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

How do I see which lemmy instance has the most users?
It doesn't matter. You shouldn't go to an instance just because it has the most members. If we do that, we'll end up ruining the Fediverse, because the platforms will just become centralized. In stead, find one that aligns the most with your values/content you want to see.
I understand the reasoning behind us not all just joining the biggest one, but can you explain why we should join the ones that align with our values/content we want to see? If anyone on any instance can see everything that is on all instances(I think I'm understanding this correctly), then why does it matter what other content is on the instance that we choose?
Also, if the instance I am on shuts down then do I loose all of my comment/post history? Is there anything that I, as a user or community mod, can do to prepare for this happening so I can keep my own data and put it onto a new instance?
It's not really about the content. It's about the admins and rules. Some are more permissive about what instances they federate with, some are not. Your admin has a lot of power, and you should make sure you have an admin you trust.
Account migration is coming soon™. It's not a thing yet, but it is on the list of features coming at some point.
Awesome, makes sense, thanks for the info. Where can I see such a list? I'm curious about other features.. Post tags/flair, and links opening up directly into Jerboa for example.
Amazing! Thanks so much for this, I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with me.
I'm already on several instances, I just wanted to know if there was another one worth joining
