OK, then I just wait and stop using this account until such feature gets implemented. Deletion is not an option as it would also delete all posts/comments. At least local ones, maybe even posts/comments on other instances. Dunno, if the User/Delete Activity is propagated to other instances (yet).
No, I meant lock as in disable login, remove email address, 2FA and freeze all content. This feature might not yet exist in lemmy but it probably should be implemented. Apart from a user leaving this might actually be required to properly handle a user passing away.
I thought beehaw.org defederating from us would not affect post/comments on shared source instances, e. g. lemmy.wtf, which is neither defederated from beehaw.org nor us:
Why do I see posts/comments from beehaw users on communities outside lemmy.world and beehaw.org?
That's because the "true" version of those posts is outside beehaw. So we get updates from those posts. And lemmy.world didn't defederate beehaw, so posts/comments from beehaw users can still come to versions hosted on lemmy.world.
After the group successfully verifies and wraps the received activity, it sends it to the inboxes of its followers. Followers then use the outer Announce activity to verify that the content was really approved by the group. After this step the Announce can be discarded and only the inner activity shown to users.
Cloudflare Challenge?
Since lemmy.world is now behind Cloudflare, is it possible that federation is hit by Cloudflare Challenges as described here?
It appears to be working now ... did not change anything on my side ... it just suddenly worked. ... but everything is so painfully slow ... and I also had at least one case where I was automatically logged out again after about 2 minutes ...
I'm not hating it at all. Stuff like this just happens. Lemmy (the software) as well as this instance was pretty much overrun by a stampede of new users while trying to make its first baby steps. What would you expect?
Which means that upgrading lemmy.world to 0.18.0 would probably solve this isuue, but I can fully understand why lemmy.world waits for Captchas to be restored (hopefully in 0.18.1).

Bye and Thanks for all your hard work!
