Wow they banned the OP of that post 3 years from that community for misinformation. Do they have proof that it is misinformation?
Banned
@booty_flexx from the community Fediverse reason: Misinformation expires: in 3 years
I could not find that post being removed from modlog. There were other removed posts but not that particular one
Whats the point of modlog if it does not record everything for auditing purpose?
What if I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments.
I want people to come to Lemmy for its contents. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can subscribe to our communities instead?
Do you know exactly what Discord track?
You made me realise I asked the wrong question. It’s all about Threads. I updated the title and my question. Thank you
As seen on my other comments, I want Lemmy to grow so we can have diverse communities and diverse viewpoints. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can just subscribe to instances federating with them. That is why I don’t want to post on instances federating with Threads anymore
I also don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments
Would you still post to lemmy.world or you would create another community on lemmy.ml where Threads is blocked, if you were in my case?
Not OP but I am still waiting for my data request from a few weeks ago!
Is there a way to see why a post was deleted?
They will federate with Threads. If I continue posting on lemmy.world, Threads will benefit from it and Threads users would never join Lemmy because they could subscribe to our communities. But I also don’t want to split my niche communities
No. Only banned from a community called !Fediverse@lemmy.world on lemmy.world instance only. At least that’s what I guessed it was
Mammoth has a For You tab and I found it quite useful
I wish Lemmy provided ability to transfer ownership of posts/comments too. With subscriptions I can easily manually do it myself
Sorry I asked the wrong question. I’ve updated it. My question should have been specific to Threads federation. You can see my clarifie point of view in another comment
Would this change your answer
Looks like someone created a pull request (a code submit) for iOS client last month then conversation stopped
Yes its so you can use any mastodon account
I thought I made my question clear
Should I continue contributing to my niche communities on Instances I do not share my view with, or build similar communities on other Instances?
For example runeterra community only exists on lemmy.world, but I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments. I want people to come to Lemmy.
Should I create a new runeterra community lemmy.ml instead (lemmy.ml blocks Threads)? What would you do?
Very nice write-up. Was it fast for you to use? Notion has gotten quite slow for me on mobile
I still do not understand how their sync work, based on their description:
synced in your local p2p network
Can someone please explain this to me?
Their FAQ is pretty good , but it still does not answer that question
Across all instances
According to Lemmy documentation, if they don't block a server, it means they are federating (aka talking using ActivityPub protocol) with that server.
Lemmy has three types of federation:
- Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to.
- BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances.
- Open: Federate with all potential instances.
Federation is enabled by default.
It means Meta could in theory talking right now with instances not blocking them as part of their testing.
I don't know why they could not just block in the first place, then unblock/allow later if it makes sense.
I am sure they will come after reddit next :)
Edit: regarding people’s interest in this, many projects/people have been burnt before by megacorps so its definitely worth having our guard up to anticipate what might happen in the future
Meta started working with ActivityPub working group already

the admins are known to be Uyghur genocide deniers and pro-North-Korea
Do you have a link for this? I want to read it. I picked lemmy.ml because it was used by Memmy app community, has decent userbase, and they block threads.net. This is the description on https://join-lemmy.org/instances : "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers"
my understanding from Lemmy.world’s post was “guys, we’re years away from it if it ever happens, maybe we should chill until we learn more?”
Did they post their official's stance on it? All I saw was a post by ruud, the instance owner on Mastodon
As I explained in another comment, if they don't block a server, they are federating with it. Meta could be testing as we speak
I found !3dPrinting@lemmy.ml is quite active and cool
This is the answer I was looking for. You mentioned a couple of very interesting points and they are well articulated.
Do you post anywhere that I can follow?
This is still unclear for me to understand how sync works, because if it does not suit me, mo way I would be using it.
For example I mostly type on mobile, then when I open my laptop, the app will try to sync between my phone and my laptop, with their server helping establishing the connection? I don’t see how its gonna work well since both has to be online and have good Internet at the same time
I totally get that but I want to grow Lemmy and want users to join Lemmy. They won’t if they could just subscribe to our communities. Plus I don’t want threads to benefit from my content if I post to instances federating with Threads
While looking good on desktop (based on screenshots), it is definitely not designed for mobile. See below
