Why I probably won't defederate from Threads (plume.helios42.de)
The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta’s new Threads app. Here’s why I probably won’t (for now)....

Does it seem like we’re mixing two concepts, having servers for users and content?
It feels like they’re two different roles. It might be better to have user-orientated servers that prioritise federation of content and only have a couple of meta-style communities, and other servers which prioritise being the go-to place for discussion on a particular topic and less a place that manages a large number of user...
[Discussion] I don't think this format makes a lot of sense for the fediverse
A lot of us come from reddit, so we’re naturally inclined to want a reddit-like platform. However, it occurred to me that the reddit format makes little sense for the fediverse....

Federation test
I’m testing if people can see my instance. Reply with your instance.
So where are we all supposed to go now? / It’s the end of a social era on the web. That’s probably a good thing. But I already miss the places that felt like everyone was there. (www.theverge.com)

How to find moderators for a community?
How do people go about finding moderators they trust for a community? I could find someone who posts a lot and then ask them in a private message, but maybe there is some other way. Do people mainly mod people they know personally? I kind of want to find someone who is in a completely different time zone so they would be awake...

Fediverse questions I couldn't find the answer anywhere
I joined the fediverse like 2 weeks ago. I’m trying to find the answers to all my doubts reading discussions around, watching videos etc, but there are still some questions I’m looking an answer for. Here they are:...
As Twitter flounders, Mastodon refreshes its official app for Android users (techcrunch.com)
What if the instance that I'm at blocks Threads, but people that I follow are from Instances that don't?
Will I still see contents from people who are from servers that don’t defederate from Meta’s Threads?
Wouldn't the fediverse work better if it was like a drive array rather than independent communities on independent servers?
I get the impression that we’re headed for the same issues that pop up when we put all our eggs in one basket with Reddit/FB/whatever. People flock to the largest instance, and someday that instance could go down due to cost or the host losing interest....
Federation Lag-o-meter (aftershock.lemmy.management)
I made this based on the gripe about some of the silent failures with federation. Might help users choose other servers. Might help admins troubleshoot. Open to comments and criticisms!
