Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse....
Lemmy.ml has now blocked Threads.net
Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change...

I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml...
Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers....
The mods of all the major communities there remove comments criticism Hexbear and usually follow it up with a ban. It’s absolutely clear what is happening and it shouldn’t be allowed to continue.
Current breakdown at the time of this post sorted by the number of monthly active users:...
I strongly encourage instance admins to defederate from Facebook/Threads/Meta....
The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:...
I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home...
I just read this point in a comment and wanted to bring it to the spotlight....
In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.
Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps...
Whoever is in charge of that instance, STOP....
From 3000 daily active users on June 1, 2023 to 47500 on June 26, 2023....
From 2,997 active users across all lemmy instances at the beginning of June, the number increased to 52,797 by June 30th. Source....
As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.
This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:...

So since the mass-exodus from Reddit we can see that the total amount of active users has gone down rather heavily: i.imgur.com/MeQok2F.png...
Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That’s a 40% growth in about 12 hours!...
