So how would they take PixelFed, Mastodon, Lemmy & Kbin / Mbin? They can only try add a feature and if the rest of the Fediverse doesn’t like it, they won’t add it to there own platforms,
Yeah and I’m not going to stop using my instance I love it to much, Maybe I will boot up my own personal one if anything. Just glad more people will hopefully understand and can use the Fediverse
Yes Mbin fixed this, my instance runs a version of Mbin and I love it, sad we are missing a few things from Kbin but the quality is better in the end. I’ll have to look at more Lemmy.world communities as that seems to be where most people end up
Thank you
That’s fair enough, I know that I want to see smaller communities to grow such as ones for certain games and creators. Making it into a place not only for Techy people is what the Fediverse needs to grow to wider audiences.
Yes if certain instances don’t like Threads they can de-federate from it, and I’m sure a few will, Personally I think it should be down to user choice as the users on Threads aren’t to bad it’s the company that is.
The problem is there’s only so far that the general userbase will grow without the fall off big tech, the only one that is close to falling is X formally Twitter and I don’t think most people want those sorts of people on here, not yet at least.
Sure you might be right in the way of the Fediverse growing but either way big tech is goanna want to join the Fediverse sooner or later, we might as well try and get as many users to jump the Big Tech ship and move to these platforms.
It could be a benefit to have people be further aware of the Fediverse being a better way than Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and any other modern Social Media.
Yes I get that but the only way people will feel like they can move across is by other bigger ‘projects’ being made like Threads that integrate and teach people the basics of the Fediverse before they possibly push off to Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, PixelFed, Ext.
This is a good step even if the people behind it are terrible hopefully having people interact with other communities will push people to move over to them instead of being in control of META or other big companies.
Does it do it automatically or do you have to request from the admins of the instance?
I’m just glad we will be able to interact with those few people that won’t use the rest of the Fediverse but stay on Threads.
The only benefit is that the Fediverse will have potentially more users as well as companies possibly following in METAs steps and integrating ActivityPub. This is a beneficial step for the internet but only time will tell how it actually plays out.
Yeah it’s one of the many reasons I use Kbin / Mbin over Lemmy. Really hope features like that come to Lemmy in the future.
Yeah I find it sometimes helpful that multiple people can run communities in different instances but ATM it would be good if a few people created alternatives to set reddit like communities and we all go from there. Maybe it’s a project someone could work on.
Kbin / Mbin actually fixed this by allowing if a Community isn’t managed for 3 months by mods then it will be available for people to claim to admin. This allows people to keep the Community going and hopefully blow some life into it.
I’m sure if Bluesky doesn’t create something the Fediverse will have someone create a bridge protocol opensource to allow for easy integration into these systems.
What is really good for everyone already using the Fediverse as it doesn’t mean as much work when it comes to bringing Threads & Mastodon compatibility. The multi-word tags are a cool feature but will have to looked at once Federated.
As they haven’t said they aren’t coming to the Fediverse and if anything say they are still looking to Federate it’s still on-topic as of the moment but yes it feels like they are kicking the can down the road or have lost it completely and just don’t want to tell anyone yet.
I’ve never really used Tumblr but it does sound like a cool fix, hope other Fediverse platform may consider it in the future.
So like I said, if people don’t like what they add, we just won’t add it. Why should we bend over backwards, also EEE is a Microsoft thing more than anything. It won’t kill decentralisation it would just prove that companies like that are shit.
