Attention StarTrek fans! You’re new assignment to the Fediverse has arrived. All hands, boarding has begun! Make it so! Join us at the exclusive home for Star Trek on Lemmy.World!
Yeah, at this point feel like it’d be more helpful for some communities to exist bu restrict posts and redirect people to instances that have an established community so serving as a guide on where to go.
Much like how back on reddit there’d be subs that only served that purpose of redirecting users to the main community despite having millions of active users.
How are you not silenced exactly like you would be on Reddit? People downvotes posts and comments they don’t agree with exactly like reddit, but here if the admins disagree they defederate entire instances over it. Hot page is completely useless compared to reddit, so only the most upvotes posts from the most popular subs are visible, and comments have the exact same issues reddit comments had. Nothing about this system is mechanically different from reddits system, baring how votes get totaled because of federation, (also the hot sort is uses).
Maybe 12? Just the celebrity ones that kept popping up, really. Not only because I do not give a single fuck about any celebrity enough to have a desire to see them naked, but also because those subs don’t actually have porn which is the content I expect from that instance.
I mean, I had to find and make an account on the instance just to see most of it in the first place when I was looking for hentai and furry porn communities.
Unfortunately what seems to be the cached version of lemmy.fmhy.ml is now slowly disappearing from Cloudflare. Those 2 comments have now been lost as well along with most of the content.
You can think of it like group chats. Each and every chat is an instance. And to be federated just means that two chats have agreed, that there is one person who copies the text from one chat to the other. In principle this, but much more organized with communities (sub groups) and subscriptions and the like.
Now in reality this is much more complicated, because people want to be identifiable across instances, which is why you can’t have just one person in the chat posting Just the text, they need to mention who it was that texted that.
Losing the domain was like the person who was in both chats disappearing and you can’t register with their name, but someone else doing what they did, would mean that everyone would need to update their filters, because “I said the first time, that I don’t care about your weekend, Carl!”
This is too much of a minefield to wade into, but I suppose if you’re on blahaj and disagree, transfer your subs to a new instance that federates with both, and you won’t notice the difference from before.
I would like to hear more from Blahaj users, because for the most part, this thread has been listening to NSFW complain about the defedding, and expressing outrage, speculation and judgement about the defedding, from users who are ultimately unaffected by this defedding. I want to know if this is something their users agree with or not, from the users themselves.
Also, Blahaj isn't the only major instance to defed NSFW, but because of the nature of their sub, they seem to get the most attention over it.
I mean, I guess you could be ok with it if you’re a pedo. Shit like this caused massive controversy for Reddit in the beginning, and it only leads to others with worse outlooks feeling safe here. I don’t know if you were around on Reddit during the r/thedonald period but that sub bred nothing but hate that quickly found a home to radicalize on the platform. Same went with Jailbait. It spawned spacedicks and other horrendous subs.
Also, as an instance dedicated to LGBT+ what if another instance was dedicated to hatred towards LGBT+? Should Blahaj continue to federate with them? What if I open a community dedicated to “communicating about how to kill a certain group?” It’s not illegal. Freedom of speech is important after all, but maybe at some point people stop just talking about something and start acting.
While the slippery slope argument can be applied to anything at the end of the day it’s really down to something super simple. This is one instance choosing to defederate from another. That’s their choice.
I’ve subscribed to a plethora of communities that really interest me and actually have posts and discussions in them, but I have to go to the specific community to see this. My “Subscribed” feed only contains a few of the same posts that I’ve seen for weeks in Hot, the same posts from even longer ago in “Active”,...
You’re doing Lemmy wrong, and it’s not your fault. People keep saying “instance doesn’t matter” - sure, you can interact with anything all over the main lemmyverse, but the best experience is to find a home server with a community that feels right. Subscriptions and the sorting will get there, but right now ALL (or maybe even local) is a way better experience
Here’s the servers I checked out:
Lemmy.world
What I signed up on. The most people, the most content, civil community. Moderation is there, but you mostly feel it by the sense of civility. They keep getting targeted and they’re experiencing a lot of hiccups, but they’re the biggest source of content right now. Feels to me at this point
(Sh.itjust.works)[sh.itjust.works/signup] About as close as you can get to freedom of speech while keeping out the aggressive bigots. I think one of their rules is along the lines of you can drop n-bombs or argue for whatever you want, but not use slurs against actual people. That says a lot… But they’re great for shitposts and are experimenting with democracy at !agora
(Beehaw.org)[beehaw.org/signup] I’d describe it as a safe space. Heavy moderation and curation of content. Those kinds of places feel uncomfortable and tense to me so I find it hard to give it a fair review. Not my thing, but they claim to be closest to Reddit… I’d give lemmy.world that title, but it was a big site and I was constantly searching out the medium sized subs.
