The Fediverse is huge and overwhelming to a newcomer, with many different types and each with servers to pick from. Which ones would you suggest checking out or avoiding?
Anyone know why the recent spike? That’s not negligible.
https://lemmy.world/post/43035743/22099833 Apparently old forum software was updated to use the federation and all the old users got tallied up and added. Also people flocking from Reddit and X too.
Thanks
Even for things we’re excited about, truncating the y-axis is never okay 😕

Why did you block . world if they’ve been treating you all right?
I’m sincerely curious for a few reasons
first of all .world is the only instance that would let me in after I tried multiple times joining numerous other instances that would just buffer forever when I was trying to register and they never sent me confirmation emails, .world was the only one that would let me in.
But now when I make posts and comments in .world communities, moderators have been removing my posts & comments, they say because I belong to.world 🤯
Please make this make sense.
And look, here we are in a .world community. Let’s see how long the moderators let this comment of mine remain 🙄

Blahaj.zone we’re chill AF here
I don’t like that you can’t downvote, though.
OHHH THAT’S why Voyager gives me an error.
Sigh, these are the things rhat might drive people away from Lemmy and Piefed. Lemmy devs are tankies, Piefed devs are weirdly puritanical, and instances won’t tell you they don’t allow downvotes.
Exactly. I look at downvotes on articles as a kind of fact curator. If an article has 50/50, you know it’s gotta be wrong.
Discussion of an article’s accuracy is what the comments are for; downvotes are a pretty bad indicator of this as they’re largely used to indicate agreement with the post’s title (which may include disagreeing with it’s accuracy, message, vibe, spelling, etc.)
Ah, well that would explain why Voyager kept giving errors every time I tried
!main@sh.itjust.works they are very new-user friendly, diaspora: idfk its dead, mastodon: official instance, peertube: peertube.wtf with official app to do federation stuff
Second for sh.itjust.works
I picked this server cause the name was funny and it was large enough that I expected not to run into small-server problems.
I stayed because I have not run into any small-server problems and our admin is a very cool guy.
peertube: peertube.wtf with official app to do federation stuff
I assume you can login into it via GrayJay as well
never used grayjay to begin with, used different apps for different fediverse stuff
I was wondering why we suddenly had so many astroturfers, shills and bots creeping in and fucking up all the conversations. It used to just be dumb but earnest tankies, now we got all kinds up in this bitch.
Corpo trash can’t stand wrongthink
Liked the name.
+1 for Hexbear, check it out if .world is too liberal for you. This place really feels like reddit, but somehow even more Dem apologist

Hexbear, pretty chill community that is overtly pro-LGBTQ and inclusive of all kinds of leftists.

Rude and uncalled for
If I wanted to argue with tankies I’d just go back to Twitter
Rude
