I heard it will be on the Fediverse. Is it true? I heard it had 30 millions users registered on the first day. Wtf. The whole Fediverse doesn’t even have 10 millions users. I heard it will not be available in Europe, yet. I visited www.threads.net and I don’t know if it’ll be the Threads instance to the Fediverse....
One of the things that sets Lemmy, and the collective fediverse apart from other platforms is its community. Recently, there’s been a large influx of new users (myself included; thus I apologize if this is not the right location for this post). A toxic trait associated with other platforms is the incorrect use of the downvote....
From what I understand, Threads will be joining the fediverse, and Bluesky is going to be federated. Will I eventually be able to access both from my Lemmy instance? I’m also still trying to wrap my head around the whole concept so I’m not even sure if I’m asking my question correctly
Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I’m not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.
It’s so funny seeing a large group (almost all) of the people in my feed being so excited about this new social media thing that they managed to get in through invitation on Instagram....
Within 5 minutes of usage my pihole instance blocked 100s of request and DDG app protection blocked facebook trackers. This should be illegal...
To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had...
Discussion topic for you all, I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on this!...
My hot take on Threads after one night.
Since Bluesky reopened for signups, does anyone have any invite codes? If so, feel free to DM me. I want to get out of Twitter.
I'm pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?
Anyone well known who wants to speak out about what’s been happening on reddit? Louis Rossmann? Apollo dev? John Oliver (one can dream)… or maybe former Reddit mods who were kicked out?...
A lot of people dislike it for the privacy nightmare that it is and feel the threat of an EEE attack. This will also probably not be the last time that a big corporation will insert itself in the Fediverse....
The US state of Louisiana requires social media companies to get parental permission for users under 16.

Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post....
The Fediverse as it stands now is super ambitious, prospering, and honestly really exciting to see and be a part of....
It feels like they’re two different roles. It might be better to have user-orientated servers that prioritise federation of content and only have a couple of meta-style communities, and other servers which prioritise being the go-to place for discussion on a particular topic and less a place that manages a large number of user...
A lot of us come from reddit, so we’re naturally inclined to want a reddit-like platform. However, it occurred to me that the reddit format makes little sense for the fediverse....
I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as...
Hey, I don’t know how the rest of you community mods are doing this....
I’m testing if people can see my instance. Reply with your instance.
