I switched to lemm.ee

I love it!! It looks like an underwater pic, or from an alien world.

I use Nova launcher (free edition) and is great, tons of customization!

I’m shocked by this post. And looking for a new instance.

I wanted an instance that doesn’t defederate based on ideology (except fascist instances) and of a generalist nature. I want to browse the wide fediverse from an instance where I’m allowed to be a socialist, but clearly lemmy.world is not the one for me.

Any recommendations?

Just block them bro.

So preemptively defederating from Meta (literally Evil Corp, that backed genocide and fascism) is not okey, but doing the same with communists is.

I’m starting to get a feel of what Lemmy World really is.

Same for me.

I thought this was an illustration! Amazing work.

I noticed the same thing on Mastodon. The new users per day ratio is slowing, but each time Elon does his thing there’s a new wave.

Thank you and the other admins for the thoughtful and transparent answer.

We would like to express our disappointment with the negative and threatening tone of some of these discussions

Considering that a great percentage of the Fediverse userbase are ex-users of Reddit and Twitter that left due to CEO actions, I get that they (including me) don’t trust Meta or want anything to do with them. I agree that discussion should be civil nonetheless.

You may find confusing how there could be at the same communities (subreddits) with the same name in different instances. You can use the Lemmy Community Browser to find communities easily among different instances.

You’re posts are visible from other Fediverse sites, like Mastodon or Kbin and you can interact with their users.

An user or an instance can block users or instances. If you have an account on lemmy.world and the instance admins blocks another instance you won’t be able to see the posts or comments made from their users.

Is there anything in particular that you want to know?

I can totally see that.

I’m not in a hurry to migrate, as Threads doesn’t support federation yet, but is not a bad idea to keep an eye on other instances.

It’s not about the data they can collect. As long as we don’t use the Meta app or register in their instance we’re on the clear. The problem is giving them power.

I’m not an evil genius shithead like Zuck, but it could go this way:

1. They enter the Fediverse as the biggest instance.
2. They artificially slow down connections with other instances. That way, lots of users from smaller intances will migrate to the Meta one. Only the ones concerned about our privacy will remain in independent instances.
3. Once most of the userbase of the Fediverse is on their instance, they keep slowing it, or adding “features” only available in their app, effectively building a wall between them and the rest of instances.
4. Finally they defederate, leaving the rest of the fediverse weaker than it was.

There are some key thoughts in this article.

Yes, at https://fedipact.online/

The admin is the same person, so is expected that they apply the same policy for both instances.

The problem with Meta is that they will harm the Fediverse.

I found this article interesting, written by a dev who worked with google during the XMPP EEE and was originally a XMPP dev, thinking that a big company could only mean more success for the FOSS alternative. He was wrong.

The admins stated on Mastodon that they’re not going to defederate until something happens. Knowing Meta they shouldn’t give them the chance.

Yes, I totally agree with you.

My fear is that some people is advocating for defederating the instances that doesn’t defederate Meta. In my opinion that would be awful for the health of the Fediverse, as it’ll be even more scattered.

I understand, but if they defederate the Fediverse will be what used to be, right? I’m pretty happy with how are Mastodon and Lemmy so far. I joined both during the Blackout and I don’t mind less content but higher quality.