(Lemmy.nsfw)[Lemmynsfw.com/signup] A stable server that will show you plenty of sfw content, and the community is welcoming. And of course, there’s the obvious…
(Blahaj.zone)[lemmy.blahaj.zone/signup] The flip side of why I go to sh.itjust.works, lots of queer shitposts. I like the memes, I like the people, not so sure about the admin… She’s been stirring up a lot of drama the last few days. Maybe there’s more to it, I’ve mostly just seen her posts that look a bit power-trippy from a distance. I’ve also been waiting for that to happen to see how we as a community handle it, so
(pawbs.social)[pawbs.social/signup] This is my main home server now. A while back I came to realize furries are always big early adopters of every new tech, they’re super welcoming, and they don’t care if you’re not a furry so long as you don’t care that they are. I like the art anyways so it doesn’t bother me. A lot of tech stuff too. They are most definitely furries though, and you’ll see OwOs and all that comes with that. They’re very chill, until someone isn’t, so if you can’t handle that you’re going to have a bad time
(Lemmy.ml)[Lemmy.ml/signup] The original devs instance. They’re going through some stuff with their domain and definitely anticapitalist, but after digging for evidence and talking to them they’re far from extremists, but the constant stream of people heading over to there to pick a fight, the site was on edge when I went there a few weeks ago. A good place if you’re into good faith debate on economic and governmental systems
lemmygrad.ml was a more extreme version (literally someone came in to start a fight in every thread i saw) they’re understandably pretty wary. Their ideas are out there, but they’re definitely not pro genocide and don’t worship Stalin (at least as a whole).
Lemmy.ml I wouldn’t pick until they get their domain issue shaken out, but I included them because after an afternoon trying to get to the bottom of it (the only proof of anything I found was a mastodon post about someone very vague about what was said and ending with “unfortunately the conversation was deleted”), so it seems to me they’ve been getting misrepresented. I’m very open to more concrete details though
(Dbzer0.com)[lemmy.dbzer0.com/signup] They sail the high seas. Less content, but what was there was pretty interesting if you’re into tech, security, or digital rights
Those are the sites I remember off the top of my head after exploring around, there’s >2k instances (although about 100 were populated by users when I went through the data dump a few weeks back)
If you’re on Android, I’m doing bug fixes before launching my app very soon, and iPhone build is coming once I can get one to test on. I pushed back the launch to pack on features, I’ve got keyword filtering, you can explore servers without changing accounts, it saves your place, hides read posts, it offers URL replacement (I accidentally went to Twitter for possibly the last time today and YouTube yesterday, the logo change was worth it but nitter is less jarring).
You can interact with Lemmy links, collapse comments, post with a control bar that doesn’t float around, save drafts, and it’s all in a dark material-design style (but with way less cards). There’s still a lot to be done, but after bug fixes and optimization v2 will be focused around combing feeds and accounts to get just the right mix. Eventually I’ve got eyes on pixelfed and maybe even things like friendica - the beauty of the fediverse is how amazing a foundation it is to build on
For today, there’s still occasional bugs and jank, but at this point I can say it’s pretty stable when the servers cooperate. I’ll be covering for more and more of it through the client as time goes on, but for the last 2 weeks I’ve been using it exclusively. My friend convinced me I need to wrap it up and put it out there and get feedback, so
Check out !flemmy if you’re interested, I just posted some screenshots (it will get prettier, but hopefully it’s good enough to not be distracting)
The more transgender related posts are mostly because 196 a very large queer and especially trans friendly subreddit closed permanently and migrated wholesale to a instance called blahajzone. If you look at r/place right now you can tell the absence of 196 by the fact there are very few queer symbols on r/place compared to last year where 196 and associated subs had coordinated artworks and defense campaigns for their flags. I’m pretty sure last time they managed to take over the American flag and force it to move to another spot on the canvas. Now there are two small flags and nothing else.
I’m in the post-ban blackpilled mode right no so please forgive me. I know reddit is falling apart but it isn’t happening fast enough. Is there any hope that the whole site will be destroyed? I really just want the whole site / app completely destroyed and thew Vichyite mods unable to have their power trips anymore.
