EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳


We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

I signed up for both kbin.social and Lemmy.world as I'm figuring things out. So I'm sure there's plenty of cross over between the members of each community. I just wonder how much.

I firstly signed at lemmy.ml, then kbin and then lemmy.world.
I found kbin more convenient personally for pc use, but both are beautiful and evolving.

i'd rather have a mesh of small-ish instances instead of several huge ones, that aside the more people the better.

I think federation wars will cause that end point. If I wanted to start a community- or group of communities- I’d put them on their own instance and not have user signups. That minimizes exposure to conflict - either you like sports communities / Pathfinder communities / whatever or you don’t. If beehaw wants to lock themselves down it doesn’t affect my community. If Lemmy.world gets blocked by a bunch of instances it doesn’t affect my community. I don’t have to deal with the consequences on other instances of users coming from my instance.

I’d go a step further and say that identity management should exist separately from content, but that would probably break brains already struggling with the concept of federation.

Other instances shall just be mere vassal-instances in YOUR federated empire.

Time to divide methinks

Imagine we could build a sub for annual fediverse competition and everyone is participating under the flag of their instance.

That could be so cool and it would match the vibe of this whole community.

What does it mean that beehaw.ord is defederated?

[-] Anarch157a@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

It stopped receiving posts or comments from other instances like lemmy.world. Their reasoning is that they want a highly moderated "safe" instance, but since moderation tools are still very primitive, they decided to defederate, it was easier than trying to moderate posts from the big instances. They said they will re-federate once mod tools improve.

They only defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works (don't remember where the dots were in that). If you look at their blocklist they're also defederated from a shitload of other instances, but most of those are some combination of spam, illegal content, and/or Nazis, which is fair.
