  • Friends, Family and Fucking.

    Agree on FB, IG, and Twitter, but which of those are on Reddit?

  • Sorry, typo, I meant "defederate". Lemmy.today indeed shows you everything.

  • A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy)

  • Amazing! So what, the Piefed API is already there? I thought that was still ongoing

  • There is no reason we need 1M+ MAU for the sake of the network, we aren’t trying to turn a profit

    There's also no reason a topic as popular as TV shows relies on 3 posters to keep the main community active: !showsandmovies@lemm.ee

    We don't need to reach 1M MAU, but having 100k would already be a nice improvement

  • Ah, indeed. Thanks for the feature request

  • There used to be a very nice interactive lemmy server selection site at one point which guided you based on interest/subinterest as self-tagged in , but I can’t remember the domain anymore :(

    Yes, it rings a bell too but don't remember it either :(

    But the lemmy devs are not interested in either doing things like allowing servers to tag themselves

    Indeed, that's probably a whole topic altogether. If people want to try working on a better join-lemmy website, that would be great, but it seems like people are already spread too thin.

  • Once Piefed will get Thunder as well as an iOS app, it will become an alternative. That's the main blocker I have now recommending it. Besides that, it's a quite good Lemmy alternative.

  • Difficult to sell a forum to people where most mods on Reddit are going to remove posts mentioning it: https://lemmy.ca/post/37657096

    People on specific forums are probably happy where they are and aren't going to switch from their established forums. The strength of Reddit and Lemmy is to be able to have several forums accessible from the main site.

    The last place that's left is /r/RedditAlternatives, where you just have people who want, well, a Reddit alternatives, and they usually don't mention their preferences.

    But I agree with you to an extend, !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is a good example of focused forum. It's a bit unique on Lemmy unfortunately.

  • Lemmy is a very similar platform to Reddit, it makes sense to target those people.

    web search engines

    The sad thing is that search engines aren't really at the best at the moment, and with Google and Reddit deal, it's not like they are going to promote alternatives forums that much.

  • have a tool “choose an instance for me based on my location / interests”.

    https://join-lemmy.org/ kind of does that, but the results can be a bit off. I just tried "Technology", and the first result was lemmy.today, which is fine, but doesn't defederate anything, so maybe not the best choice for a new joiner.

    "Gaming" gave https://sub.wetshaving.social/ as the first result, not sure it's the best recommendation.

    Edit: defederate, not federate

  • Hello,

    That could be, but at the same time I'm not sure it has to be on the same platform. IG and Imgur are quite different in terms of use case and audiences, the CDN aspect should probably be low on the Pixelfed priority, it's not going to bring a lot to the average IG user.

  • In the past I used to only link to one instance (sopuli.xyz), but since the whole jury nullification story I thought it would be better to have both a USA and Europe servers.

  • https://jointhefediverse.net/

    That's a good resource for people wanting to learn how it works behind the scenes. Most people don't want that, they just want a link to click and see what the platform looks like.

    The one issue with Mbin is the lack of mobile apps. I know there is !interstellar@kbin.earth, but Lemmy really is the best in that regard.

    Let's clarify something: does Bluesky allow federated servers on their network? Is there a list of those independent servers?
