Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends Facebook
It should come as no surprise that the lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta. Their transparent and opportunistic scheme to commodify the fediverse and it’s users will not be allowed to proceed. We strongly encourage other instance...
Lemmy.ml has now blocked Threads.net
You're viewing a single thread.
But.... Do we really expect Threads users to make their Mastodon-type tweets even show up on Reddit-style Lemmy?
They'd only show up if someone on the instance started subscribing to them, if I have understood how that all works correctly. And who would do such a silly thing?
And with Threads Algorithm controlling what you see, it's not even clear that subscribing would show you them. This is a much more meaningful decision for the Mastodon instances.
What are you on about? Thread’s algorithm only affects what you see in the threads app home page. If they federate fully/properly it’ll operate no different than mastodon does now.
Yes, I'm talking about what Threads users may see. It's not clear how the Threads Algorithm will evaluate and prioritize showing Mastodon toots, but even less clear how it will prioritize message-board-like Lemmy content. It may not ever show them because it's very possible it will either filter or devalue non-microblogging post types to fit with its native format. Whether or not they technically Federate is only half the question because they have the Algorithm deciding what you actually see.
Okay. The person you replied to was talking about subscribing to a threads user in Lemmy.
Yeah I'm not entirely unfertstanding why defederating with them should matter on Lemmy instances. Can we even view those types of posts on here? I know you can on kbin, but I didn't think that was even a functionality of Lemmy.