I'm more satisfied with my experience here personally. I don't scroll for hours, I read a couple articles, maybe comment on them and move on. If I come across something interesting that isn't already posted in my community here, I'll actually post it because it might actually get some engagement.
One reddit, my post would either be removed by overzealous mods or generally ignored. I had one instance where I posted a question on r/askScience. I searched before I posted but couldn't find a post that asked the same question. A mod removed it saying that it was too similar to other posts. When I asked which post it was similar to, the mod said "You need to search for yourself, we aren't librarians" then muted me for 10 days so I couldn't respond. The sheer ego trip of the matter just appalled me. I thought that a community about scientific inquiry would be a bit more open, but nope - just as toxic as every other sub.
Just looking at the current number of lemmy.world subscribers (115k) , lemmy is very, very far from where it needs to be for long term success as a real alternative to other social media sites. There are literally hundreds of subreddits on Reddit that have more subscribers than all of lemmy.world, which is the largest instance. So far the only place I’ve ever seen lemmy mentioned is on Reddit, and even then only in certain subs like r/CenturyClub, which isn’t even public. I think the key to getting new suscribers is for people on twitter, instagram and facebook to start mentioning lemmy on a regular basis and using clickable lemmy links in their posts.
@nebulaone is a Lemmy.World user & asked the question on a Lemmy.World community, I assume the question was directly asking if they'd be allowed to create the community on Lemmy.World.
In the .World code of conduct, the only things that I can see that might be problematic are:
Bullies, trolls and disruptors are not welcome in Mastodon.world. We will moderate accordingly.
Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people.
Since the concept of the sub as a whole seems like the above is kind of the entire point point, I think the rules bear mentioning, but as long as it's not directly talking about specific people in the Fediverse, I think they'd be ok based on the written spirit of the rules, as long as proper moderating is done within the community.
Worst case, OP would just need to find a new instance [as thread OP indicated] or spin up their own server.
ETA: Sorry that you deleted your comment! I don't think it really applied in this situation, but the info in there was still good!
65% of Americans support tech companies moderating false information online and 55% support the U.S. government taking these steps. These shares have increased since 2018. Americans are even more supportive of tech companies (71%) and the U.S. government (60%) restricting extremely violent content online.
No single body can wield this power, and therefore multiple should.
/pol/ self-censors through slides and sages, and even maintains at least some level of toxicity just to dissuade outsiders from browsing or posting - you could call it preventative censorship.
Fortunately, we don’t have to go there. We have the choice to coexist on Beehaw instead.
Even on reddit, different subs could have different moderation policies, and so if you didn’t like ex. Cyberpunk, you could go to lowsodium_cyberpunk.
Freedom to choose communities allows multiple diverse communities to form, and I think that’s the key - that there are many communities.
When the scope of truth arbitration moves from lemmy instances to the us gov, the only alternative choice for any who disagree would be to go to another country.
The beauty of the internet is that there are no countries. Any website could be anywhere - there are hundreds of thousands of choices, from twitter hashtags to irc rooms.
I do not want one hegemony of information. I do not want 5, or one for each nato member. I want as many as possible, so I may find one (or more!) that I like.

As for lemmy. There is a lot to parse. It involves supporting tiananmen square massacre. Being kicked out of Reddit’s r/socialism for being too much for them in a militant way. That sub has pointed to many instances of support for genocide, how Russia is better off with Putin and how they’re defending their countries by killing any dissent. They’re known as tankies for their pro-tiananmen stance and how that saved China as a country.
Many defenders of lemmy say if that bothers you, just avoid their original instance or ones influenced/administered by them; but that both requires you to be aware of everything about them and all the lemmy instances,and it requires you to know that the instance you join has no further development by the creators of lemmy. Who updates the code? Who is the developer of this instance, and do they accept further stuff from the originators of this part of fedi.
They just have their own instance and are defederated by some but not all, which is the best solution as it means they stick to their part of the fediverse instead of hijacking subs that weren’t right leaning in the first place.
Perhaps you could consider forks, stars, and followers as “votes” and sort each sub category based on the votes.
it’s easier for readers of the list to quickly find the “most used” options.
