Lemmy.world is now the biggest Lemmy instance! ( lemmy.world )
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
Trackers like Lemmyverse.net and Fediverse Explorer are incentivizing instance owners to inflate numbers with bots ( lemmy.world )
The vast majority of the instances in that screenshot have known jumps from 1~50 users to tens of thousands in less than a day. These instances also happen to not require a captcha on sign up....
Are these numbers really true? ( lemmy.ml )
Is this Total User Counter true? It seems kind of wrong because the Graph is only at 300k and i cannot imagine that we grew 200k people in the last 4 hours....

Staked deposit to ensure good behaviour
EDIT: I know many people have a knee-jerk aversion to anything crypto, but this is not a scheme to make money. I would be happy to see this done with fiat as well, but IMO this is much easier to do with smart contracts....
Tumblr on the Fediverse, what happened to that?
With the current reddit migration happening I’ve remembered when Tumblr promised they were gonna add support for ActivityPub “ASAP”....
Reddit is doing the Fediverse a huge favor ( mas.to )
While I don’t expect there’s going to be any meaningful impact on Reddit once the dust settles, I do think this will bring a lot of new users to the Fediverse....
What are the hardware rrequirements for a Lemmy instance?
Hi! I have a 2 cores/2 GB VPS with very light use, right now....
Lemmy is a pretty cool platform. But I think we need to consider how to make cross-instance community federation more user friendly and accessible. ( kbin.social )
Hello, Lemmyverse. I'm posting from kbin and crossing my fingers it'll federate properly....
TIL that in the docs there is a detailed explanation for how federation and search works in Lemmy ( join-lemmy.org )

Here's why more people won't switch to Lemmy.
I told somebody I know who knew about Reddit’s API changes about Lemmy. He has a master’s degree in Computer Science and works as a software engineer. But then, he told me that it’s too confusing to get into, even for someone like him. This is great feedback and I hope that these issues will be fixed in the coming months....
Are all these thousands of servers useless?
Correct me if I’m wrong. I read ActivityPub standards and dug a little into lemmy sources to understand how federation works. And I’m a bit disappointed. Every server just has a cache andthe ability to fetch something from another known server. So if you start your own instance, there is no profit for the whole network until...
Fighting against anti-lemmy misinformation on reddit ( old.reddit.com )
Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.
is there a fediverse imgur?
for the longest time a lot of images posted to reddit were really posted on imgur (until they started hosting it on their own, too). is there a fediverse’d imgur we should be using to complement lemmy? its docs say it shouldn’t be used for large images and videos....
Massive centralization is helping Fediverse
A bit paradoxal but it looks that all central platform (twitter, reddit, facebook…) are helping the spread of Fediverse. Recently we saw the impact with Twitter on Mastodon, myself I’ve discovered Lemmy even if I wasn’t a reddit user. And before that Facebook first spread friendica and diaspora. It looks next step will be...
