The Wikimedia Foundation has joined the fediverse by setting up their own Mastodon server! (wikimedia.social)
A new way to search for communities (www.search-lemmy.com)
I keep see people complaining about not being able to find active communities that match their interests. So I’ve added a new feature to www.search-lemmy.com that allows you to search posts for a particular topic and then it tells you which communities have the most posts matching your search query....
The Fediverse Report - Last Week in the Fediverse – episode 27 (fediversereport.com)
Lemmy.ml ~~is down right now~~ (back online, was unreachable for about 6 hours) (isitdownorjust.me)
lemmy.world had a DDOS in the past 24 hours, Lemmy.ml was showing problem, but now it is entirely unreachable. lemmy.world was showing “Error!” page (server still reachable), but that seems to have only lasted for a hour or so.
Soon 80000 active per day. Help by inviting friends to lemmy :) (lemmy.myserv.one)
Dont forget to do your part by telling other people not on lemmy to try it. Its content has improved a lot so ask them to try it again if they didnt find communities they liked before. It will help the continued growth :)

Why are Mastodon's trending hashtags so ... dull? (lemm.ee)
As a new user, I’m enjoying Mastodon’s vibe so far but the one thing that is a letdown is the trending hashtags. I’ve been checking them regularly over the past couple of weeks and it seems like they’re pretty much always like this....

If the majority of the Fediverse is going to defederate from Meta Threads, does that mean we will defederate from Tumblr too? (kbin.social)

We have 2-3 months to compile a Threads block list (www.timothychambers.net)
It is expected to be 2-3 months before Threads is ready to federate (see link). There will, inevitably, be five different reactions from instances:...
Would appreciate if some people helped put some load on my instance (lemmy.myserv.one)
Hi I have an instance but still very underutilized. If anyone is feeling lawful-good please can you try using my instance for a while to increase the load?...

Are there any plans for a Block Party type initiative (see link for details) to assist with moderating Threads (and others)? (www.theverge.com)
One of the most difficult problems for instances which do federate with Threads (full support for both them and the Fedipact) is the lack of moderation and very large number of bad actors on Threads. The ability to share block lists and automatically apply certain types of block would help a lot. Does anything like this already...