This would exclude (or move to the bottom of the list) all projects that are not hosted on these (mostly proprietary) platforms. Right now only metadata from Github is being parsed, in the future it will expand to Gitlab, maybe Gitea instances or similar, but it will take time and not all platforms have these stars/followers/forks features. This would also induce a huge bias as Github projects will have a lot more forks/followers/… than projects hosted on independent forges. Star counts can also (and absolutely are) manipulated by some projects that want to get “trending”.
Also popularity != quality. A project whose code is hosted on cgit can be as good or even better than a project on Github (even more in the context of self-hosting…).
Just an idea off the top of my head. You may have already thought about it, and/or it may be full of holes.
It was a good idea :) But as you can see, it has its flaws.
i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
I got a “who asked” amongst more productive banter this morning and I actually laughed and said “thank god, people can talk without a filter”.
I’m okay with some stuff being toxic. Reddits moderation rules were so restricting that you couldn’t have a genuine conversation or sometimes just post something that was clearly originally intended to be posted to a sub; moderation was too tight.
Freedom of speech shouldn’t be inconvenienced by a fedora wearing subreddit mod. And if one Lemmy instance does, there’s others you can enjoy!
I have an account on kbin. Recently I saw a post across my feed in which a magazine that I follow (that's based on a Lemmy instance) was celebrating over 1k subscribers. When I visited, I saw only 240 or so....
Interaction among platforms is hard I think because they each operate with different actions and elements. But even within platforms can be buggy for me, or possibly I just stumble upon restricted access, not sure. But some profiles on mastodon instances will show zero or limited content, when I know there’s more there. For example I don’t see many toots from .ie on my .social account for some reason. And some Lemmy subs will show zero or limited posts when I search them in the same way. The good thing is that this stuff seems to be being worked on constantly with all of the attention it’s gotten recently.
Me too. I’ve now migrated to feddit.uk , I was lucky that I had locally cached pages for my subscriptions so I was able to replicate them, all be it manually, but at least i now have a new instance with all my subs.
You have to remember that until recently, there was sub 100 daily users, this wasn’t a big platform, and it wasn’t just lemmy.ml, but a bunch of <10 user instances.
It wasn’t worth paying for a small side project until it wasn’t and at that point it was too late, plus who would have predicted that the gov of Mali would forcefully take back all of their domains?
Serve browse traffic: This is what you’re familiar with, when you view your post feed or a single post, the server has to fetch those posts or comments from its database and send them to you. The resources required to do so depend on the total number of browse requests the server handles… roughly num_users * num_feed_refreshes_or_post_views_per_user_per_minute. If a server has a lot of users that view a lot of stuff, splitting some of them off to a second server (or just stopping signups) will help.
Federated replication: This is what copies posts and comments from the server that hosts the community to the server that hosts your account, and what enables your account server to bear the browse load for communities hosted on this server. The resources required to do this work are roughly proportional to the total number of federation messages sent, or number_of_federated_peer_serverd * number_of_subscribed_communities_per_server * number_of_posts_comments_votes_edits_etc_per_community.
What you may see here is that federation replication workload scales with the number of instances in the threadiverse and browse workload scales with the number of users per instance. This leads to a goldilocks problem. Ideally, you want a medium number of servers that each have a medium number of subscribers. Obviously no real world network scales in this ideal way, but some guidelines emerge:
Single user instances are probably only a net win if the user is very active. If you read every post your instance subscribes to then maybe your browse load is bigger than your instance’s federation load… but if you log in once a month and view 1% of the posts replicated to your instance… it’s still generating federation workload while you’re asleep for posts you’ll never read.
Single-user instances using scripts that mass subscribe to thousands of communities, while they make your all feed lively… make you a pretty terrible fediverse citizen. Your instance is now generating the federation load of a 5k user instance to copy posts and comments you’ll never read. BTW, your instance publicly serves copies of all the posts you subscribe to. So if one of these scripts subs porn, piracy, or hate speech communities on poorly admin’ed instances, it may be creating legal liability for you depending on your jurisdiction. Also, federated replication is pretty broky right now: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3101 (this recently got marked resolved but I continue to see replication issues daily and I expect similar but perhaps more targeted follow ups.to be filed soon)
Having an account on a Very Big Instance like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml is a bit of a personal risk. Those instances will always find the limits of both browse and federation scaling first because they have lots of active users and also lots of active communities that are widely subscribed by other instances. This will make them a bit unreliable as they’re at the tip of the efforts to fix scaling constraints.
