For real though, since I joined Lemmy (last Friday, 4 days into blackout) I probably spend as much daily time here as I spent there before blackout ๐ but I'm enjoying it !

I'm still trying to wrap around my mind about how this federated universe works. Like i know that I could access the content of this instance (is this the correct name?) from Mastodon and I did subcribe to a few lemmy instances from there but didn't manage to read any posts. Plus the thing that in Lemmy i use an account from another instance and I can read and post on everything but not by accessing it directly. It's kind of counfusing and I think this will be the greatest break to it's diffusion. Otherwise definitely better than Twitter/Reddit for sure.
This should help
Lmao I love the emphasis on "everywhere else" with Beehaw at the center as if they hadn't just defederated half of Lemmy from their instance including two of the ones displayed in the image (LW&SJW)
They did? What's the story there? Why'd they do it?
https://beehaw.org/post/567170
they wanted to have a safe space without adding more admins & mods so they cut off 2 out of the 5 biggest instances and dozens of others as can be seen here: https://beehaw.org/instances
Bummer, I guess I can see why they'd do it with the open registration and floods of probable bots on the other instances, but it's still kinda sad to see. Thanks for the info!
Pretty cool infographic. Thanks.
