The need for a Fedi Union.

tl;dr I propose a Fedi Union consisting of the developers of Phanpy, Pixelfed, Peertube, Lemmy, and PieFed. That will work as a way to fund all of the services collectively (with the option to still go to their individual patreons and fund them seperately) and as a way for them to communicate to help all the services be more...

Defederate Threads. There is no way the Fediverse communities survive a 100 million users platform joining.

Lemmy is 50k monthly active users

@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

Stable, around 50k monthly active users

!lemmygrow could be a nice idea to help people find smaller communities (memes, tech, news and politics are easy to find, the rest not so much)

Reddit continues to mess up, so we can expect more people as the Reddit experience gets worse and Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed/Sublinks improve

Strong agree

We juste moved our community to !casualconversation hopefully others will do the same

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

As the platform currently stands, we have a bit of a “chicken or egg” problem. Too many users browsing by /all can stifle the growth of niche communities, and the lack of niche communities can induce users to browse by /all. I’m not sure the best way to fix this, other than to hope that niche communities manage to grow despite uninclusive behaviour.

Promotion of communities to !newcommunities and !communitypromo, and promotion of those communities to the wider audience

Interesting, thanks

Quick video demonstrating that lemmy.world sends every activity out twice (i.imgur.com)

I realise this is a known issue and that lemmy.world isn’t the only instance that does this. Also, I’m aware that there are other things affecting federation. But I’m seeing some things not federate, and can’t help thinking that things would be going smoother if all the output from the biggest lemmy instance wasn’t 50%...

Thanks for sharing !

Regarding sublinks and feeling concerned about what is going on with it (lemmy.world)

Right now, I’m feeling concerned and wondering what is going on in regards to Sublinks here, since I have created a community for discussion on koalas about a week ago on here and have started and been doing work on it recently. But now I’m hearing about Sublinks and feeling concerned if I created it on the wrong instance or...

Here is your community viewed from Mbin: kbin.run/m/[email protected]

As you can see, posts are there, it’s possible to comment as well.

It will be the same for Sublinks

Thank you for your valuable comment.

I believe there are some others in other languages.

There is Mbin in PHP!

Nice comment, have a good one

Good luck with this one!

Don’t lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works have a very low number of defederations?

Upvoting for visibility, even if I have no idea what soul seek is

With discord planning to show ads, how can the fediverse/lemmy benefit from another proprietary program making itself worse? (Like it was with reddit)

Do you think that the fediverse has something to gain with the enshitfication of discord? Are there voice chat programs in the fediverse that can benefit from it?

@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

I opened Discord yesterday, seems like now they even have lootboxes, what the heck

You know what, they just seem so pushy lately about Nitro and stuff that I didn’t even get the joke

Good to see Lemmy compatibility!

@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

Yes: mastodon.social/

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

you can’t bring those people over if they never see posts or content from the Fediverse

It’s still possible. Reddit didn’t became popular because it federated with Digg.

When Lemmy will become the reference for human provided answers, people will join. How fast it will happen depends on how bad the experience on Reddit becomes.

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

Mastodon has groups similar to Lemmy communities, Threads could definitely implement them too.

@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

Glitch Edition

TIL about this, thanks. I had a look, but I’m a bit confused. Is it enabled for everyone on mastodon.social, or is it a setting people can activate?

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

Nice one! We should probably add a link to the sidebar of !languagelearning

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

some instances had SSO for both Mastodon and Lemmy so you could do both ways of communication.

So Mbin?

@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

A few suggestions

And this list (post the link in the search to get it on your instance)

Improve Instance representation on the join-lemmy.org website

After having spent some time on Lemmy and learning of the intricacies of the different Lemmy instances, I think the landing page for the Lemmyverse could do with some streamlining. I remember that back when I joined, the only information I used to decide on an instance to join was the user count, the signup policy and the...

Hello, thank you for your comment!

I agree with most of it, except the following.

In other words, even if you’re super interested in french cinema, there is no need to centralize all users interested in this topic on a single french cinema instance.

The local feed is still important for people to discover new communities. There is a reason most of the French speakers on Lemmy are on Jlai.lu, it’s because it allows them to find other French speaking communities more easily. I say this for French, but literature.cafe is the same for books, and programming.dev for programming.

Otherwise, the local feed is wasted, and with the issues we currently have with discoverability of communities, it definitely helps.

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

For example, if you’re a user who is ONLY interested in french cinema (or any specific topic) on Lemmy, and all of the related communities and other invested users are on a single instance, then for you, the experience is absolutely no different from any centralized platform - the french cinema instance admins have 100% control over your Lemmy experience.

It’s interesting, because it happened in the past, but more instance shutdown than power trip: lemmy.film went down, so the community moved to !movies. Actually, I say that, but you are well aware ha ha

There is probably a balance between how much a community needs to be centralized for it to be livable, and how much decentralization we want to keep admins/mods from power tripping.

I’m a bit jealous of the Star Trek community, seems like they are so many that they can afford to create new communities every few months.

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

Yes, the list is a bit strange. I might create another one next week if I have some time

Does Reddit shadowban mentions of Lemmy?

In the months since I deleted my Reddit accounts and joined Lemmy, the lack of user base growth has made it clear that we need some users to stay on Reddit as a means of shepherding more users over on an ongoing basis. Otherwise, Reddit simply got what it wanted: less users who make a fuss about how it manages its platform...

Feel free to cross post to !askandroid , you might get other suggestions there

Suscriptions and block liste are transferred in two clicks via the settings. For jour history just mention the other account in jour bio.

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

Agree. I moved to an instance without downvotes for this reason.

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

To be fair, for most people it is better to just use a another instance. Instance maintenance can take quite some time

Blaze ,

Reddit IPO thing?

Planned for this week

Blaze ,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

The issue is not about the implementation, but the filter: which criteria do you use to select instances that are eligible for the pool of instances? I’m genuinely asking because I think it takes some time to have a look on instances for people to make the best choice.
