“As the social media landscape ebbs and flows, the team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the distributed collection of social networks known as the Fediverse, a collection of social media...
Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works (beehaw.org)
Interesting bit of news for the threadiverse. All three of these are fairly large lemmy instances
Six months after the initial reddit surge (graphs)
cross-posted from: lemmy.ca/post/12971023...
Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?
I had an account on lemmy.one and now the instance has been down for a day or two so I made this new account. I also heard other small instances are dead or disappeared....
PSA: Lemmy votes can be manipulated
The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate....

Lemmy instances that are focused on mirroring Reddit content?
I’ve posted before about my fediverser project, and I am now looking to see who is interested in participating....
Petition for lemmy.world to close registrations.
I just realized that none of the comments or posts I made in the last week from my instance are getting to lemmy.world....
Why are Mastodon's trending hashtags so ... dull? (lemm.ee)
As a new user, I’m enjoying Mastodon’s vibe so far but the one thing that is a letdown is the trending hashtags. I’ve been checking them regularly over the past couple of weeks and it seems like they’re pretty much always like this....
I am extremely grateful to everybody involved with Lemmy. That includes you!
Hello!...

Title says it. Apparently lemmy devs are not concerned with such worldly matters as privacy, or respecting international privacy laws.
Lemmy.world reaches new milestone: 100k users and counting! (lemmy.world)
Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit’s API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!
Lemmy's daily user activity skyrockets with a 1200% surge so far this month! (lemmy.world)
From 3000 daily users to 41000 active daily users!...
Anyone else notice the fediverse is quite close knit?
I keep seeing the same names popping up. I think it’s rather cute!
The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people.
The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn’t quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.

How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) (ploum.net)
With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.
Lemmy World is down once again.
Ugh.

From 528k daily comments on June 1, 2023 to 5.7 million daily comments on June 27, 2023....
If we're going to have an effective strategy against FB/Meta, we should clear up some misconceptions around defederation

Fediverse sustainability
I prefer good faith discussions please. I love the Fediverse and love what it can be long term. The problem is that parts of the culture want nothing to do with financial aspect. Many are opposed to ads, memberships, sponsorships etc The “small instances” response does nothing to positively contribute to the conversation....
Rant: I hate the term “normie”.
Let me preface by saying, I would love to hear counter points and am fully open to the fact that I could be wrong and totally out of touch. I just want to have some dialogue around something that’s been bothering me in the fediverse....
