ask you to please check again your language settings, or talk with the admin of your instance. There really is no reason for it to be failing.
What happens if you try posting to the community? (I noticed now that my comments are only accepted if I let the language as "undetermined")
Can you try unsubbing and trying again? I checked with people with multiple different instances and it seems to be working fine...
They don't "need" the SWF. If Zuckerberg wanted to simply takeover the control of ActivityPub, they could just use their existing devrel people that work with the W3C and push the changes directly at the "authoritative" organization.
Can you subscribe to it just fine, or is it in "pending" state?
Language settings?
If you have examples of relays differentiating themselves based on moderation policies, it would be appreciated. Not just "we are extreme free speech holders" vs "we pay attention to some laws here". What nostr relay is actually running a strict filter, or do any type of analysis on the message content beyond "payment only"?
as if instances have not gone down with users identities.
If instances go down, there are still lots of possible backups: someone can recover the domain name and regenerate keys (or even recover a database copy). If someone loses a private key, there is no turning back. The fact that (some) poorly managed system are not recoverable does not mean that it is as fragile as something as nostr that gives up completely on making it.
allowing users the ability to drive their own experiences.
The same can be achieved on ActivityPub, no new protocol is needed for that.
Also, this is not matter of individualism, but of UX. It's "nice" when users have the ability to make decisions on their own, but it is terrible when they have to make all decisions on their own to get started.
The one thing that I have in mind is improving the reddit bot for match threads and adding real time score tracker and links to game highlights.
Not willing to make prominent displays of sailor's links, but I could let the mods run a bot that sends DMs to users who ask a specific question.
Are the mods here planning to do any special type of work on this community? Because I've seen that Threads has added a new feature about live score tracking, and I'm wondering if something similar can be done on !nba@nba.space.
(Also, I've already asked @TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml whether he'd be interested in joining forces there, and I'd like to extend the invite to all mods here)
This is not a matter for instance admins but for proper community moderation.
