It isn’t just on promoted posts, the admins regularly inflate the upvote count and use bor accounts to make the site appear busier than it really is.

Reddit boosts up votes so it appears more popular than it actually is.

Lemmy.world is a server running lemmy software. It’s federated so you can subscribe to lw communities of Mastodon and comment as well. Threads and Mastodon don’t support communities though so all they can do is subscribe and comment. There is no negative to lemmy servers of Threads being federated.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 10 months ago:
Because threads doesn’t have communities. All threads people can do it comment.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 10 months ago:
The thing you don’t get is that more common people will find the lemmy servers for the first time. Additionally it is more of a Twitter clone and doesn’t threaten much.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 10 months ago:
If you don’t subscribe to threads you’ll never see it.
- Comment on how did we survive threads earlier this year? 10 months ago:
Threads was a relatively bare-bones app when it launched. It didn’t have many of the features that users had come to expect from other social media apps, such as the ability to post photos or videos, or to add filters or stickers.

My popup blocker works on streaming so no commercials there.
- Comment on And this is why I no longer have cable. 10 months ago:
Cable shifted to low information viewers across the board decades ago. Dumb people watch commercials I guess.

Contact the Community Managers and let them know your suggestions.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Religion is built on a collective hatred towards everyone not in the collective. The fear of being cast out of that collective generates the toxicity you are referring to.

- Comment on Does anyone else feel like Kurzgesagt is describing the Fediverse in their latest video? 11 months ago:
No, I just use my LW account, but I could make other accounts if I wanted to. I could use Mastodon or any other service to browse the Fediverse with.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like Kurzgesagt is describing the Fediverse in their latest video? 11 months ago:
I am subscribed to several different instances of lemmy and I go to all of them through LW all sorted by new.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like Kurzgesagt is describing the Fediverse in their latest video? 11 months ago:
No, those are closed systems. You can’t start your own Facebook instance, you can launch a server with a lemmy instance.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like Kurzgesagt is describing the Fediverse in their latest video? 11 months ago:
The Fediverse just gives a path, it doesn’t restrict the paths. Anyone can make or join any community.
