I think that is true. Could be because instances like Lemmy.ml don't let new users create an account, beehaw unfederated other instances and kbin also has some problems with federation.. So, only Lemmy.world can really thrive I guess. Other instances I have not seen that much. Maybe sh.itjust.works (or something like that) are thriving but I don't know.
Oh, my bad. I thought I read it somewhere that it was having some problems because of CloudFlare protection so the site would not go down by the flood of new users.
Wil it be possible to use the same client for Lemmy as for Mastodon? They speak the same protocol so it should not be extremely hard to port such client, right?
This should be done on instance level but I'm not sure how I feel about that.
If that is how it's going to be, we will get a lot of small instances with each their own set of instance-blocking-rules. Some want the funny cat gifs instances but not the nazi instances. Some do not want the cat instances but do want the nazi instances but Als not xyz... Mayham
In the end it will probably be like the way we interact with general websites: each user has their own set of websites they have bookmarked. Nobody is going through all the internet websites and sort by new.
Totally agree. It’s called social loafing. From Wikipedia: “In social psychology, social loafing is the phenomenon of a person exerting less effort to achieve a goal when they work in a group than when working alone. It is seen as one of the main reasons groups are sometimes less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals.”
In large communities like Reddit, users are less likely to participate than in a small community
Anyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol (lemmy.world)

Can I block entire instances?
Is it possible to block entire instances? I see I can block by user or community, but not by instance....
