What if…just hear me…what if you just enjoy your time on the threadiverse and live Reddit alone?
The beauty of the fediverse is that those people exist in their own servers and you can simply join servers that defederate from theirs.
I’ve got some news about the demographics of the threadiverse
We already have sites that offer small communities; what we needed was a replacement for Reddit.
The thing is neither Lemmy not kbin were made to be Reddit replacements.
The reason Reddit/Facebook/et al are so huge is because people want to have a single community to talk with
They’re also centralised and their respective servers can tolerate much more content being shared/posted onto them than a fediverse server can. Having different communities allows for a given server not to be saturated.
Idk why there are so many general use instances when the threadiverse would be a great place for themed instances to exist. But even with thematic instances you can’t avoid similar communities existing (because multiples servers could exist for the same topic/fandom/etc.
Something that connects communities about the same topic from different servers into a “macro-community”, so everything posted in any of the communities can be read when you click one of them, without putting to much pressure into a sole server, would be cool. But I don’t think is posible with AP alone.
Because they’re two different communities/magazines hosted in two different servers from two different platforms
Federation makes it posible for you to participate in both
Yes. Defederation of bad actors has always been common and it’s expected.
Why would anyone still be on Twitter when Mastodon, Akkoma, Calckey, GoToSocial, etc exist?
Could it be a problem due to the newest Lemmy software upgrade?
For what I read it’s a complete mess.
It denies access from non-en-us browsers, for example.
It wouldn’t surprise me if it messed with federation too.
But, they’re the devs. They did this mess. Why would they present a software upgrade that clearly had a lot of issues is beyond me…
On the Fediverse no, there isn’t. The closest thing would be Matrix (as someone mentioned above). But Matrix, while, decentralised, it’s not truly part of the fediverse.
So a chat platform is something the fediverse is lacking, but idk how posible it is as federation = less security and less privacy. For example, it wouldn’t be able to add end-to-end encryption.
Matrix is decentralised but not part of the fediverse as it doesn’t make use of ActivityPub or any other federated protocol. It’s isolated in its own protocol.
If anybody wants to share a link to kbin/Lemmy so people join, don’t send the official Lemmy or Kbin page (or the official page of any federated platform) nor the link to any given server. Share instead links to the Join the fediverse wiki, fedeverse party, etc that have lists of servers and also have posts explaining anything a person needs to know to start an account on any decentralized platform/server.

Let say someone wants. to upload a image of the Canadian flag and needs to add a description. it could be this way:
“An image of the Canadian flag. It contains three vertical stripes, its colours from left-to-right are: red, white, red. The white stripe is twice as long in wide and contains a read maple leaf in its centre”
Three rules:
As it can be seeing in my first example, there’s no mention of the sky, the ground, the type of phone, etc. as they’re not relevant information. The main objects there a squirrel, tree and person.
Try to give a complete description: Explain in detail the the important visual information.
Add the context of the image when necessary: where does it come from? What relation it has to the context it was in? Often context isn’t necessary. Only add it when it’s important to understand the image you’re describing.
Please add text description to your images/screenshots
Most of these are alt-right/nazi and tankie instances/hubs/pods that are globally defederated and that they imported from a public list of “defederable servers”.
The blocked and limited list of my mastodon server is way bigger than Beehaw’s.
You mean if the instance I’m in defederated from one of them?
Well, I have a Beehaw account, so even if this server and Beehaw defederated, I’ll still have access to Beehaw-hosted content. Also, I tend to not participate in Beehaw communities from my kbin account.
I don’t care much about Lemmy World, my kbin instance (this one, the one I’m registered in) federates with it, cool, but I wouldn’t be angry if it didn’t.
I wouldn’t care either way.
But, there’s no actual risk of Beehaw defederating from any Kbin instance nor did the admins cut federation completely. People are making this issue way bigger than it actually is.
Beehaw didn’t defederate from everyone else, just from two instances. the threadiverse and the fediverse are much more bigger than these two servers.
I have no intention to ever go back to reddit, I’m quite happy with both lemmy and kbin. Just like I have no intention to ever go back to twitter, mastodon and akkoma (I’m yet to try calckey) having replaced it for me completely.
I left almost all centralised social media behind, except tumblr (which has a similar culture to the fediverse) and youtube.
This could only work if it’s done en masse. Organized and synchronized.
Subreddits doing any of this on their own will only get their mods removed faster
The average user doesn’t want to migrate here, though. The average user is either content to keep their Reddit account or thinking on migrating to another big centralised platform.
Open-source decentralised platforms like the fediverse and its projects aren’t remotedly interesting for the average user.
