I know it’s a touchy subject all around but if I didn’t have to go back to reddit regularly to read BoRU I probably wouldn’t go on it at all. I keep trying to ditch reddit entirely and that one sub keeps sucking me back in....

Pretty Please? I’m trying to get some signups, but some federated users would be nice too!

I am in the opinion that some alternative UIs should be available on the instance (domain) – if possible, of course. Lemmy.world already has many alt. UIs, I think we should have something like that. So, here’s a list:...

Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete....

While Threads’ integration with Mastodon has caused a big stir on both Mastodon and Lemmy, it is not the only for-profit company moving in that direction. Flipboard has announced it is embracing ActivityPub and gradually phasing in Mastodon integration. I have read elsewhere that Flipboard already works with Pixelfed, too....

Should sh.itjust.works preemptively defederate from Threads?...

English message:...

before people criticize me I am not using my main account because I do not feel safe bringing up these issues there, as these people and issues still are not dealt with. I do not want to put myself in danger, I will not be engaging in or attempting to post polls or votes here....

Hello everyone, I operate an instance previously defederated by this instance known as lemmy.comfysnug.space and we were defederated because many people didn’t like our current rules....

Please share your thoughts, concerns and opinions. Try to keep it constructive....

Some of you may have noticed that there’s a new bot in town. But this time, its one of ours....

Welcome, this vote will determine which image we use for our banner image for sh.itjust.works. The discussion thread is in the Agora, and was also cross-posted to ImageAI...

The two obvious themes in my mind are gears/some sort of complex machine, or computer hardware/circuits....

I’ve seen a lot of discussion about Threads around the fediverse and I believe our main instance community has had a few large discussions about it (here’s a recent one)....

Like the title says. How do we create a new community on sh.itjust.works?...

Hello,...

I’d like to ask for @TheDude to make a server-wide announcement, visible to all members of this instance, that a binding vote about defederation is currently taking place....

So the exploding heads vote is well past a day old now. The vote is almost unanimous to defederate. It’s been obvious since a few hours after it went up what the community wants. It’s now taken well past two weeks to defederate from an obvious alt right troll and bot platform. Twelve days of silence from admins, then a day...

Final vote: NO...

Please consider using my theme on this instance, so that everyone could enjoy a more more modern, efficient UI when browsing sh.itjust.works. It works with Lemmy 0.17, 0.18 and 0.18.1rc. It has a light theme variant, dark theme or both (auto)....

Say “aye” or yes" if you are in favor of defederation....

We should try to keep this instance as a Free Speech destination, rather than yet another island controlled by the thought police....

Exploding-heads.com is another instance on Lemmy where alt-right MAGA types tend to reside. Some people on this server want us to defederate from them immediately, some people want to save defederation as a last resort. They have 104 active users (more stats below)....

If you look at the top ~20 servers on fedidb, they are very clearly botswarms. Either intentionally set up that way, or accidentally due to turning off protections and not deleting users....
