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:
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.
Where can I find that option? Is it during instance-setup?
Well, both. I want to grow my instance a bit and also don’t want other people to post weird stuff in my communities
Interesting idea, thanks
The combination with “lemmy.zip” is nice :D
Well written, interesting article.
Really getting momentum from Reddit will be tough though. Our main advantage is that we have the rest of the Fediverse as a potential user base, and existing forum apps that also activate apub; reducing network effects. If the Fediverse has momentum, so has the threadiverse.
When I can, I try to contribute to [email protected]
Thanks! The community is growing slower, but now keeps consistently ofter 1000 MAU.
I don’t think I will do the migration to floonet.social after all. Instead, I want to wait until the Lemmy devs implement the admin option to disable image upload (which they want to implement in the next months). This way, you could still see images from other instances, but not upload images yourself.
Perhaps. But I at least heard the MAGA instance went away again pretty quickly.
I would say they belong to the authoritarian left.
I think its a bit complicated. For example, there was a big buzz when all H.P. novels were included in Netflix. On the other hand many queer people literally hate J.K. Rowling. But from all people that I know who read reguarly, I would say most persons have read Harry Potter.
