Now if only lemmy.world would follow.
Fediverse
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
- What is the fediverse?
- Fediverse Platforms
- How to run your own community
Let's block them too lmao 🤣🤣🤭
It's interesting that Mastodon instances are trending in the opposite direction of Lemmy instances. Most are staying federated with Threads. I wonder if that's simply indicative of the strong anti-corporate culture on Lemmy, or if there's more to it.
Maybe that and the creator of Mastodon actively rolling out the red carpet for Zuck
Yep. Meta's convinced him that this is a huge victory for Mastodon -- and a good way for him to achieve his goal of getting Mastodon to 100,000,000 users.
It's also because Mastodon has a different structure. While Lemmy tries to mimic Reddits structure with individual communities, Mastodon follows Twitters structure as a larger hub more.
Mastodon, being less "subdivided" therefore can afford federation with such an entity with less risk. Their collective mass being able to offset threads weight more, in comparison to Lemmy where each community has to compete individually with Threads.
It's also interesting that nobody's asking "how is Threads federating with Mastodon/Lemmy?" All the focus is on the underdog but shouldn't we pull our heads out of the bubble and give some attention to what the big dog is doing?
They're probably using ActivityPub?
They're just stupid.
Someone posted this in another thread and the stats are genuinely misleading here. All the super large instances are federating with Meta, with like 90% of the users.
I'd be happy to update it with more correct information if you can find more accurate numbers.
From https://fedipact.veganism.social/ the largest instances in order of active users are:
- Lemmy.world - Federates
- LemmyNSFW.com - Blocks
- Lemmy-ml - Blocks
- Lemm.ee - Blocks
- programming.dev - Federates.
They are probably mean including mastodon, which is larger and generally federates with threads
And mine is one of them
With how bad Lemmy federates across other platforms, even those still federating won’t be seen on Threads lol
Is kbin.social still going to federate?
I hope so. Preemptive defederation is a stupid idea.
First as tragedy, then as ~~farce~~ kbin.social
But why?
Don't want a single inch of corpo tendrils winding their way into my new space
If someone's punched you in the face and robbed you blind the last 15 times you invited them over, do you think the 16th time is gonna be different?
Meta is poison.
Because the point of federation is the choice, no?
