They seems to really embrace open social media. I have a couple of questions to see what their true intension is. It is assumed that they would federate with fediverse soon (plenty of reports of that already)...
Aether is a reddit alternative not dissimilar to Lemmy in that it is distributed and open source....
When you step outside the fediverse and try to talk to others about it on corporate platforms, chances are you’ll either get, “Yeah that’s too complicated” or “Isn’t it full of [insert bad people here]?” or some variation thereof, at least if they’ve heard of it at all. A lot of this comes down to communication...
I just wanted to share my thoughts with you. I will appreciate hearing what you think....
So I’m really starting to consider starting a few small communities just to help grow the communities. I have never moderated anything and I am just curious on what to expect. Things such as tools to use or things to look out for?
I don’t understand what Meta will gain from participating in the fediverse? Their ultimate goal is to make money of Threads and I just don’t see how encouraging an open federation will help them do it? Even 3Eing the fediverse will not do them much good as they already have sooo much traffic already that killing the...
Sorry for reposting, but I think it is crucial to talk about this. Fediverse forward 🏁
An interesting article I saw (from 2019) describing the potential intrinsic tendency for decentralized platforms to collapse into de facto centralized ones....
Working on an awesome Macro/Microblogging project to bring to the Fediverse. Very excited as it has been built based on hundreds of users feedback regarding Mastodon and the Fediverse. I know time is precious so not looking to suck up anyones time. I respect whatever bandwidth people have to give.
Everyone is talking about how Meta is trying to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish the Fediverse. Meta won’t be alone for long in this goal, there will be a lot of capitalist actors that would try to do the same in the long run....
Meta exist to make a profit, however they’re never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they’re never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their...
From what I understand, Threads will be joining the fediverse, and Bluesky is going to be federated. Will I eventually be able to access both from my Lemmy instance? I’m also still trying to wrap my head around the whole concept so I’m not even sure if I’m asking my question correctly
…or how do you all picture the endgame of Meta’s EEE campaign?...

Lemmy vs kbin witch one should in chose terms of privacy and content amount?
Discussion topic for you all, I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on this!...
One of the things that sets Lemmy, and the collective fediverse apart from other platforms is its community. Recently, there’s been a large influx of new users (myself included; thus I apologize if this is not the right location for this post). A toxic trait associated with other platforms is the incorrect use of the downvote....
Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I’m not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.
Found it on Twitter.
It’s so funny seeing a large group (almost all) of the people in my feed being so excited about this new social media thing that they managed to get in through invitation on Instagram....
To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had...
My hot take on Threads after one night.
Since Bluesky reopened for signups, does anyone have any invite codes? If so, feel free to DM me. I want to get out of Twitter.
