- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 10 months ago:
I’m subscribed to many communities (like multiple anime communities) and I barely to not see them). I quite miss the conversations on Lemmy.
I only subscribe to smaller communities and browse big communities from ‘all’ (although I rarely do). That way big communities don’t drown out what I actually want to see.
- Comment on Untangling Threads | Erin Kissane 10 months ago:
Yes, but look at the post: you only see the title and a link to the original post. It is just a placeholder. I am doubtful whether Threads will even have such a placeholder at all given their “careful” approach to federation.
- Comment on Untangling Threads | Erin Kissane 10 months ago:
I know. But it is still not sure if they will ever be able to, because Lemmy uses the
articleformat for posts while microblogging platforms usenote. - Comment on Untangling Threads | Erin Kissane 10 months ago:
Because a lot of people here are also on the microblogging side of the Fediverse and a lot of people find Lemmy/kbin’s presentation of conversations a lot more appealing.
Also a lot of people don’t realize that we won’t see Threads content at all because they don’t quite understand how federation works.

Fair point, but they also save to please the EU, which won’t buy them creating a new protocol with two existing ones gaining major traction, of which one is w3c standard.

Yes, for now. There is discussion to make it opt-out, which Eugen advocates for. Also, if it remains opt-in, very few people there actually have any reason to opt in, which is quite fishy because that means they are trying to keep their silo. Either way we should treat them with caution.

idk, the primary motivator is probably PR, but there is a chance that there’s still a trace, a glimmer of empathy and excitement for innovation, hidden way down somewhere in that human.
Don’t count on it, though.

If you want to avoid the toxic crowd, I definitely recommend Beehaw.org. Their entire purpose is to build a community without the toxicity often seen on social media platforms. In fact, they have even defederated lemmy.world because they couldn’t control said crowd.

Look, I hate Meta as much as the next person, but they really don’t have that much leverage over the Fediverse as people are making it seem. It is completely optional to follow their accounts so they have little direct control over people’s feeds, not to mention that their active userbase is quite small. I’d say a better approach is simply restricting interaction by making it opt-in in all ways, just like social.coop.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 10 months ago:
Threads’ size will unaviodably disrupt the Fediverse if they federate fully, regardless their intentions. I think the appropriate approach is making interaction opt-in, like social.coop does: social.coop/@eloquence/111588877096843391

That said, there is a lot that can be done on a lot of platforms to give communities more of their own touch. Right now, most Fediverse platforms are currently very invested into the idea of complete decentralisation and treat other instances just like their own.
Half-centralisation measures like allowing microblogs to be unlisted outside the home instance or being able to hide a community from other instances’ All feeds, or even blocking outside users from posting in a community, would definitely be welcome. Point is the solution is not to keep the entire network small, but rather features encouraging interaction locally allowing for community building.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 10 months ago:
Well I’d really like you to elaborate. What prevents individual instances from being a nice environment even if it can connect to a giant network? On Lemmy for instance there are several instances with very nice local feeds and also on several microblogging instances there are strong internal communities. Just because the rest of the Fediverse is there doesn’t mean you have to see it all.

I know, I’m just emphasising on it, and its needlessness.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 10 months ago:
Just because the Fediverse is mainstream doesn’t mean that the content on every instance is mainstream; instances can display content however they like. It really is rather selfish to say that you want everyone to stay in the corporate walled gardens just so that you can enjoy your unfiltered feed.

Good luck! Remember to hashtag your posts generously at first, because there’s no algorithm!

I’d say Pixelfed is great for photography; unlike Instagram its userbase is actually photography-focused, but unfortunately you cannot count on people to include all details in their posts.
- Comment on Threads is making moves for Mastodon integration 10 months ago:
I will consider to stop using lemmy…
You World peeps keep forgetting that other instances exist. Threads is one of the only two domains that my instance blocks. In fact, .world is in the minority by federating Threads: for example the second largest instance, lemm.ee, and the original instance, lemmy.ml, have both blocked Threads.
Also, considering how little Mastodon users interact with Lemmy, even you guys will see close to nothing of them.

Dude, I know I’m like a week late to the party, but to defend your project by saying that everyone is just browsing incorrectly is not a very good look.

Although Mastodon plus web client phanpy.social is arguably even more modern. But I encourage supporting smaller projects!

You can block both NSFW and bot posts in your account settings. I do the former, but I don’t want to miss out on the good bots so I just block the bad ones individually. Then, memes usually stay in the meme communities and it is quite easy to block those.
- Comment on alien.top is a new level of Reddit crossposting spam 11 months ago:
There are a lot of subreddits that have set up their own Lemmy communities. There’s not much hindering them.
- Comment on alien.top is a new level of Reddit crossposting spam 11 months ago:
I think the thought is good, but overall I believe in growing the Fediverse as an independent community. People will also not see the appeal if it seems like we rely on other platforms. What I do think we can do to address the content issue is to improve integration with other Fediverse platforms such as Mastodon, since they are already compatible and have the necessary userbase.
