Lately in the light of more Internet censorship I’ve been trying to establish more reserve channels for communication. As part of it, I am exploring some of the .onion services that are available.
Since at least 2023, there was a discussion of using Lemmy on Tor network. Are there any actual instances or mirrors of instances available through it? Also, is it possible to federate between .onion and clearnet Lemmy instances?
I forget but I think someone in the Linux sphere set up lemmy sites as a distinct unit for download on apt or kde or snap or something. Might be worth looking into.
Supposedly once you’re hosting sites it’s easy to set it up as a tor service in some setting or other, but I imagine federation afterward to be a bit of a challenge. It would have to fit the activitypub protocol or whatever it is and I’m not sure how to make that work over such a gap.
