Some good-faith questions of some seemingly apparent benefits of a potential Corporate Fediverse, and the detriments of defederating from a Corporate Fediverse. Could I get some answers?

Hey guys. I admittedly am mostly a layman to the Fediverse as a concept. So I am coming into this post with the knowledge that I don’t understand the technical intricacies of it....

Is there a website that lists the response time of fediverse instances over time and their average?

I find something like this very interesting. Additionally, I hope that awesome-lemmy-instances will merge this feature since the low number of blocked users and consistent low latency are the two main things I look for when searching for a new instance.

Is Mastodon’s strictly chronological news feed based on a wrong assumption?

The assumption is that centrally managed social media is bad because their algorithm is bad. But actually, they are bad because they are centrally managed and force one algorithm onto you. I’m not even advocating algorithm-by-choice. Even instance-specific algorithms would already work and would make the whole experience much...

Is there a way to follow, friend, or subscribe to a user like a community?

Title, basically. Back on Reddit, there was a way to add a user as a friend. It made it easer to identify people (Apollo would highlight friends differently), as well as to see what they’re up to across all communities. There was even a feed for all posts by all friends, which was really useful.

Question about Lenny? If instance leaves

If an instance were to leave the fediverse do we loose all its data? Say for example iPad Lenny.ml domain was seized or was forced to shutdown so we loose all communities from that host? Do we not see any posts? Can we still post to it? Seems like a big flaw if we have multiple large instances that can shutdown a significant...

Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux

The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint… there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with “which instance?”...

looking for Android and iOS devs for a great fediverse project

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.

How do you feel about Threads?

I heard it will be on the Fediverse. Is it true? I heard it had 30 millions users registered on the first day. Wtf. The whole Fediverse doesn’t even have 10 millions users. I heard it will not be available in Europe, yet. I visited www.threads.net and I don’t know if it’ll be the Threads instance to the Fediverse....

What exactly are the differences between Mastodon and Misskey?

Exploring the fediverse has been fun, but I’m still trying to figure out things. I have a mastodon account, but also decided to check out other fediverse projects and came across misskey. Made an account or miruku.cafe, and it seems quite similar to mastodon to me. Are they very similar?