How do I make the politics and news subs go away? It’s all ridiculously biased to the lib side and I’m as centrist/moderate as a human can possibly be, and don’t want “news” from a polar source (and this joint definitely is)....
There’s three feeds: ‘Subscribed’, ‘Local’ and ‘All’.
Subscribed is subs you’ve specifically subscribed to.
Local is subs hosted on the instance you’re using.
All is every damn thing.
You can manually block subs from All, one at a time.
You can manually add subs to Subcribed, one at a time.
Or you can try to find an instance that mostly hosts the kind of thing you want to see, and rely on its ‘local’ feed as your filter.
Because that’s what makes the fediverse different: anyone can make a lemmy server, and they can run it however they want. You want a lemmy for flat earthers, antivaxers, preppers, or young-earth creationists, you can go build one and hook it up to all the others. You can set whatever moderation and content policies you want on the thing, and that’s absolutely fine.
However, other lemmy servers aren’t obliged to communicate with your one. If they don’t like your server, they can ‘defederate’ from it, and refuse to import your content.
It’s a group chat for group-chats; you get separate cliques forming.
For instance, beehaw defederated from a huge chunk of lemmy servers when the reddit shitfire started; they wanted to keep their own vibe, and not have their communities overrun with a giant flood of bots and trolls and maga types. They’re lefty as fuck over there, and they want to keep it that way.
And just recently, lemmy.world (and a bunch of others) defederated from exploding-heads, which was pretty much nothing but trolls and magas and racist fucks.
So it’s possible that you can find a single server with a ‘moderate centrism’ spin and policy to suit, where you’ll only see centrist-friendly subs hosted locally - and that may defederate other servers that are just too lefty for its users. Browse the other communities out there, read their policies, scroll through their local subs. If you find somewhere that works for you, bingo.
But honestly, you may not have a lot of luck. Lemmy started out with a bunch of green-lefty-progressive types, and that still defines a lot of its culture. Lemmy.ml is home to many of the largest communities out there, and though it may not be lefty as fuck, it’s still lefty as heck. The lack of a top-down power structure tends to piss off the right wing, if nothing else. You may find a home for your views, but you’re likely to discover that it has like 3 people on it, so… wooo yeah, party.
If even lemmy.world is too lefty for you, I suspect this may not be your ideal platform.
move to an instance where the users aren't signed up to those communities (remember All is not the whole fediverse, All is just the content that is local to that instance plus that users on your instance have subbed to. On a big instance you will see a lot in all)
block individual communities or entire instances. I have been blocking the numerous meme communities for example which tidies up my All feed, but it is tedious as there are so many
browse Lemmy or Kbin using Subbed instead of All or Local views. On kbin you can do that by going to /sub, clicking the link on the toolbar or setting it as your default view.
create your own personal instance of lemmy or kbin and only sign up for content you want on that aerver. You can browse new communities to join via other instances then add it to your instance.
When I was at The Bad Place I had a sub just for me to post on… anyone could read and comment, but only I could make a post. I used it kind of like a notebook, nothing personal like a diary. A fix I made for Gratuitous Space Battles crashing, a can opener I really liked, a commentary on when Reddit hired a pedophile and tried...
One thing I’m not clear about is the impact my home instance has on me. I joined lemmy.world and am currently using the connect for lemmy app. I know when I sort by Local it will only show me posts from lemmy.world, but beyond that are there any things to keep in mind?...
I appreciate the explanation, and I understand exactly what you’re saying. My confusion though is that it doesn’t match what I’m seeing. I’m using the Voyager web app if that makes a difference.
An example: I can see posts and comments at [email protected] from lemmy.world. So I don’t see a wasteland. I just see a smaller number of and different posts, compared to looking at the same sub from beehaw.org. It’s the same place, looking at the sidebar. Just that different content appears to be available depending on the home location gaming viewed from.
Could it be that what I’m seeing from lemmy.world are just the crossposts (if such a thing exists here)? And perhaps comments from non-beehaw.org users? That’s why it’s not total empty, just reduced?
Also: when an instance defederates, is that from everywhere or just selected instances? For example, what you’re saying is that beehaw is blocking lemmy.world but not other smaller instances. And so I should sign up at a smaller non-blocked instance which will then see everything …?

Still yet another article listing Reddit alternatives, but surprisingly this one mentions both Lemmy & Kbin (kbin.social)
https://beebom.com/reddit-alternatives/...
I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.
