As a reminder, ClubsAll is still showing all of Lemmy's content without federating back

ClubsAll is an interactive online platform that empowers users to connect with people, engage in a wide range of discussions, and share content on a variety of topics.

A post from 2 months ago which explained the context: https://lemmy.world/post/20694710

I just had a look, nothing has changed, the website is still using Lemmy's content to pretend to be active

Just saw this and while I can't check at the moment the instances admins I've pinged might want to consider defederating from Clubsall

- Defederated. If they start federating outwards, I'll lift it
  
  Well done!
- Hi there, I am creator of clubsall. There are a lot of adhoc discussions and rules. Some discussions such as this one does skip my notice too. So it has been very difficult to be fair and run a new instance. It seems anyone trying to build a lemmy competitor is being killed. If that is the rule, lets state that and I will kill clubsall myself.
  If not, can I request a discussion or at least a set of rules that we should comply to so I can save clubsall?

  My concern is that you receive content from our communities without generating anything back
  
  We have no traffic, so even if we had federation out, we would still generate nothing back. In other words, I am promising to implement federation out before our instance matters.
  
  From what I understand, Clubsall doesn't allow federation to go both ways and accept that users outside of its domain can participate freely in their communities.
  Can't have it both ways of leeching the posts from other large instances while simultaneously making it an exclusive club where only local users can participate, it goes contrary to the social contract and spirit of the Fediverse.
  
  Well put
  
  That is fair to say. We are not trying to have it both ways, just need time to get there. We started with moving to sublinks library. This seems to be the best path forward, but timelines got extended after we found out that federation out is also under development there as well.

  Oh yes, that's probably why https://piefed.social/ and https://kbin.melroy.org/ are never praised as alternatives, nor are they fully compatible with Lemmy both ways.
  (For people unaware, they are)
  
  Thanks for replying. I am not sure what is the history or intentions of these instances, but we will certainly get there.
