Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.
But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.
Give me that hopium guys! 💉
as long as you can still subscribe to those communities on other instances it doesn’t matter.
That’s a good thing. Keep the fediverae alive without overemcumbering servers. That’s what’s so strong about it, we can keep growing without too much costs.
I’m really grooving on multiple instances. I like that Beehaw and kbin offer meaningfully different audiences and experiences.
How would you describe their differences? I’m always curious to see what people think about the different instances.
beehaw.org is a lemmy instance explicitly chartered as encouraging politeness and diversity. They are also tightly curating the locally hosted communities – none of these thousands of copies for subreddits, just a couple of pages of very carefully chosen communities. But, for all that, traffic seems pretty high.
kbin.social (and other kbins) are not Lemmy, they are a competing code base that uses ActivityPub in a way that is mostly compatible with Lemmy and can federate with other Lemmy instances. kbin has no externally facing API, so there are no third party apps that will work with it (and so far, no prospects for them at all). It’s pretty similar to lemmy.world, but maybe quieter, and with a more technical user base. Arguably the web site works better, as the code is a bit more stable.
lemmy.ml is most similar to lemmy.world, it also seems to have a more technical user base. Has a lot of Linux and FOSS-related communities on it.
lemmy.world you know about :-)
UItimately, you can get to most communities through your lemmy.world account, as lemmy.world is federated with the others. But I do find myself logging in directly sometimes to get the best experience.
Did you just call it the “Threadiverse”?? dafuq?
Probably because lemmy.world stops working with half the apps every other day. Some days I can only use it with Thunder, other times only Jeroba, other days it works with every app except Liftoff. There’s just no predictable pattern to it and I’ve found myself just avoiding lemmy.world lately because I don’t want to type out a 3 paragraph comment just to find that my app isn’t logging in to lemmy.world today.
heh, would you look at that. It won’t let me post this comment on Jeroba so I had to log in with a browser. This is fuckin bullshit. I’m going back to sh.itjustworks until this gets fixed.
Other than being signed out twice I haven’t had any issues using wefwef
I’m not using lemmy as much because theres no RES
This instance took a “wait and see” stance to Meta. It lost a lot of subreddit modteams when it did, who are now pushing their userbases to the comms they’ve made in other lemmys by putting up links and sticky posts in their old subreddits.
I have several subreddits where our teams argued internally about it, we were mostly in support of coming here until the instance was soft on Meta.
Ironic that “subreddit modteams” are anti meta when they’ve been pro reddit for the last decade.
I mean, not my subs since I’m a communist. Being on the platform doesn’t mean liking it. You have to be where people are though if you want to do anything to help spread your ideology or fight libs. It’s a matter of treating reddit as a theatre of operations for us, much like our presence on twitter remains so. But yeah you’re right about the majority of moderators.
I just signed up for a more local instance, but I’ve been looking for an easier way to swap over my subscriptions
I made a tool to do this: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Also handles blocks and profile settings.
FYI if you are on a very small instance you may need to run it twice because of: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/issues/13
I made an alt on a smaller instance when all the trouble with lemmy.world was happening, and I was thinking of making the alt my main, but I’m too lazy to port all my subscribed communities over, so this is still where I’m gonna be. I still browse from my alt sometimes, because the feeds are different.
Also gonna throw my option out there: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Handles blocks, subscriptions, and profile settings.
Threadiverse
Begone
You begone noob, it’s been called that since before threads.
noob
I’ll take it. It’s not like I’m trying to pretend otherwise.
it’s been called that since before threads.
Well, to be fair that’s quite a coincidence.
It’s not a coincidence. Threads are a forum thing. This is a thread.
It’s not a coincidence
Yes, it is. The coincidence is in the OP mentioning Threadiverse as if it’s a common term and my misunderstanding by thinking that they’re taking “Threads” and “Fediverse” and blending them together, thinking Meta coined it.
Threads are a forum thing. This is a thread.
No shit - hence why Threads had its name in the first place.
You can downvote me all you want; it won’t make a difference.
In a lot of ways, I’m happy to hear this. A lot of communities will thrive without the intervention of a central power.
Some communities will become toxic, and it will be up to the individual to figure out whether that’s for them or not- but at least they have a choice.
/r/fatpeoplehate inspired me to lose 135 LB. It wasn’t a bad subreddit.
Granted /r/coonworld /r/chimpout we’re both…Jesus Christ… but at least even the most vile of people had a voice.
