Decentralisation doesn’t necessarily come with decentralized technical infrastructure, but its the basis for it. I’m still betting on ActivityPub. Sure social insentives are important, but the most openess will win. Also, Wordpress, Flipboard, Threads already joined ActivityPub, so the ecosystem already is kind of attractive in that direction.
Yeah, that’s really awesome
Piefed solves this with topics kind of neatly. You keep the unique communities but they are all in one place
Its kind of hard to say because I don’t think X is giving out reliable numbers about their own monthly active users, so. …
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?
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).
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
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.
Found it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/17357923/9209304
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 article became better as it went along. At the end I really wanted to increase my own FLOSS skills.
I think what the Fediverse mainly needs is more people with IT skills and money and infrastructure to host this stuff. Mastodon still doesn’t appeal to mainstream users, Lemmy is still having federation issues and missing central features. It will all still take years. Another thing is the problem of hosting all of this stuff, if it should scale.
I also used to write articles like this here, and I’m not completely against them if they don’t actually call for any ridiculous actions against big tech in a “revolution” (not a big butlerian jihad fan; make code not memes). At the end I guess I feel to be on the same page as her: I want to increase my own coding skills to effectively contribute something to the Fediverse (meaning without getting burned out in the process).
