While I agreed those who do not want federation with Threads should leave (me included), lemmy.world has not bent any knee. The admin is taking a wait and see approach, and willing to block if it turns out bad

Great heads up

I just don’t get why people would join SOCIAL media if they don’t want to their posts public. Its like having a group meeting in the middle of a public square and complain people saw them

Maybe they should just use discord or or private communities instead

At least governments/any essential services around the world should

Great idea. I was trying to figure out if it was lemmy.world trying to deal with new users or a bug with Memmy app that caused random errors

Is it possible to have the lag metrics by instances in a table format? Its so hard to view your site on mobile

Thats very considerate of you

Please don’t take those complaints as negative feedback. I don’t think Lemmy is designed to be private and your search engine would be a great of help to the whole community.

By the way, do you plan to create a community to discuss about your search engine? Maybe users can help you with testing or report issues or improvement

I doubt people joining small instances would miss any content from FB/Instagram/Threads/Twitter

The content on reddit is huge but I cut the tie and happier with Lemmy.

Post with text AND link does not show link in Memmy at the moment. It has been reported here https://lemmy.world/post/1022041

Definitely. We need a way to sustain this. Many of us me included would be happy to pay for a service that respect us, and especially those volunteering admins/mods. They deserve to be paid

it will collect a wide variety of data from users, including health, financial information, browsing histories, location, purchases, contacts, search history and sensitive information.

How do you block an app from accessing browsing/search history/purchase?

Lovely resource to help people decide for themselves

Can you link to the source?

I used PowerDeleteSuite which kinda do the same thing but its browser-based

There are certain apps I must use, for example banking or Notion. I can already block them from using location/contacts/photos…

I just wanted to see if other like browsing history/purchase history can be blocked

There are under the hood data that is not displayed on the site which they can scrap. FB would be broke if they only rely on the FB posts alone without all the tracking everywhere. Even your movement on the screen or where you pause on the page are tracked.

So no they dont get all the data unless we federate them.

My apologies in advance but I tried to read but could not understand the essential points

Can you please summaries your posts into a tldr ?

With how much information about your location/job/career/relationship with other professionals on LinkedIn, I would rather to have 1 company I can trust to handle data/security/privacy concerns

On LinkedIn at least your profile is not public for EVERYONE to see

Thanks for sharing. It is exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work

Thats a nice/concise guide

This. Mastodon need to work on discovery.

Thanks for the tips on tags. I initially followed tags but could not unfollow them using official mastodon app so I gave up. Have since switched to Metatext but Lemmy has way better content so I’d rather spent my time there

Its your choice as instance owner to do that

Visit https://fedipact.online/ to see a list of instance owners who will defederate their instance from Threads

Heads up: its a long list

Which RSS reader are you using?

I do hope fediverse will mature and reputable instances established. For now, I don’t think LinkedIn have any competitors, let alone better security/privacy. I do trust Microsoft in that regards than say Google/Facebook/Amazon, or any instance owners right now

How did you migrate between instance?

Thanks for your reply. Your version is much easier to understand. No offence to the OP but it was my comprehension

Did it migrate all your posts/comments/saved items? It looks like just subscriptions

Not OP but I recently started using Mastodon at and it was not for me.

For my use case, it was hard to find people I can trust/verify on the platform. I do not want to read every single toot, and browsing via hashtags isn’t ideal. Even when I search a hashtag it still does not show me the most meaningful toots but latest ones. It lacks (on purpose) an algorithm to surface the most interesting toots given a context. I believe Bluesky may have that!

Lemmy, however, is so much better with upvotes, sorting and search.
