Its kind of hard to say because I don’t think X is giving out reliable numbers about their own monthly active users, so. …

Awesome! Themed instances are so important for the Fediverse. I wish you all the best :)

What aren’t they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?

Yes, and if called out, they say it happens for freedom of speech, which is absurd given that the richest man on earth provides the infrastructure and has a large presence on the platform himself.

There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.

For real. There’s a significant number of downvotes on this article even. What the hell?

As if. People disagreeing with you is not harassement. I guess almost no one want you to stop not eating meat.

I’m happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!

Amen to that

I’m pretty sure most just don’t know about us or don’t care

Interesting! Is there a video of the event?

Blusky has 13 millions registered users but what about their monthly active users?

Damn

Mods are assholes is interesting, because its similar (but not the same as) all cops are bastards. Sure, a place where you dont need cops sounds great, but it also smells a lot like mass survailance or total anarchism (Mass survailance is walled garden internet and total anarchism is the fedi-pact).

Thats an interesting dynamic, which also influences the choice of instance: which instance gives my posts the most initial boost.

This also results in a soft network network effect between different fedi servers: servers with a lot of reach attract a lot of people because they have a lot of reach. Its necessary that the biggest instance implements counter measures here. Lemmy.world does that by selecting the all-feed as default in the UI. Threads doesnt.

Glad you like it :)

The article goes in a direction I like: plurality and to allow different communities to develop alongside each other is great. However, I still think we should push for establishing universal human rights. I’m not a fan of moral realitivism. I think every community should be able to get onto the Fediverse, but we don’t need to applaud every community to do so, and can also take actions against communities that do bad things (e.g. by defederating).

I would recommend “The Dawn of Everything” by David Graber and David Wengrow, which shows how humans managed to live in different forms of community already throughout history. Maybe in the Fediverse, this could become more easy on the internet, too.

My Harry Potter instance is doing okay, so yeah … Harry Potter fandom is slowly growing in the Fediverse. A thing that a year ago I thought wouldn’t be possible in the Fediverse. Seems really like there is enough room in the Fediverse to let different communities co-exists along with each other even if they don’t agree on many things

I think multi-communities (which have already been improved for funding) will push Lemmy forward big time. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

After brooding for days, I finally came up with a witty reply: LÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖPS

Problem: even with discovery, if your friends are on Threads or X, you still won’t find them on Mastodon. But its a step in the right direction.

On 0.19.3, you can:

• Limit the file upload size for local users through nginx configuration
• Disable incoming federated images through Lemmy configuration: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/config/defaults.hjson#L49 (set this to false)

Additional: On https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/nginx.conf, there is an option “client_max_body_size” that you can set to 0.
