There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k) (lemmy.fediverse.observer)

It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping....

This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation? (i.imgflip.com)

Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative (ibis.wiki)

Lemmy.world down, probably following the upgrade. A reminder to move to smaller instances for a better experience (lemmy-status.org)

Lemmy's active users are up again for the first time since the exodus (lemmy.ml)

I like this significantly better than Mastodon

My experience with the Fediverse has only been through Mastodon, through which I struggled to find a community I really gelled with. Either it was supper overwhelming with meme posts or NSFW, or it was too chill to the point of nothing. Or, it was hyperfocused like FOSS/Linux and became uninteresting after awhile. May try again,...

Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed" (wedistribute.org)

Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies in order to remain listed.

Threads' New Terms and Conditions Affects the Fediverse (wedistribute.org)

This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

A clear victory for the free fediverse: Meta now says integrating with ActivityPub is "a long way out" (privacy.thenexus.today)

When Meta launched their new Twitter competitor Threads on July 5, they said that it would be compatible with the ActivityPub protocol, Mastodon, and all the other decentralized social networks in the fediverse "soon"....

What are your criteria for choosing an instance other than Lemmy.world?

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....

I am extremely grateful to everybody involved with Lemmy. That includes you!

Hello!...

Lemmy.world removes its rules against discrimination (lemmy.world)

Lemmy World is down once again.

Ugh.

Why is Lemmy World down?

Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

Dethroning lemmy.ml, lemm.ee rises as the second most active instance (lemmy.world)

Idea: fediverse of ecommerce. Time to dethrone amazon and ebay. What do you think?

Buying from an alternative ecommerce site usually sucks: you have to register for every website, enter your address, payment information and other information, they may leak data or store it improperly, you may not know the reputation of the website or business, you can’t easily compare products with other vendors and more....
