There are now multiple browser extensions to redirect outgoing links to subs in the threadiverse to your local instance of choice

Kbin Linker Extension

Lemmy Linker Extension

This is a major downside to how federation works currently and something we shouldn't need extensions for, but as a stopgap solution I am glad they exist.

"My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy" -RedReader

RedReader is a Reddit app with over 100k downloads on the Google Play store

"I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API."

What is a Fediverse Galaxy?

As more and more instances are providing multiple services under the same management, we need a term to talk about this type of arrangement. A Fediverse Galaxy is a collection of federated software that is provided by the same admin or collective.

Wow lemmyverse.net just crossed 800 running instances of Lemmy that it's tracking!

Go check out some some communities! https://lemmyverse.net and follow a few from whatever software you are using. If you are searching from Mastodon replace the ! with an @ in the !groupname@instance.domain when you search for it or search using the full htttps://instance.domain/c/communuty in your home server search bar
