Instagram joins the Fediverse
(feddit.it)
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Out of the loop, what's this attitude? New at the Fediverse and haven't heard of this before
@jherazob @lars Generally Fediverse users don't want their posts globally searchable
@me @jherazob maybe wrong to generalize, but everyone who tried so far (including many indie makers) were met with harsh pushback
I can sort of see that for mastodon as it's meant to be ephemeral but is the Lemmy community also resistant to indexing?
Why is that? I feel like i'm missing something obvious here but wouldn't that be a positive?
From my understanding, people are worried about the effect that happens on Twitter where bad actors search certain keywords to pile onto users. It avoids having to constantly block these bad actors.
