I am once again asking you to guarantee for some instances :) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There's a few open solicitations. Please take a look and guarantee for whoever doesn't look like spam to improve the health of the chain.

I should arrange somehow so that the newest instance to be guarantee'd automatically gets pinged when someone solicits one, just to keep things going as nobody pays attention.

What does guarantee an instinance mean?

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

For further info, check here. But to keep it short: when instance A "guarantees" instance B, instance B becomes part of a whitelist of instances, that other instances can use to decide if they'll federate or not with instance B. That only works if instance A is also a guaranteed instance, so it forms a full chain of trust, backtracking all the way into fediseer.com.
