Thanks for creating the project; it's a good way to help maintain a sense of community within the Fediverse.
Given that the vast majority of participants were from Lemmy or Piefed, next time it might also be worth making a separate post for it on Mastodon.
Not unexpected given how inactive it's been, but still unfortunate.
“No punishment. No Investigation. Carry on, patriots,” Hegseth said in a social media post.
Criminals all the way down.
More options and innovation is good, though I'm not sure there's enough users yet to viably support a fourth mainline Threadiverse protocol. Mbin serves the same role Catodon is trying to fill and doesn't have many users as it is.
AMP links are bad for privacy and web decentralization; here's the non-AMP version.
I recommend using an extension to automatically redirect AMP URLs to their non-AMP counterparts.
What's the 0.1% that wasn't backed up?
Child abuse is not free speech.
To be expected from .ml.
Lemmy Federate is designed to overcome this limitation through automated community federation.
This depends on the frontend or app you choose to use. Most Lemmy apps support in-app media uploads.
Herd mentality is just as much of a problem of Reddit; there's just more users there, so more 'herds' are able to form.
Grouping all Lemmy users together falsely assumes they all share the same opinions and blocking preferences. In any case, instances attract users by tailored moderation practices; users should join the instance that best matches their preferences. While some viewpoints—such as those promoting fascism, transphobia, or racism—are generally unwelcome across major instances, a certain baseline is needed in civilized society to have discussions in which no one is excluded on the basis of who they are.
A very broad generalization about a wide array of moderators and rules across communities, but if you don't like the way a community or instance is run, just block it and move on. I gladly block all of lemmy.ml and my All feed is better for it.
What gives that impression? While donating towards server costs is important, and a handful of notable instances such as lemm.ee have closed, most instances seem to be doing fine.
Have you tried alternative frontends and/or apps? The default Lemmy frontend is known to be simplistic in comparison and should be considered more of a reference implementation than anything.
Ultimately, the Threadiverse is still relatively small and will hopefully continue to improve as Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin are developed further. All of the core features of Reddit are present, without the commercialization that has left it degraded.
